Ride
Cary Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are everything I wanted
The scars of all I'll ever know

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride

You saw all my pieces broken
This darkness that I could never show

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride
And ride
And ride

If I told you you were right
Would you take my hand tonight?
If I told you the reasons why




Would you leave your life and ride?
And ride

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Cary Brothers's song "Ride" express the depth of the artist's emotions, as he longs for someone to accept and understand him completely. The opening lines, "You are everything I wanted, The scars of all I'll ever know," convey a deep sense of yearning for connection and companionship, while acknowledging the pain and struggle that have shaped the artist's life. The second part of the verse is an implicit question, as the artist wonders whether the person he is addressing would take his hand and join him on his journey if he were to open up and reveal his true feelings.


The pre-chorus of the song sets the tone for the message of the chorus, as the artist reflects on how the person he is addressing has seen him in his darkest moments and still accepts him. The chorus repeats the central question of the song, asking if the other person would be willing to leave their old life behind and go on a journey with the artist if he were to open his heart to them. The repeated refrain of "ride" is evocative of the freedom and release that the artist is seeking, as well as the sense of adventure and exploration that comes with taking a leap of faith.


Overall, "Ride" is a powerful anthem of emotional vulnerability and connection, urging its listeners to take risks and open themselves up to others, even in the face of uncertainty and fear.

So I see everyone commenting 2020 on this video. But who’s been listening since 2008??

@weswatson4616

Funny how comments years old will get replies on Youtube...makes me wonder who's still around to read them. Anyway, loved this song when it came out and forgot about for a decade and some random Instagram reel made me remember it 5 minutes ago.

Hopefully it's not another decade before I listen to it agsin.
