Ride
02. BT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We walked the earth
Before the dawn of man
Nevermore shall mankind live,
For we shalt rule these lands

Forgotten shall the mortals be,
The strong alone shall stand
We are the superiors,

The demigods of the earth

[Chorus]
Mortal be silent! Hark as we speak!
(Alas, you still walk earth)
Gather around us - fall to the ground
You are the child of the bastard son
[repeat chorus]
We ride the whore
We tramp upon the saviour of thine
We are those Gods left behind
[repeat chorus 2]

Thou art not worthy to walk the
Land that was granted to thee
Spawn of the throne from those
Who gave birth to the bastard son
Walk my path...

I'll lead you to salvation
An open grave...
For those who descent
From the virgin whore

Ride the whore in lust,
And see the angels in disgust

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 02. BT's song ride is a portrayal of power and control. The opening lines suggest a time when a superior force existed on earth, even before the dawn of humanity. The chorus of the song emphasizes the superiority of this force and how mortals should fall to the ground when they speak. The lyrics suggest that the world is no longer fit for mortals, and the strong ones shall stand. This idea of superiority and power is further emphasized in the line "We are the superiors, the demigods of the earth." This image brings to mind Greek and Roman mythology, where demigods were believed to possess special powers and abilities, which mortals could only dream of possessing.

The lyrics also depict cruelty and ruthlessness, with lines like "We tramp upon the savior of thine" and "Ride the whore in lust, and see the angels in disgust." These lines suggest that the superior force sees itself as above all morality, and it can do whatever it wants without any consequences. This view of power and control represents a darker side, where domination and immorality are celebrated.

The final lines suggest that the superior force provides salvation, which is ironic given the darker tone of the song. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but one can see the desire for power and domination at its core.
