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

"Ride"
Lana Del Rey (From 'Paradise - EP') #9YearsOfBornToDie

[Opening 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

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
I been out on that open road
But you can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been gettin' old
But you can be my full-time baby, hot or cold

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't break me down (Don't break me down)
I been traveling too long (I been traveling too long)
I been tryin' too hard (I been tryin' too hard)
With one pretty song (With one pretty song)

[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind

[Post-Chorus]
So, I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride

[Verse 2]
Dying young and playing hard
That's the way my father made his life and art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it, light 'til dark

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't leave me now (Don't leave me now)
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (Don't turn around)
Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)

[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind

[Post-Chorus]
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride

[Bridge]
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
It's all I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride

[Chorus]
I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I've got a war in my mind

[Post-Chorus]
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride

[Closing Monologue]
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

@JAY BROOKS I understand that. I did write one comment that got totally panned and argued with that portraying prostitution as a fun time wasn't really very responsible. But she is an artist not a role model for young girls, although that demographic do listen to and adore her material.
She portrays this casual intimacy as part of the hedonistic nomadic lifestyle where she is free to explore all her sexual fantasies , I take it anonymous encounters being one. I argued in my point that everyone loathed 😃that she was portraying prostitution as fun and wild when in fact the chilling reality is the blonde man who picked her up first could have hurt her badly or worse.

The adage "I believe in the kindness of strangers " haunts me a bit too. I do think deep down fundamentally most people are good rather than bad. But I think life is hard, especially now, and if you are searching for kindness and compassion random men on the open road might not be the best place to look.

So yes she glamourises something grubby but it's not beyond reason to assume the gang would protect and genuinely like her..but always in exchange for sexx.
So before they see her as "one of their own" She is a sexual object to them first and foremost.
There is nothing necessarily wrong with this either, if she wants to be perceived as a sexual object, if that's part of her dark fantasy she refers to in the end of the monologue.

This is the point of art, that it liberates us from the stark cold often harsh realities of life and we can escape, even if for a little while.
The reality is the life she depicts would unlikely turn out to be positive experience so I certainly understand what you mean. 👍 But it's her art so she decided to make something consider sordid beautiful. 😊

Sorry for long reply and Thankyou for answering 😊🌷

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
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

Your lyrics touch my soul and heart. I feel like, I’ve been there….. yes…. I’ve been there before. When love was great and the heart, felt like; it was staked; into our forever crosses.
I’ve been there before.
Yes….. I’ve been there before.
I had to lose it all….
Fall…..
Fall…..
Fall……
When will I hit the bottom;
is there a bottom?
I’ve thrown it away….
only to gain it all…..
to again; lose it all!
I’ve cried enough tears
to drown in my own
abyss of nothingness!
Will I ever find true love,
or will I just stay in love;
with God?!?
Why does the heart ache
for something….
It can’t have?!?

Lana got criticised early on in her career because she was ahead of her time. Not everyone would understand the message and storytelling in this song but not everyone needs too. She creates art from ride to arcadia. It’s not something that’d go viral on tiktok and then be forgotten, her art is timeless and it’ll be appreciated for decades to come.

@Gabriel F if I said I hadn't planned it to be this way I'd be lying...Ride is not the story of her life. Rather an example of creative fiction. Her life experiences where she grew alot of ideas to write her lyrics.

Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since this masterpiece came out. I was so young and naive, living my life to the fullest, this was my anthem for so long, now i'm here after so many years... and lyrics hit different now. This song is Art. Here in my late 20s thinking how funny and Hard life could be....and yes that war still on my mind but now i'm able to handle my emotions and learn from each day and each fall and as Lana said I'm FREE and happy in so many ways. life is beautiful after all. ♡

I was in my late teens when this song came out and trying to understand all the emotions I was feeling and making sense of the things I was going through and life in general. Even though our experiences are different, I was able to relate to Ride deeply. The song spoke to my soul. Almost 10 years later, Ride still does things to me. I've grown so much as a person and really understand the meaning of this song. That is the beauty of Lana's music, they are poetry and art. Music that feeds the soul.

