Yours
Rides Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hates the way he hates everything
Didn't say he would be driving home
Screaming out as his car crashes
Vanity has turned to ashes
With his body broken, growing cold
He shuts his eyes and prays
God, If your up there, watching over me
I'm lost and I'm broken
Please take the pain away!
Show me love
Hold me in your arms
Take my life
Scream it to the world I am yours
3AM she's sleeping alone
Doesn't want to answer the phone
Theres a stranger on the other line
She can hardly stand to listen
Feels a part of her is missing
She lost the only one she'll ever love
As tears run down her face
She shuts her eyes and prays
God, If your up there, watching over me
I'm lost and I'm broken
Please take the pain away!
Show me love
Hold me in your arms
Take my life
Scream it to the world "I am yours!"
Close your eyes
Slip away
Forever
And always
You'll never be alone
Close your eyes
Slip away
Forever
And always
You'll never be alone
God if your up there
Watching over me
Im lost and im broken
Take the pain away
Show me love
Hold me in your arms
Take my life
Scream it to the world "I am yours!"
Scream it to the world "I am yours!"
As tears run down her face
She shuts her eyes and prays...
The song "Yours" by Rides Again explores two different scenarios of individuals who feel lost, broken, and alone. The first verse speaks of a man who is consumed by hatred and actively engages in reckless behavior, driving drunk, and ultimately crashing his car. The second verse tells the story of a woman who has lost the love of her life and is struggling to cope with the grief and pain of his absence. Both characters turn to a higher power, in this case, God, to ask for guidance and relief from their emotions. The chorus of the song is a plea to be loved, held, and accepted, with the repeated refrain of "show me love, hold me in your arms, take my life, scream it to the world I am yours."
The lyrics appear to be a reflection of the fragility of human life and the importance of having a sense of belonging and connection. The song suggests that even in the depths of despair and heartache, there is still a glimmer of hope for redemption and salvation. The song's message is ultimately one of seeking comfort and reassurance in something bigger than ourselves.

I remember you guys came to my high school in rural Quebec and preformed in 2005 or 2006. ( Chateauguay Valley Regional High school) This song literally changed my life. I was just figuring out who I was, and it gave me the strength to scream out loud to the world that I was going to be different. Now, 6 years later, it is having the same effect. Thank you. -3 I am so happy I found this again. Ps, I was the girl that offered to do photo's for your album. Just know that the offer still stand

I am sooo happy I found this video!! Rides again came to my high school 13 years ago and I loved them. I listened to all their music years later. The other day I was trying to find their music and had the hardest time. Finally I came across this and all my high school memories came flooding back to me!
