about

In short, this song is about cycling home in the middle of the night. Alone or with friends. After a long night out, cycling home always gives me a moment of clarity and perspective. Mostly because my mind isn't racing anymore. So why shouldn't we start up a Midnight Cycle Club?

lyrics

Middle of the night
It’s quiet outside
I'm riding for miles back
to where I like to lay down my head
Lay down my head

White stripes passing me by
Left, right, there have been steadier times
It’s been a long night
But we had fun alright
We had fun alright

And for a minute
I felt obliterated
My mind carefully gated
It ain't so complicated

I take my time
No cars no people passing by
City lights up the clouds through the sky
Far from the countryside

And for a minute
I felt obliterated
My mind carefully gated
It ain't so complicated

And while I stare
I have become quite aware
Even after many a beer
It’s a nice night out, out here

And for a minute
I felt obliterated
My mind carefully gated
I just looked and contemplated
Into the sky
Not afraid to die
I felt obliterated