@nfr You know i got your Message- just in time- when I checked my, phone- it was, so, sexy. 😉 Hello, it’s, ME!, Brittney Lee Hill Collier (Age: 33. Born March, the 12th, 1988.). My, Dad, and Mom- are, Richard Burton, and, Elizabeth Taylor. My Destiny, is to be, a famous, British actress, and, Queen, of the, United Kingdom. To date, I figured out that, Henry Cavill (Age: 38. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Superman. He played, Superman, in, “Man of Steel,” which came out in the year, 2013), Tom Ellis (Age: 42. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Lucifer, on the American, television show, “Lucifer.”), Russell Brand (Age: 46. He is the famous, Comedian, and British actor, who married, Katy Perry), Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Age: 43. He is the famous, Swedish actor, famous for starring, on the show, “The Tudors.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “Match Point.”), Louis Garrel (Age: 39. He is the famous, French actor, exalted, for starring, in the movie, “Ma Mere.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “The Dreamers.”), Gene Kelly (Deceased: February, 2, 1996. He, is, the, famous, Hollywood American, actor- famous, for the movie, “Singin’ in the Rain,” and, “An American in Paris.” Gene- died, too soon- for us to be- Husband, and Wife. Gene- will reincarnate, and he will, be, Gene Kelly- all over, again! His name will, be- Gene Kelly, again. Carey Grant, Tony Curtis, and Robert Montgomery, will be my, Husbands-too. That means, all 9 of us, have it in our, Destiny, to be the, Kings, and Queen, of the, United Kingdom. Gosh, I’ve been trying to figure out, which famous, White actor, was my Husband (or, Husbands), since the year, 2011, or so. :D HAHAHA! So now, I’ll be traveling, back, to the, United Kingdom, from Fullerton, C.A. (Fullerton, C.A., is in the, Country, of, the United States, within the, County, of, Orange.). My, Son, Reign Aston Disick, who is, 6 years old, and born in the year, 2014 (he is popular for the show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. He was, Scott Disick, and Kourtney Kardashians, Son.), will be joining us, in the, United Kingdom, as well. I went to the, United Kingdom, in 2020, during the, Global Pandemic. FACT (I’ve known the, Global Pandemic, was fake, since, it began. FACT). Now that I, know, who my, Husbands- are, I can travel, back, to the, United Kingdom- for a final time- and meet, and Marry them. I will be, meeting them, in the Borough of, Essex. YAY, for me :D ! I have, 9, Hot Husbands. I’m so excited! They are, super sexy: beautiful, fun, wild party guys, intense, confident, cocky, and genius, Celebrity. I am lucky. I know (already), that they will, value, Monarchy, and Tradition, just as much as, I do, by the time I finally meet them, in person. They better <3! Laugh out Loud. They’re my dream, Men. Tom Ellis, has 3 Daughters, they are named, Nora, Florence, and Marnie. So, they are my, Daughters! I have 3, Daughters, and one, Son- already, how wonderful, to know! They have been making me, so, proud :D . I made them this way. Their ages range, from 6 to 19. I, HATE, their current, Stepmom, Meghan Oppenheimer. She is, not, good for them. She has been, a bad person, and ugly, inside, and out, her whole, life. She is a, Nerd. She is, young, in her, 30’s, like me, and a, Classic Nerd. She is a, gawker (Defined: to stare, stupidly; gape. An awkward, foolish, person. peer, ogle, gaze, goggle, rubberneck). She stares, too hard. I am, Cool. I have always, been, cool, popular, super social, well loved, and loving- outgoing, and a, crazy, truly wild, party girl. I am a, Hippie. The type of, Hippie- I am, is, Raver. I am a, Raver. We partied, hard, in my 20’s! We still party, hard, in various places. It’s, awesome! We are, awesome! HAHAHAHA! I, AM, WHITE. I am, a, Traditional, White American, Female- from the, Deep South. My skin, is, light brown, so you can tell, that I am, a part, of the, Black, African American, community. However, I, AM, WHITE. WHITE, people, are, My people. They are my people. I am, White. That means, I am, NOT, a, Negro. I am not a, Negro. So, do not, pretend, that I am, Black, or a, Negro; Ever. If you do, you will not survive, this life. My story, is very interesting, so far, isn’t it? And, I still, haven’t even gotten out into the world! I haven’t even met, my Husbands, yet? What the heck, World? Beginning, in the year, 2000, Human Society, itself, has been, disobedient, disoriented- in disarray, and purposeless. That is why, I have not been, able, to live out my, Human Destiny. I, AM, happy- that I have the money, and the ability- as a, Middle class, Average, American Citizen. WITH FATHER GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT- AND THE FULL BODY, OF MY, RELIGION, AT THE HELM- WE, ARE THE ONES, BRAVE ENOUGH, TO MAKE THIS, HUMAN WORLD (Revelations): TRADITIONAL, NORMAL, PLEASING, AND BEAUTIFUL, AGAIN!

