Night Crawler
Rebelution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look straight ahead in the distance oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
You'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker
Look straight ahead in the distance oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
Yeah you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker

She'll take away all the love that you feel, she'll want to suck up and steal
She wants to look around town with her wicked eye, but we'll love and come real
She'll try to cover herself in the underground, she thinks she's got it locked down
But take it from me she's so lonely

Look straight ahead in the distance
Yes there's a nightcrawler walking with her fist clenched, but raise up
And feed her some happiness
And before you know it she'll be smiling with some love
And yes, all right now let me tell you what we're trying to suggest:
Once again, Rebelution on a loving quest
Tell her to look at the ocean when the sun sets
And then put out our hands for the unfortunate
All right pick up the slack from the wickedness
Straighten up clean up your manners and your etiquette

Look straight ahead in the distance, oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
Yeah you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker
Look straight ahead in the distance, oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
Yeah you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker

Late night, three in the morning yeah, you can hear her footsteps one after the other and
Nobody ever seen her talk back, nobody ever seen her walking on the right track
Tell me do you know where your soul is?
You glitter but the gold's up in the night's mist, and it's crawling up on ya
How many people in this house tonight feelin' that sense of aggravation on a lonely night

Look straight ahead in the distance
Yes there's a nightcrawler walking with her fist clenched, now raise up
And feed her some happiness
And before you know it she'll be smiling with some love
And yes, all right now let me tell you what we're trying to suggest
Once again, Rebelution on a loving quest
Tell her to look at the ocean when the sun sets
And put out our hands for the unfortunate all right
And pick up the slack from the wickedness
Straighten up clean up your manners and your etiquette all right

Look straight ahead in the distance, oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
Yeah you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker
Look straight ahead in the distance, oh yeah there's a nightcrawler
Yeah you'd better move quick, don't you know she's a night stalker

Overall Meaning

The song "Night Crawler" by Rebelution speaks about a woman who is considered a "night stalker" or "night crawler" due to her tendency to roam the streets at night. The lyrics suggest that this woman might have a reputation for being someone who steals love and happiness from others, but the singer suggests that perhaps she is simply lonely and in need of connection. The chorus emphasizes the need to be aware of her presence and to move quickly, in a cautionary tone. However, the verses suggest that there might be a way to reach out to her, to show her kindness, and to help her find happiness and love.


The lyrics are structured in a repetitive manner, with the chorus being repeated twice after each verse. The verses are filled with imagery of the woman walking the streets at night, with the emphasis on her loneliness and isolation. The singer suggests that she might be misunderstood and that her actions could be seen in a different light if people reached out to her.


In essence, the song calls upon listeners to be more compassionate, to recognize that people who are seen as a threat might be dealing with their own struggles, and to try and find ways to reach out and connect with them. It's a reminder that often people are not what they seem, and that extending kindness and understanding can make a significant difference in someone's life.
