Ride On
Dai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do I have the answer? I don't know
All I know is that I gonna get going
海岸の freeway 曖昧な signal
ネオン色の sunset time

Up and down side to side
Life is like a wave
It comes and goes and comes again

So just go with the flow
Inside-out day and night
Love is like a wave
It's never same and never stops
Ride with me

自由に揺れる波に
キーを合わせ set yourself so free
リズムに交わうように
身を委ね set yourself so free
That's how we ride
That's how we ride away
That's why we ride

静けさも雑踏も
この街の色気さ
立ち込めた苛立ちも
全て洗い流しな

Up and down side to side
Life is like a wave
It comes and goes and comes again
So just go with the flow
Inside-out day and night
Love is like a wave
It's never same and never stops
Ride with me

自由に揺れる波に
キーを合わせ set yourself so free
リズムに交わうように
身を委ね set yourself so free

The tides will rise and fall
月と太陽が (meet you at the place where's the way it's break time)
引き寄せ合う場所で
待ち合わせして
We can ride out!

You don't need no worry
Just ride and set yourself so free (so free)
リズムに交わうように
身を委ね set yourself so free
That's how we ride

That's how we ride away
That's why we ride

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Dai's song "Ride On" capture the essence of living life in the moment and enjoying the journey. The first verse opens with a sense of uncertainty, as the singer wonders if they have all the answers or not. However, they know without a doubt that they need to keep moving forward. They describe driving down the "freeway" along the coastline, with "neon-colored" sunset hues adding to the beauty of their surroundings.

The chorus talks about the ups and downs of life, comparing it to waves that come and go. The key to enjoying the ride is to go with the flow, accepting the unpredictable nature of love and day-to-day existence. The second verse continues the theme of embracing the present moment, as the singer describes the city's beauty and how it washes away any pent-up frustration or negativity.

The bridge reminds us of the cyclical nature of life and encourages us to ride out the highs and lows. The moon and sun coming together is a metaphor for finding harmony in the chaos of life.

Overall, "Ride On" encourages us to ride the waves of life, to embrace the present moment, and to find joy in the journey, rather than constantly seeking answers or stability.