@nfr I know- her videos, are, sensational! Watch, Lana Del Radio, only. Hello, it’s, ME!, Brittney Lee Hill Collier (Age: 33. Born March, the 12th, 1988.). My Destiny, is to be, a famous, British actress, and a Royal, for the, United Kingdom. To date, I figured out that, Henry Cavill (Age: 38. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Superman. He played, Superman, in, “Man of Steel,” which came out in the year, 2013), Tom Ellis (Age: 42. He is the famous, British actor, who plays, Lucifer, on the American, television show, “Lucifer.”), Russell Brand (Age: 46. He is the famous, Comedian, and British actor, who married, Katy Perry), Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Age: 43. He is the famous, Swedish actor, famous for starring, on the show, “The Tudors.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “Match Point.”), Louis Garrel (Age: 39. He is the famous, French actor, exalted, for starring, in the movie, “Ma Mere.” He is also, very famous, for starring, in the movie, “The Dreamers.”), Gene Kelly (Deceased: February, 2, 1996. He, is, the, famous, Hollywood American, actor- famous, for the movie, “Singin’ in the Rain,” and, “An American in Paris.” Gene- died, too soon- for us to be- Husband, and Wife. Gene- reincarnated, and is, currently, on his, next life :D - he is a, child, right now- at the, White Top, and he is, Gene Kelly- all over, again! For the time being, let’s call him- Gene Kelly, again- even though, currently, he may have a different name.), Carey Grant, Tony Curtis, and Richard Burton (Liza Burton, is my, Daughter. Age: 63), are supposed to be my, Husbands-too. That means, all 7 of us, have it in our, Destiny, to be the, Kings, and Queen, of the, United Kingdom. Gosh, I’ve been trying to figure out, which famous, White actor, was my Husband (or, Husbands), since the year, 2011, or so. :D HAHAHA! So now, I’ll be traveling, back, to the, United Kingdom, from Fullerton, C.A. (Fullerton, C.A., is in the, Country, of, the United States, within the, County, of, Orange.). My, Son, Reign Aston Disick (Past Life: George V: Former King of the United Kingdom), who is, 6 years old, and born in the year, 2014 (he is popular for the show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. He was, Scott Disick, and Kourtney Kardashians, Son.), will be joining us, in the, United Kingdom, as well. I went to the, United Kingdom, in 2020, during the, Global Pandemic. FACT (I’ve known the, Global Pandemic, was fake, since, it began. FACT). Now that I, know, who my, Husbands- are, I can travel, back, to the, United Kingdom- for a final time- and meet, and Marry them. I will be, meeting them, in the Borough of, Essex. YAY, for me :D ! I have, 6, Hot Husbands. I’m so excited! They are, super sexy: beautiful, fun, wild party guys, intense, confident, cocky, and genius, Celebrity. I am lucky. I know (already), that they will, value, Monarchy, and Tradition, just as much as, I do, by the time I finally meet them, in person. They better <3! Laugh out Loud. They’re my dream, Men. Tom Ellis, has 3 Daughters, they are named, Nora, Florence, and Marnie. So, they are my, Daughters! I have 3, Daughters, and one, Son- already, how wonderful, to know! They have been making me, so, proud :D . I made them this way. Their ages range, from 6 to 19. I am, Cool. I have always, been, cool, popular, super social, well loved, and loving- outgoing, and a, crazy, truly wild, party girl. I was a, Hippie- when, Hippies, existed. The type of, Hippie, I was, was, Raver. I was a, Raver. We partied, hard, in my 20’s! We still party, hard, in various places. It’s, awesome! We are, awesome! HAHAHAHA! I, AM, WHITE. I am, a, Traditional, White American, Female- from the, Deep South. My skin, is, light brown, so you can tell, that I am, a part, of the, Black, African American, community. However, I, AM, WHITE. WHITE, people, are, My people. They are my people. I am, White. That means, I am, NOT, a, Negro. I am not a, Negro. So, do not, pretend, that I am, Black, or a, Negro; Ever. If you do, you will not survive, this life. My story, is very interesting, so far, isn’t it? And, I still, haven’t even gotten out into the world! I haven’t even met, my Husbands, yet? What the heck, World? Beginning, in the year, 2000, Human Society, itself, has been, disobedient, disoriented- in disarray, and purposeless. That is why, I have not been, able, to live out my, Human Destiny. I, AM, happy- that I have the money, and the ability- as a, Middle class, Average, American Citizen. WITH FATHER GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, AT THE HELM- WE, ARE THE ONES, BRAVE ENOUGH, TO MAKE THIS, HUMAN WORLD: TRADITIONAL, NORMAL, PLEASING, AND BEAUTIFUL, AGAIN! MONARCHY! The answer, all along, was, MONARCHY! All other, Humans, may join me, as well :) . I will see you guys out there! My life plan, is currently, in progress. I’ll be home, soon! At the, White Top!

