Ride
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark

Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
I look up to hear myself saying, baby
Too much I strive, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

Monologue:
I was in the winter of my life
And the men I met along the road were my only summer
At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them
Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me
And my only real happy times

I was a singer
Not a very popular one
I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet
But upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky
That I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken
But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is

When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing how I had been living, they asked me why, but there’s no use in talking to people who have a home
They have no idea what its like to seek safety in other people
For home to be wherever you lie your head

I was always an unusual girl
My mother told me that I had a chameleon soul
No moral compass pointing due north
No fixed personality
Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean
And if I said I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying

Because I was born to be the other woman
Who belonged to no one
Who belonged to everyone
Who had nothing
Who wanted everything
With a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about it
And pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me

It’s a metaphor for Borderline Personality Disorder

“No fixed personality.
Just an inner indecisiveness.
That was as wide and as wavering as the ocean”

So beautifully described. She has a disturbed identity. No real identity. Struggling to find one.

Her biggest desire and biggest fear is her man. Entering collapsed stages, trashing herself with men,

The guns at the end, pointing it at her head. Borderlines have one of the biggest tendencies for self harm and suicide.

“Who had nothing, yet wanted everything.
..who had no one, who beloned to everyone.”

Again, to have and not have at the same.

A pendullum swinging, how many scholars have described the inner landscape of the Borderline. The endless indecisiveness, emotional dysregulation, to want and not want at the same.

Entering into multiple self states.
Different states of being.
Struggling and fighting hard to find her identity. Instead dissociating into multiple self states. One of them being a secondary Psychopath. Factor 2 Psychopathy.

Understanding the Borderline woman.

“Dont leave me now, dont say goodbye
Dont turn around, to leave me high and dry.”

Abandonment anxiety. Her biggest fear is to be abandoned. She pre-emptively abandons her partner and punishes him by trashing herself with other men. Self mutilating, and entering into different self-states, shedding her skin like a snake between each one.

A singer
A poet
A street walker
An unusual girl
A native indian

All she wants is to be free.

The Borderline Narrative:

“Let me go, give me life.”

I've been out on that open road
You can be my full time, daddy white and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full time, baby
Hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road doves do it, ride 'til dark
Don't leave me now
Don't say good bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone in the night
Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind
I just ride
Just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
I look up to hear myself saying, baby
Too much I strive, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast

Been tryin' hard not to get in trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind

Just ride, I just ride, I just ride

Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long

Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride

Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art

I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride

I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride

I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, I just ride

[Spoken ending:]
Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people, and finally I did on the open road.
We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of art.
Live fast. Die young. Be wild. And have fun.
I believe in the country America used to be.
I believe in the person I want to become.
I believe in the freedom of the open road.
And my motto is the same as ever:
"I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I'm at war with myself I ride, I just ride."
Who are you?
Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?
Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?
I have. I am fucking crazy.
But I am free .....

8 YEARS and I'm still not over this song, I never will. No words can describe the emotions it makes me feel. Maybe because I've always romanticized that "riding free" lifestyle as well, and fantasized about finding my people... people that I would really bond with and go on an open road adventure, having fun, feeling timeless, wild and free, and feeling home.

This song has saved my life, literally. First time I heard it was back in 2012 when I was 7. I've had a pretty rough childhood and I begun developing depression and social anxiety at an early age. This song, is my happy place; my hope for a better life. There isn't a single day where I don't listen to this song. I feel alive, I feel free, it feels as if all my problems vanish into thin air every single time I play this song. I am 15 now, my mental health has gotten much worse but when I play this at max volume I am totally fine. Lana, I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank you enough. Your music is the only thing that has kept me going these years. Thank you a million times. Your voice makes me feel okay when I'm totally not okay.

Charlotte Berrycloth

Don't feel embarassed of asking for help if you need it, tell someone about all what you are feeling, tell a teacher in school, they have to understand you. Please, I know that sometimes life is cruel but it's worth it, I support you. You and your whole existence matters, it will be okay.

Melyssa Revilla

Hey, not so much of a stranger, I dont know what is going on in your life but I had a tumultuous teenagehood too. Not abusive, just tumultuous. I'm 28 now and I can tell you this: it gets better. I used to cut myself, pull my hair, would get into aggressive fights with my mom where I would be the one receiving the punches, had (still have some) social anxiety, and was ultra shy. I'm not trying to make this about me, but I want to share with you that 15 years old me was also hopeless and going through major shit. Teenagehood is bad for most people, even for those who seem to have their shit together. You have a better relationship with yourself later in life, but the only way to achieve it is by forgiving yourself. The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself, treat yourself with some more patience. You don't need to be perfect and it is okay to not reach a milestone. It can be said to put effort into something and not making it happen, but you can transform that and any failure into gasoline to fuel your spirit. If you fail, you can learn from that failure. If you let yourself fall into depression, you will get stuck. Your enemy is on your shoulders, make peace with yourself so you find an ally in you.

