Ride
Twenty One Pilots Lyrics

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
The singer wants to be in a happy place, like the sun.

I know it's hard sometimes
The singer acknowledges that life can be difficult.

Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
The singer finds moments of peace when surrounded by positivity.

Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
The artist spends too much time contemplating the future.

But it's fun to fantasize
Even though it may not be healthy, it can be entertaining to daydream.

All my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
The singer imagines their enemies being jealous of their identity or success.

Oh, oh I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride
The singer feels like they're losing control and want to slow down.

Taking my time on my ride
The artist wants to take things at their own pace.

I'd die for you That's easy to say
The artist claims they would make a sacrifice for someone else, but it may not be truthful.

A bullet for them A bullet for you A bullet for everybody in this room
The artist imagines protecting everyone in the room from harm.

But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through See many bullets coming through
Despite their desire to protect others, the singer has yet to face any real danger.

Metaphorically I'm the man But literally I don't know what I'd do
The artist may seem strong in theory, but isn't sure if they could handle a real challenge.

I'd live for you And that's hard to do Even harder to say When you know it's not true
The singer wishes they could love someone unconditionally, but knows it's difficult to do so.

Even harder to write When you know that tonight There are people back home which are talking to you But then you ignore them still
The singer feels guilty for not putting in enough effort to maintain relationships with loved ones.

All these questions they're forming like Who would you live for? Who would you die for? And would you ever kill?
The singer is struggling to understand their own values and priorities.

I've been thinking too much Help me
The artist is overwhelmed by their own thoughts and seeks assistance.
