Take A Ride
Ivy Mono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

WOO!

Thought I heard the
Ocean in a shot glass
Maybe more like
Water from the sink tap

Thought our love was

Filling an arena
Head dizzy off a
Doubled up tequila

Thought I saw the
Future in a dream I
Must have had at least a thousand times

Thought I felt you
Hooked up on a feeling
On and on about this riddle in my mind

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

Thought I heard the
Orbit in your mattress
Maybe more like
Midnight acrobatics

Thought I saw you
Ringing in a new year
Handshaking off a
Broken half of a beer

Thought I saw this
Movie in a dream I
Must still have at least a thousand times

Thought I felt you
Confusing a feeling
Still going on about that riddle in my mind

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

And it's been fun together
Into the sun forever
Time has gone
And time has gone
Still time it moves the same

So yea

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

We can take a ride
If the boat won't sink
I know it will
But I know it will

WOO!

Overall Meaning

In "Take A Ride" by Ivy Mono, the lyrics depict a sense of uncertainty and anticipation in a relationship. The song opens with the line "Thought I heard the ocean in a shot glass, maybe more like water from the sink tap." Here, the singer's perception of love and the relationship is distorted, as if they are trying to find depth and meaning in something mundane or ordinary.

Throughout the song, the singer expresses their belief that their love can fill an arena, a grand and expansive space. However, they also acknowledge their intoxication, feeling dizzy from the effects of tequila. This suggests that their perception of the relationship may be influenced by external factors or substances that alter their judgment.

The lyrics continue with references to dreams and illusions. The singer mentions seeing the future in a dream they have had countless times, indicating their desire for clarity and foresight. They also mention feeling hooked on a feeling and being consumed by a riddle in their mind, suggesting that they are grappling with confusion and uncertainty in the relationship.

Ultimately, the chorus presents a contradictory statement: "We can take a ride if the boat won't sink, I know it will, but I know it will." This implies that the singer is willing to take a chance on the relationship despite their awareness that it may not work out. The repetition of this line emphasizes the conflicted emotions and uncertainty they feel.

Overall, "Take A Ride" explores the intricate nature of relationships, the fluctuation between hope and doubt, and the willingness to take risks even when the outcome is uncertain.
