Ride on
AaRON (FR) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All as an army of clones
Sleeping, dreaming, under the influence
Sweet little boy
Drinking the world
Where are you going?
The bar clothes his shutter
In which way does your pretty chin
Sweet little girl
Drinking the world
You wish on stars sealed in the pavement
Because money can't buy the ones above us
You ride with sadness inside your jeans
Lost in some dreams that have the size of your TV screen
Don't you dare walk all over me
Don't forget that once you were free
You wish on stars sealed in the sidewalks
Because money can't buy the ones above us
You ride with sadness inside your jeans
Lost in some dreams that have the size of your TV screen
Don't forget that once you were free
Don't you dare walk all over me
The song Ride On by AaRON (FR) is a haunting tale of lost innocence and the search for meaning amidst the chaos of modern life. The opening lines describe a group of people wearing clothes like armor, marching together in a kind of mindless conformity. The singer, however, is different - a "sweet little boy" who drinks in the world around him with wonder and confusion.
As the song unfolds, we see the boy grow into a young man, and then a young woman. They are both searching for something, but they don't know what it is. The young woman is particularly lost, drinking and dreaming her way through life without any real direction. She wishes on stars, hoping that they will lead her to some kind of salvation.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of sadness and longing, as if the world is a place of great beauty and great pain, and the characters are caught between the two. The final lines are a plea for freedom and individuality, a reminder that we all have the power to break free from the constraints of society and pursue our dreams.
