I remember somewhere in the rain, the faces of the passers-by, staring
faces, broken blinds
I recall the situation clearly, standing in a crowded car, I can feel the
need in me
CHORUS
Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on, you're a nightrider
Riding the night, searching for what is gone
Never reaching the end, so you must travel on
I still see that vision of delight, while cruising on the black of night,
but she keeps a step ahead
Looking out the corner of her world, nobody ever knows a girl who once
lived along this way
CHORUS
Desolation, degradation row, go on, don't let the feeling show, she's a
ten, a penny dream
Faces with no name and no address keep staring in on my distress, but she
kills me with her smile
CHORUS

What is the meaning behind Nightrider lyrics?
When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, the title "Nightrider" of the Electric Light Orchestra gives rise to the notions of longing and the human struggle for survival through hard times. The words express a trek done on the night, which stands for the retrieval of something lost or out of reach, along with nightrider who is a metaphor for toughness and stubbornness against a barren and uncertain situation. Nightrider lyrics are mostly about thinking, feeling angry, suffering from love, remembering the past, and being alone. However, the song at the same time gives out the message of longing and searching, isolation and desolation and inaccessible love. The lyrics portray the emotions of longing and distress, which perhaps are not meant for very young kids. Although there is no foul language or rape content, the themes may need the presence of a parent. ✔️