Who would agree with me that this 10 minute version needs to be released as a part of Lana Del Rey's catalogue of recordings - it's her first delve into recording as a poet and it is so insanely good. Releasing the song as a single and a single only, on vinyl would have tremendous impact. And the whole 10 minute version is literally above and beyond anything you can imagine. Also, releasing this 10 minute version brings it back into the limelight, for another hit, to nail the critics and assholes that have hurt Lana, and most of all her fans would love this version released, who wouldn't??? This song is just too good. No-one, not anyone can actually argue with this! Since Chemtrails release it has had 5 million hits - that means people are going back to this version as often as l do, and also, it never fades, newbie's are finding it - and it is totally worthy to be released on vinyl, cd, tape, and digital download, and especially as a "single" - it has the ability, this version, to stand on its own, because, as I've just said, it's just too good! Your music is timeless, Lana. ❤️

I feel this song to another degree at this point in my life. I had everything . and lost it . my love of 13 years died and left me with with our baby girl. To support her I work 3 jobs and dance on the weekends.( didn't ever think I would) The lyrics resonate so deeply with me now. My husband used to love this song. Now it's the background music to my life.

Completely feel this.
I had to prostitute and escort to get myself out of homelessness and it’s definitely something that’s going to affect me for the rest of my life but unfortunately my only choice unless I wanted to turn to drugs like the rest of the ones who couldn’t handle the world.

