We Ride Tonight
Sherbet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a love that has burned a scar deep in our hearts
Here I am, hiding the shame and I'll live a lie
While I'm scared to face what I am
You and me, making our play
But afraid to show the secret fears
That we hide until the day we walk side by side
Because the ride has just begun
Into the night we're on the run
We've got to prove what we can be tonight
There's a place where we can go 'til we crash with the roar
Of the blood pumping loud in our ears then we shall know
The excitement of reaching out
Touching our own secret fears
Because the ride has just begun
Into the night we're on the run
We've got to prove what we can be
Because the ride has just begun
(Into the night)
Into the night we're on the run
(Baby, tonight)
We've got to prove our honesty
Tonight
You and me under cover of night
We become all the lovers we pretend we can be
With our hearts beating faster
We're close to the edge and with a final scream
We'll face the agony of our release
Because the ride has just begun
Into the night we're on the run
We've got to prove what we can be
Because the ride has just begun
(Into the night)
Into the night we're on the run
(Baby, tonight)
We've got to prove our honesty
Because we ride tonight
Because the ride has just begun
(Into the night)
Into the night we're on the run
(Baby, tonight)
We've got to prove what we can be
Tonight
In Sherbet's song We Ride Tonight, the lyrics speak of two people who are deeply in love, but who are afraid to show their true feelings to the world. They are living a lie and hiding their secret fears until the day when they can walk side by side in the truth of what they cannot deny. As they ride into the flame of their love that has left a scar deep in their hearts, they know that they must prove what they can be tonight.
The song is about taking risks and facing the consequences of falling in love. The characters are on the run, escaping from their fears and doubts, running towards a place where they can be themselves without judgment. They are willing to face the agony of their release, to let go of their fears and doubts and embrace the excitement of touching their own secret fears.
The chorus repeats the idea that the ride has just begun, that they are on the run into the night and that they must prove their honesty and what they can be tonight. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as if they know that time is running out and that they must seize the moment and take the risk.

As we run into the flame
As we head towards a risky and potentially dangerous situation
Of a love that has burned a scar deep in our hearts
Of a love that has left a permanent mark on our hearts due to its intensity
Here I am, hiding the shame and I'll live a lie
I am here, trying to conceal my guilt and living a life based on lies
While I'm scared to face what I am
Because I am afraid to confront my true self and deal with the consequences
You and me, making our play
We, together, are taking a chance and making a move
But afraid to show the secret fears
However, we are too scared to reveal our hidden apprehensions
That we hide until the day we walk side by side
The fears that we keep hidden until the day we can openly face and embrace them
In the truth of what we cannot deny
In the reality of what we know to be true but cannot ignore
Because the ride has just begun
Because this journey has only just begun and there is more to come
Into the night we're on the run
We are running into the night, towards our destiny
We've got to prove what we can be tonight
We have to demonstrate what we are capable of tonight
There's a place where we can go 'til we crash with the roar
There is a place where we can go until we reach the peak of excitement and passion
Of the blood pumping loud in our ears then we shall know
When our hearts are beating loud and fast, we will truly understand
The excitement of reaching out
The thrill of indulging in our desires and reaching our limits
Touching our own secret fears
Confronting and facing our own deep-rooted fears
We've got to prove our honesty
We have to prove that we are genuine in our intentions
You and me under cover of night
You and I are hidden from sight in the darkness of the night
We become all the lovers we pretend we can be
We become the ideal version of ourselves that we usually pretend to be
With our hearts beating faster
With our hearts pumping harder than ever before
We're close to the edge and with a final scream
We are at the brink of our limits and with one last cry of release
We'll face the agony of our release
We will finally confront the agony of letting go of our fears and inhibitions
Because we ride tonight
Because we are taking this journey tonight, without looking back
We've got to prove what we can be tonight
We have to prove ourselves tonight and demonstrate our true potential

Hey Bob I'm looking at what Jack was talking about
And it's definitely not a particle that's nearby
It is a bright object and it's obviously rotating because it's flashing
It's way out in the distance, certainly rotating in a very rhythmic fashion
Because the flashes come around almost on time
As we look back at the earth it's up at about 11 o'clock
About maybe ten or twelve diameters
I don't know whether that does you any good
But there's something out there

I remember this being in heavy rotation in MTV's earliest days and I couldn't get enough of it. My 16 year old self would ride my motorcycle at night through the empty streets of downtown Fresno singing it out loud in my helmet. Good shit.