Yes, your grades disappointed you, but let me tell you this: those numbers do not determine your future. School is not a perfect system. I was a creative kid, I sucked at maths, physics, I have a terrible memory so I would also do terribly in exams that needed me to remember concepts, I got okay grades at the end and entered a university. I was so dumb I chose Economics... me who could not even count money without feeling a headache. My university was 2 hours away when I used to walk 5 minutes just to arrive at my high school. In Perú people don't move away for college, so I had to spend 4 hours going and coming from school. At 23 I finally decided to change my career, without my mom's support, and entered to Publicity to a closer school. I found my thing, I'm creative and need to express myself. I'm 28 and have not yet finished Publicity because I had issued during the pandemic. That's the downside but I learned to celebrate my little and big accomplishments. I'm working as a freelance Spanish teacher (on Italki, you can work there too as an English teacher) and writer (on Upwork, also a freelancer site), winning more than my already graduated friends. I have a job during these tough days and I'm earning way more than the average Peruvian. I'm happier, moving at my own rhythm. Nothing is perfect but I don't feel like a disappointment to myself anymore.

It takes time to change the way you react to things and process them, but you can do it. One thing that can help is being mindful of your body. When I'm about to guilt-trip myself, have a panic attack, be anxious, or just experience a negative feeling, I tend to feel very, very hot. Like my inner skin is boiling and it makes it hard to breathe and accelerates my heart. I get aware of fast and breath. I breathe and tell myself I'm having a bad experience I can overcome. I think about the positive things in my life. I focus on that, almost funnel vision. Little by little, reminding myself about the real consequences of things helps me to understand I'm not in danger and I did not do anything bad that can't be fixed. You can learn to improve the way you process and react to things too, but it requires effort. You can put that effort, invest in yourself at an early age, in your personal development.

You should read On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Much of her monologue was plagiarized. Most people would have realized this if they were familiar with his work. Sorry, but there was someone else like her many years ago.

Nothing can ever top this. No song, no artist, not even Lana herself with another track. This song was so epic, so raw, so dreamy that it made a whole generation appreciate life just a tiny bit more and get a glimpse of what true freedom feels like. Every time I come back to this song I realize that I need to do everything it takes to be able to say one day..."I'm fucking crazy,but I'm free" and mean it.

So, yeah this is a great song. Beautiful poem. Made me cry a few times too. Got the tattoo. But as a recovering drug addict, that went through all the shit she describes in the poem, please, please do not make your goal in life to be “fucking crazy and free.”
Don’t take it the wrong way, but crazy is not a compliment. Crazy is not quirky and what most of you are thinking of when you think crazy is Harley Quinn crazy or really random. Crazy is bad. Mental disorders are not cool. They fucking suck. And if you’re on drugs now, well, look at you, crazy and free... lemme know how it works out for you.

Trigger warning: suicide/ self harm

Ive come back to this video countless times over the past two years. Over those two years i have been really battling with depression and self harm. My friend and I were talking about this song and the monologue. We were talking about how much peace this video brings us. Only when im watching this video do i not want to hurt myself anymore. Lana has no idea how many times she has saved my life and how many other people’s lives she has saved. I wouldnt be here without her music. When i don’t know how i can exist on this planet any longer, i turn on this video, or listen to any of her songs, and i realize that i can stay here for a little bit longer.

Go and seek dark fantasies and see where they lead you. Dark fantasies are alluring and may seem like fun, but when you go towards committing them, they stay on your conscience forever. save yourself the trouble, and dont let them get written in your soul. if you think dark fantasies are fun and cool your deceived.

might not want to put living humans on a pedestal too high, they feel, break and come back together as we all do, the power is in all of us, if you woke up today alive you are spontaneous and free, this world wants us all dead, no one is going to get out of this game alive, even the rich and the beautiful, do not forget your own humanity and power, don't believe the cultural and societal programming it is all false.

Lana Del Rey is so unappreciated. She gets so much hate on her music because people accuse her of sending the wrong message to her young fans especially the girls, but really she's just a Women singing from her heart about how she feels. Being completely honest in her songs because it's probably the only time she can be.
I just had a 40 minute break down over my own messy life and then I put this song on and I felt peace. That's something.

This is the freedom I’ve always craved. I first listened to this at 13/14 and it served as an escape from my household problems and the really sucky feelings from middle school. I bought the ‘Born To Die: Paradise Edition’ CD and I’d play it in my parent’s room anytime I had a chance alone. But I’d come to this video to enjoy the beautiful monologue. I’m 22 now and this song is still as meaningful when I listen back. Everything about this video is a masterpiece, nothing compares. Definitely one of Lana’s best work, she will be remembered for it!!
If anyone is still reading, take it as a sign to chase after your dreams. I’m not there yet either but one day we need to be able to say we are free ❤️
