The Ritual
Michael S. Yelland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do the ritual
Because it's always been like that
Gotta keep it all intact
Let's do the ritual into the night
Let's do the ritual
Do the ritual
cny time I hear you say
Let's do the ritual into the night
Every day I feel a little more lonely
I get a feeling like it's starting to own me
It brings me love, then it gives me fire
It brings me down, then it lifts me higher
It lifts me higher..
Do the ritual
Do the ritual
It doesn't matter what you know
It doesn't matter where you go
We'll do the ritual into the night
Let's do the ritual
cnd every time I feel you slipping away
I wish that there was something more I could say
cnd now you think that I'm one of the liars
cnd how I hide my true desire
My true desire
Every day I feel a little more lonely
I get a feeling like it's starting to own me
It brings me love, then it gives me fire
It brings me down, then it lifts me higher
It lifts me higher..
"The Ritual" by Michael S. Yelland explores the idea of routine and tradition, specifically in the context of a relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Do the ritual" suggests that the couple has fallen into a pattern of behaviors and actions that have become ingrained in their daily lives. They feel compelled to continue these rituals because they fear losing the stability and familiarity they provide.
The lyrics also express a sense of longing and loneliness. The singer feels a growing emptiness, as if their life is starting to possess them. They experience a cycle of ups and downs, where the ritual brings both love and fire but also brings them down. Despite the uncertainty and mixed emotions, they still have a desire to continue the ritual, as if hoping it will ultimately lift them higher and fill the void within.
The song hints at the struggle of maintaining a connection in a relationship that may be fading. The line "Every time I feel you slipping away" suggests that there is a sense of distance between the singer and their partner. They yearn for more meaningful communication and a deeper connection, but feel helpless in expressing their true desires or bridging the gap between them.
Overall, "The Ritual" portrays the complexities of routine and tradition in relationships, highlighting the comfort they bring as well as the potential for isolation and longing.
