Ride
Skin Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
Anything he like
Whatever goes down
Imma let it slide
As long as I get to ride
Ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
Anything he like
Got me greased up babe
Feel it deep inside
Tonight I wanna ride
Sometimes love is just a walk in the park
It sure feels nice but doesn't draw my heart
When I ride him
I never get told
When I ride I'm in control
I start my engines real slow
Let the power flow
I can rev it up, Feel the thrust
Do a touch and draw
I can make a move
Feel a thrill
Take a break and make him wait
He likes to watch me do what I do
The kids are fucking drunk, oh
and I'm a cowgirl
He's tossing me around
and I hold up all the world
Keys are all I've lost
And I'm a distant land
I just hop up on the ride
And my body's in his hands
Gonna ride him like a bike
ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
anything he like
Whatever goes down
Imma let it slide
As long as I get to ride
Gonna ride him like a bike
Ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
Anything he like
Got me greased up, babe
Feel it deep inside
Tonight I wanna Ride
Ride him like a bike
Ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
Anything he like
Whatever goes down
Imma let it slide
As long as I get to ride
Gonna Ride him like a bike
Ride him like a bike
I'll do anything he like
Anything he like
Got me greased up babe
Feel it deep inside
Tonight I wanna ride
The song "Ride" by Skin Town seems to be about a sexual encounter or relationship. The repeated phrase, "Wanna ride him like a bike," suggests a desire for control and power. The singer is willing to do anything the person they are with wants, as long as they are able to "ride" them. The lyrics also suggest that the singer wants to be in control of the situation, never getting told what to do and revving their engines at their own pace.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea of control and pleasure, as the singer says they will let anything happen as long as they get to "ride." The repetition of "ride him like a bike" throughout the song also reinforces this theme of control and power, with the idea of riding a bike suggesting a sense of freedom, movement, and ownership.
The bridge of the song seems to switch gears a bit, with the singer acknowledging that love can be a walk in the park but it doesn't draw their heart. This may suggest that the singer is looking for something more exciting or fulfilling in their relationships, which is why they want to "ride" their partner like a bike.
Overall, the song seems to be about taking control and finding pleasure in a sexual encounter, with the repeated metaphor of riding a bike reinforcing the idea of control and ownership.
