Leave Them All Behind
Ride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Just to see
We've got so far to go
Until we get there
Just let it flow
Just let it flow
Just let it flow
Just let it flow
Just let it flow (Just let it flow)
Colours shining clear
Fading into night
Our grasp is broken
There's nothing we can do
I don't care about the colours
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth
I don't care about the truth
The lyrics of Ride's song "Leave Them All Behind" depict a journey into unknown lands where the singer is leaving everything behind to explore new territory. The idea of traveling to alien grounds is an analogy for taking a leap of faith into unfamiliar territory. The wheels turning symbolize the progress of the journey, while passing through different times emphasizes that this is a transformative experience. The repetition of the phrase "leave them all behind" not only encapsulates the determination to explore but also erases the singer's past with a single turn of phrase.
The song's second verse undergoes a shift in tone. The colors that were once shining clear are now fading into the night, and the singer's grasp is broken. The line "There's nothing we can do" implies the singer's acceptance of the inevitably difficult journey ahead. The following lines, "I don't care about the colors, I don't care about the light, I don't care about the truth," suggests the singer's readiness to let go of anything that may hold them back. The chorus's refrain, "Just let it flow," becomes a call to action, urging the singer to let go of all worldly concerns and just let the journey take its course.
Overall, the song's lyrics celebrate change and transformation. The imagery of a journey to unknown lands is an allegory for taking risks and embracing the unknown. The song emphasizes living in the moment and let go of anything that may hold one back from experiencing the journey to its fullest.

Fading into night
Gradually disappearing into darkness
Our grasp is broken
We can no longer control the situation
There's nothing we can do
Accepting that we have no power over the outcome
I don't care about the colours
Indifferent to the visuals
I don't care about the light
Not affected by the visual effects
I don't care about the truth
Not concerned with the reality or meaning of the situation
I don't care about the truth
Not concerned with the reality or meaning of the situation

The sheer audiacity of releasing the first single of your second album as an 8-minute epic cannot be understated.

@xeshtaed your comment reads like my early 90,s criminal record, this album might have a lot to answer for! 🤣🤣

This now should be played on classic rock radio these days. This song is so dense and powerful and so many never heard of Ride! Pure music euphoria.
The Fleecer

Andy Bell still maintains that this is Pop.