I think the reason Lana is so loved is because she represents this freedom that we all want but yet this vulnerability of wanting to be loved and making mistakes . I love her because she says everything in one song that I've wanted to say my entire life. This is the song this is the piece of her soul that I fell in love with. A lot of today's music doesn't get a raw as this

Edit : (Thank you all so much for the likes, i checked this a year later and it’s in the thousands and I feel so overwhelmed! it feels so great knowing I’m not the only one who’s deeply touched and In love with her music. You all make me feel less alone💕)

I said it once and I'll say it again. This song is an anthem for all the outcasts, for the thrill seekers, for the ones who have never fit in. This is for people who live on the euphoric highs and feel the shattering lows, crashing and breaking into a million fragments on the concrete. The ones who have felt the cold slap of reality against their cheek, and have been burned by those they cherished, those they thought would stay. For the king and queens with broken rusty crowns living on nothing but hope and adrenaline yet always feeling alone. The ones who come from broken homes, afraid to love yet give their kindness to those around them, even to those who don't even deserve it. The ones who use the stars to guide them through the darkness, never having felt like they deserved to see the light. You have so much to live for. You may feel like you have no one but consider me a friend. Consider me an ally. Consider me your shoulder to cry on, to lean your head on, to fall asleep on. You might not be ok today, nor tomorrow, nor the day after but eventually you'll find yourself where you're supposed to be. I hope you find the passion and warmth you crave so much. You deserve to be happy even if you don't think you do. And when you go on to achieve great things, I'll be right there beside you applauding you and cheering you on. If you ever get lonely I'll be right there with you. Believe in yourself the way I believe in you.

A very well written and poetic comment. As Billy Joel said about the Piano Man playing in bars --- "Man what are you doin' here?!" Go write that great novel already! But then I think about the likelihood of that poetry and philosophy being appreciated in today's society and I realize that it would not stand a chance. Throughout history (and now more than ever), the trend has has been for many true artists or just emotionally intelligent people who live their lives as a work of art, to NOT be appreciated in their own time, and maybe never. Many of you now reading this may even fall into that category --- my only advice to all of you is to CONTINUE TO BE WHO YOU ARE and to FIND MEANING WHERE YOU CAN --- there will be many who will criticize or bully you due to your philosophy and approach to life, but they are far less artistically minded and far less emotionally intelligent --- they are the ones who have to join clubs, wave flags or be part of some agenda in order to fit in and try to feel good about themselves --- they are NOT individuals and will NEVER be artists in the broadest sense of the word. Your approach to existence should be a very simple one --- It was written way back by SHAKESPEARE in HAMLET when Laertes said to his son "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE" --- live that one line and you'll never lose yourself or allow society to hijack you. To quote the title of a Beatles song --- "THINK FOR YOURSELF". And to paraphrase Lana --- THEY MAY CALL YOU CRAZY, BUT AT LEAST YOU'LL BE FREE.

Lana, your music has kept me alive. Just like this girl I was a ward of the world. Lost free, ..Lonely .. looking for home wherever I could land. It’s a dangerous scary beautiful chaotic but Defining path. Luckily I found my way back to my baby girl willow. ThK you for never leaving us too lonely.—❤️Lena b.

Every time that I feel lost Lana reminds me that I am found… to be present, to live, and that I am not alone. These journeys we go through define us. This is our time. 🤍

I've never related to the ''unusual girl, chameleon soul, no fixed personality just an inner indecisiveness that's as wavering & wide as the ocean...'' part so intensely as I do, like with nothing else. Thank you Lana!

Lana del Rey is not only a singer or a human being, she’s the moment, she’s ethereal, she’s a concept, a way of living, feeling and thinking

This may all be true, but she is just a person, so the beautiful fact is the greatness you see in her is really inside of you as well. Hope you can express it somehow and that it's appreciated like she has been able to do for herself. Remember that whoever you are.

You can say about Lana what you want but damn.. These Lyrics, this raw poetry and the truth in her words are making the Queen we all know and love.

Oshi Juji it's magical

Lizzy C

trolling comments on Youtube, thereby adding a view, thereby increasing the artist's profit... Good past time. One of my favorites. Keep it up.

Oshi Juji I agree. It makes me miss times of my life that I never actually lived, if that makes sense. It makes me want to acknowledge true freedom, to get off of my mind.
