Magic Carpet Ride
Reservoir Dogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a cloud of sight I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near to the stars away from here
You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you away
Last night I held Aladdin's lamp, so I wished that I can stay
Before the thing could answer
Me well someone took, took the lamp away
I looked around a lousy can was all I found
You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl, look inside girl, let the sound take you away
You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
You don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl on a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me, fantasy will set you free
You don't know what
You don't know what
You don't know what

The song "Magic Carpet Ride" by Reservoir Dogs is a dreamy, psychedelic exploration of the mind and imagination. The lyrics describe the experience of drifting away on a cloud of sound, traveling to unknown places and experiencing the freedom of fantasy. The verses use vivid imagery to paint a picture of escaping reality and transcending the mundane.
The opening lyrics "I like to dream girl, yes, yes right between the sound machine" suggest a desire to enter into a space of pure sensory experience. The singer is drawn to the sounds of the machine, which transport them to a dreamlike, ethereal state. The chorus invites a companion to come along on this journey of the mind, promising the liberation of fantasy.
The second verse introduces the story of Aladdin's lamp, and the disappointment of having it taken away. This could be seen as a metaphor for the fragility of our aspirations and the need to protect our dreams from those who might seek to destroy them. The chorus is repeated, with increasing urgency and intensity, as if to reinforce the need to seize the moment and escape into the imagination.
Overall, "Magic Carpet Ride" is a poignant and evocative tribute to the power of music and the mind to take us on journeys beyond the confines of our everyday lives.
