Ride the Wind
Ride Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting round some time
Just to live a life that's mine
I've been walking round this town
When there's no one else around
You can hear it everywhere
This is our eternal prayer
Let it go, Ride the wind
Let it go, Ride the wind

You'll see me, I'll come and see you
Always finding something to do
Love is needing, I'm needing love
Got to know that there is enough
We've been working far too late
Carrying this heavy load

Let it go, Ride the wind
Let it go, Ride the wind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ride's song Ride the Wind express a longing for freedom and a desire to live life on one's own terms. The singer has been waiting for some time to achieve this, suggesting a sense of restlessness and impatience. They have been walking around town alone, perhaps feeling disconnected from others or seeking solitude.


The repeated phrase "Let it go, Ride the wind" reinforces this desire for release and escape. The wind is often used as a symbol of freedom and unpredictability, and here it represents the possibility of breaking free from the constraints of everyday life. The idea of an "eternal prayer" suggests a spiritual or universal aspect to the singer's desire for freedom, as if they are seeking something deeper than just a change of scenery.


The song also touches on the theme of love, specifically the idea that love is a two-way street and that both parties must give and receive in order for it to be fulfilling. The lines "Love is needing, I'm needing love / Got to know that there is enough" suggest a mutual dependence and a need for reassurance. The final stanza acknowledges the burden of work and responsibilities, but once again emphasizes the importance of letting go and embracing the unknown.


Overall, Ride the Wind is a song that encourages listeners to break free from the monotony and routines of everyday life, to embrace the unknown and to seek personal fulfillment and freedom.

Hearts of fire
Streets of stone
Modern warriors
Saddle iron horses of chrome
Taste the wild
Lick the wind
Like something they never saw before
Their jaws dropping to the floor
Steel made of soul and sin
Rebels born without a care
(And the day he listens)
Only to fly where eagles dare
And the night she whispers
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Painted flesh
Loyalty
Humble pride
Just as far as the eye can see
Stories told
Two old friends
Of battle scars and lonely bars
And nights the rain wouldn't end
Here's to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles
(And the day he listens)
Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles
And the night she whispers
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
I'm still the bravest soul in sin
Burning till the night is done
Of all the truths and lies
And stories of riders in the sky
They say only the bravest try
Where eagles and angels dare to fly
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind
Never coming back again
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
