Ride
Dylan Gardner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We found the color, the night never felt so young
And it's time, are you ready?
For the moment to show itself
'Cause tonight we're escaping
Yeah we're going somewhere I can't tell
Under the downtown lights
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride?
I wanna fall in love like a careless stranger
Under the moonlight eyes
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride?
'Cause we found a secret hidden in the words we speak
We didn't know that love was always at our feet
And it's time, are you ready
Though we hardly even know ourselves
Here at night, I can feel it
Yeah we're going somewhere I can't tell
I wanna fall in love, head over heels
Under the downtown lights
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride?
I wanna fall in love like a careless stranger
Under the moonlight eyes
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride? Take a ride
Why don't we take a ride? Take a ride
I wanna fall, wanna fall, wanna fall in
Ooh, I wanna fall, wanna fall, wanna fall in
I wanna fall in love, head over heels
Under the downtown lights
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride?
I wanna fall in love like a careless stranger
Under the moonlight eyes
'Cause we don't have to know where this road is going
Why don't we take a ride? Here tonight
Why don't we take a ride? Here tonight
The lyrics of Dylan Gardner's song Ride portray a sense of adventure and falling in love with the unknown. The song begins with the discovery of an answer under the setting sun and the finding of colors that make the night feel young. The singer is then prompted to ask if the listener is ready for the moment to reveal itself, as they are both escaping somewhere they cannot tell. This leads into the chorus where the singer expresses a desire to fall in love head over heels under the downtown lights, not knowing where the road is going but suggesting to take a ride.
The second verse deepens the conversation with the discovery of a hidden secret in the words they speak. They did not realize that love has always been at their feet. The singer suggests that they hardly know themselves but can feel something happening here at night. The song concludes as it begins, with the chorus bringing forward a sense of longing to fall in love like careless strangers under the moonlight eyes.
Ride may be interpreted as a song that expresses a need for adventure and love in one's life. The song suggests that by taking risks, stepping out of one's comfort zone, and exploring the unknown, one can find love and open themselves up to new opportunities. The song also encourages the listener to let go and experience the moment, to embrace the journey and see where it takes them.
