Desert Night
RÜFÜS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your touch is taking me away from here
I'm alright, with no direction, hey
Too much, you're making me forget myself
Let's take a ride across the desert night

And when the sun comes out
In the morning light
I can feel you there
Oh, look at me now
Look at me now
I'm right here

And as the light spills out
In the sleepless air
You will see me there
Don't go anywhere, go anywhere
Wait right here

I'm alright
Oh, look at me now
I'm alright
Oh, look at me now

And when the sun comes up
In the morning light
I can feel you there
And when the sun comes up
In the morning light

You said, I'm looking for my happiness
I want to try to feel connected, hey
And the rush of falling into emptiness
I want to drive under the street light

(And when the sun)

Oh, look at me now
Look at me now
I'm right here

And as the light spills out
Of the sleepless air
You will see me there
Don't go anywhere, go anywhere
Wait right here

I'm alright
Oh, look at me now
I'm alright
Oh, look at me now

And when the sun comes up
In the morning light
I can feel you there
And when the sun comes up
In the morning light





I'm alright
I'm alright

Overall Meaning

The song "Desert Night" by RÜFÜS is a beautifully crafted piece that blends electronic and indie rock genres. The lyrics talk about being lost and uncertain in one's life, seeking a sense of direction and purpose. The singer finds solace in the company of someone who takes them away from their turmoil and forgets themselves in their touch. The lyrics suggest that this person is a source of happiness and a way of feeling connected, and together they embark on a road trip across the desert night, which is a metaphor for a journey towards a brighter future.


The song's chorus, "And when the sun comes up, in the morning light, I can feel you there," speaks to the idea that the singer sees hope in their newfound companion and feels that they are not alone in their search for happiness. As the morning light spills out into the sleepless air, the singer encourages their companion to stick around and not go anywhere, reassuring them that they are alright and that they will eventually find what they are looking for.


Overall, "Desert Night" is a powerful and uplifting song that speaks to the universal human experience of struggling to find one's place in the world and the comfort that can be found in the company of others.

Your touch is taking me away from here
Your touch is transporting me away from this current place and time


I'm alright, with no direction, hey
I'm content with not knowing where I'm going


Too much, you're making me forget myself
Your influence is causing me to lose sight of who I am


Let's take a ride across the desert night
Let's explore the unknown together and embark on a journey across the vast, dark desert


And when the sun comes out
As the day begins


In the morning light
With the arrival of daylight


I can feel you there
I have a sense that you are present with me


Oh, look at me now
Take notice of my current state


And as the light spills out
As the light of day emerges


In the sleepless air
In the restless and active atmosphere


You will see me there
You will spot me in that space


Don't go anywhere, go anywhere
Stay put and don't wander off to any other location


Wait right here
Remain in this spot


I'm alright
I am content and at ease


You said, I'm looking for my happiness
You expressed your desire to find happiness


I want to try to feel connected, hey
I long to feel a sense of connectedness with someone or something


And the rush of falling into emptiness
The thrill and excitement of descending into a state of emptiness


I want to drive under the street light
I want to cruise under the illumination of the city's street lamps


(And when the sun)
(As the day)


I'm right here
I am currently present in this particular location


I'm alright
I am content and at ease


And when the sun comes up
With the arrival of morning

I've never really had a favorite band or group ever. But Rufus, my god, almost everyone of their songs gets me rolling just from listening. Like its the same frequency as my soul. Makes me want to scream with joy and cry at the same time

The most underrated song

@theweepinggem5366

i praise you with a epic person

@RedHausProductions

It's not only the song that's amazing, it's this entire piece as a whole. It's so incredibly beautiful and well executed. It feels so perfectly like it's a scene from a Japanese or Korean film, set late at night at a karaoke bar where this guy is carrying on and drunkenly singing a song (the song being Desert Night), then this girl shows up, and they spend the rest of the night together in kind of a strange, one night, non-sexual encounter. The lighting and atmosphere are also just too perfect. Everything is. 10/10

@felippemiranda2892

That’s interesting second time that I watched it... and I was tripping!!!.... hahahah... Mine perception was that they are the same person
