Ride
Mako Road Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk out the front door
I don't know what you said
We were lovers before
Now get it out of my head

Forget the facade
I don't care about designer dress
She thinks her life's hard
But I don't
No I don't

I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you

She said she wants more
So I pour us a drink
There's glass on the floor
I don't know what to think

Forget the facade
I don't care about designer dress
She thinks her life's hard
But I don't
No I don't





I wanna ride with you
I wanna ride with you

Overall Meaning

In Mako Road's song "Ride," we hear the story of two former lovers who have decided to hit the road together despite their complicated history. The opening line "Walk out the front door, I don't know what you said" implies that there has been some sort of disagreement or tension between the two. However, the main character wants to move past it and forget about it because he still has feelings for her. The lyric "We were lovers before, now get it out of my head" hints that he is trying to forget about their past and move forward.


The next verse is about how the main character does not care about the superficial aspects of life, such as designer dresses, which his former lover seems to care about. He is more focused on the present and wants to enjoy the ride with her. The repetition of "I wanna ride with you" emphasizes the desire to be with her despite their differences.


In the second half of the song, the main character and his former lover are drinking together and there is glass on the floor. This hints at the idea that they are both a little bit messy and chaotic, but it doesn't deter him from wanting to be with her. The bridge of the song features no lyrics, but instead, a catchy guitar riff which enhances the jovial and carefree mood of the song. Overall, "Ride" is a song about wanting to rekindle a love that existed before and enjoying the journey with someone despite the differences between them.
