Ticket To Ride
Kawala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That carry me so far away
The freedom now
Forever I'll be bound
Dream of the south
Oh, where the sun's so paramount
To the seasons
I'll spend my time here now
They play like silent movies only you can see
You shelter them and keep them rolling onwards
Won't you ever let them go
But tell me at what cost
I'll find the ticket to ride
I've been waiting for the perfect time
Sometimes with a look in my eyes
I'll be gliding through these dreams of mine
When's right to step out of line
I've been waiting, waiting to see you perform
I'll find my ticket to ride
Leaving the ground
To carry on this warm embrace
I'm deep in now
Sanctuary found
Thoughts unavowed
Washing in like ocean waves
So let me drown
No, never let me down
They play like silent movies only you can see
You shelter them and keep them rolling onwards
Won't you ever let them go
But tell me at what cost
I'll find the ticket to ride
I've been waiting for the perfect time
Sometimes with a look in my eyes
I'll be gliding through these hopeless dreams of mine
When's right to step out of line
I've been waiting, waiting to see you perform
I'll find my ticket to ride
All I wanted to find is a place that I call paradise
Oh my, I look at the signs and I pray
Just lead me away from here
The walls they fall away
I fall awake
I never want to lose this state of mind
It's mine, and I'll
Never let it go
But tell me at what cost
I'll find the ticket to ride
I've been waiting for the perfect time
Sometimes with a look in my eyes
I'll be gliding through these hopeless dreams of mine
When's right to step out of line
I've been waiting, waiting to see you perform
I'll find my ticket to ride
The lyrics to "Ticket to Ride" by Kawala speak of a desire to escape a mundane reality and find a place of peace and freedom. The singer dreams of sounds that take them away to the south where the sun is paramount and they can spend their time in sanctuary. The music that accompanies these dreams feels like silent movies, only the singer can see them, and they are reluctant to let go of this world that they have created for themselves. However, the singer knows that they must find a way to step out of line and find their ticket to ride, their key to freedom.
The song speaks to the human desire for adventure and a life full of meaning. The singer wants to escape the grind of everyday life and find a place of beauty and inspiration. The idea of a ticket to ride suggests a journey, a departure from the familiar, and a chance to experience something new. The lyrics suggest that this journey may not be easy, that there may be a cost involved, but the singer is willing to take the risk for the chance at a better life.

I am seeking a utopia of music
Oh my, I look at the signs and I pray
I observe the indications of musical opportunity and pray for guidance
Just lead me away from here
Guide me to a place of musical growth
The walls they fall away
My musical boundaries come crumbling down
I fall awake
I awaken to the power of music
I never want to lose this state of mind
I never want to lose my musical perspective
It's mine, and I'll
My musical aspirations are mine
Never let it go
I vow to never give up on music
But tell me at what cost
At what cost will my musical aspirations endure?
