Avantasia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeing things I shouldn?t see
New eyes I got to find
Mars Venus and stars shaking
Their heads at me
No more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky
Hey world look out I'm coming
Friends pass me by and you saw me humming
Mars Venus and stars shaking
Their heads at me
No more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky
Tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky
The smile on his face turn me to stone
The words that he spoke
Wouldn't leave me alone
Mars Venus and stars
Shaking their heads at me
No more todays tonight I'll be riding the sky
Tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky,
Tonight ride the sky
Tonight ride the sky
The lyrics of "Ride the Sky" by Avantasia draw the listeners' attention to the theme of exploration and the thirst for adventure. The song is about a traveler who is on a journey to explore the unknown, leaving everything behind to go on an adventure across different planets and stars. The traveler sees things that he shouldn't see and is looking for new experiences, new eyes to see the world. He is fascinated by the stars, Mars, and Venus, which are shaking their heads at him, possibly in disbelief that he is on this daring quest. The traveler has decided to leave behind the mundane reality of life and embrace the excitement that awaits him in the unknown.
As the lyrics progress, the traveler is more confident, and he is coming for the world. His friends pass him by, and he is humming, enjoying his journey. He encounters someone, and the smile on his face turns him to stone, and the words that he speaks would not leave him alone. The stars, Mars, and Venus are again shaking their heads at him, but the traveler has already made up his mind; no more todays, tonight he'll be riding the sky. The chorus "Tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky" is repeated to emphasize the excitement and adventure that lies ahead, with the traveler's obvious eagerness to embark on this journey.
