About This Track

'Nightwalker' is a pop dance track built on rhythmic, addictive beats paired with subtle bass and guitar riffs. The song charts a narrative of irresistible attraction, its lyrics tracing the pull of a presence that overwhelms resistance. Ten's voice cuts through a powerful synth-driven chorus that tightens the emotional tension, whilst the production layers create an atmosphere of mounting inevitability. The track moves through cycles of surrender and defiance. Verses establish the speaker as caught between power and vulnerability, "walking the wire" between control and collapse. The chorus pivots to submission, its repeated invocation of a "beautiful monster" and the command to "bow down and pray" crystallising the song's central paradox: a compulsion dressed as devotion. Bridge and outro spiral inward, the nightmare acknowledged but desired, the heartbeat distorted by something the speaker has created but cannot escape.

"Nightwalker" is a track by TEN, from the album TEN, released 13th February 2024. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about TEN.

Lyrics

Nightwalker

[Verse 1]

Oh, nearing the hour

So I been waiting so long

Hiding my power

After the calm lies the storm

Been walking the wire

Don't even know just how close

I've come to the fire

Should better watch it, oh

[Refrain]

(Come, come, come)

Like waves in the ocean and

(Wrong, wrong, wrong)

Sway the emotions, too late (Slowly)

Already got me down low, low, low

No way to fight it

But you won't let me go

[Pre-Chorus]

Holy story

Rising from the shallow

Gonna face against the Devil

Higher fire

Look into the cold blue eyes

[Chorus]

Whеn the midnight comes

Pullin' the strings, bеautiful monster

Royalty energy, I am yours

Playin' my heart, ain't no way I'm pure

Bow down and pray to ya

Nightwalker

Pullin' the strings, beautiful monster

Royalty energy, I am yours

Playin' my heart, ain't no way I'm pure

Bow down and pray

[Verse 2]

Next on the hitlist, that's my name

Oh, that's the hunter, I'm the prey

You make me lose it, go insane

And I need prescription for the pain

[Refrain]

(Come, come, come)

Like waves in the ocean and

(Done, done, done)

Yeah, I just let it flow, no time to relieve

[Pre-Chorus]

Holy story

Rising from the shallow

Gonna face against the Devil

Higher fire

Rising from the ashes now

[Chorus]

When the midnight comes

Pullin' the strings, beautiful monster

Royalty energy, I am yours

Playin' my heart, ain't no way I'm pure

Bow down and pray to ya

[Bridge]

It's a nightmare, so persuasive

You shouldn't chase it, but I want it

I feel my heartbeat get distorted

It's a nightmare, I created

Like a disease haunting your dreams

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

Bow down and pray to ya

Ooh, ooh

Get down on my knees

And then the midnight falls

Nightwalker

Beautiful monster
