Ride
Miss Lava Lyrics

The song "Ride" by Miss Lava speaks of a feeling of insignificance in one's own life, and the tendency to live life passively, imitating the actions and emotions of others. The first verse describes the singer as a "distant acting fool," someone who is merely playing a supporting role in their own life. This passivity is further emphasized by the phrase "passive stimulation of someone else's groove," which suggests that the singer is living their life to the beat of someone else's drum rather than their own.

The second verse describes the singer stopping to listen to something new, but questioning whether it is truly "brilliant" or simply not that good. This uncertainty is reflected in the line "undressing what chills my skin," which suggests that the singer is attempting to understand their own emotions and reactions. The final line of the verse, "passive simulation of someone else's grin," reinforces the idea of living life passively based on others' emotions.

The chorus, which repeats the phrase "ride the high," suggests that the singer is seeking a way out of this passivity through an experience that brings them to a heightened emotional state. The repetition of the phrase "ride into a lonely drive" suggests that this experience may be solitary, perhaps suggesting that the singer needs to find their own way out of their current emotional state.

Overall, "Ride" speaks to the feeling of being lost in one's own life and searching for a way to break out of a passive, imitative mode of living.
