Ride on
Sordal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ride on
It's all about here and now, It's not about who or how
It's only a newborn thought, A reminder of fights we fought
But if i could tell the future, Would i drop the pen right here?
Ride on - To whom it may concern
Ride on - destination shaky grounds
I sometimes break down and cry, But you know how hard i try
But if i could tell the future, Would i drop the pen right here?
Ride on - To whom it may concern
Ride on - destination shaky grounds
As i try to remember all i try to forget
Happily, set between tried and regret
No i can't tell the future
Ride on - For the sake of riding on
Ride on - Till' the rivers all run dry
Ride on - To whom it may concern




Ride on Ride on
Ohh....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sordal's song "Ride On" convey a deep sense of reflection and introspection. The song seems to revolve around the concept of living in the present moment, regardless of the past struggles or uncertainties of the future. The opening lines emphasize the importance of focusing on the here and now, rather than getting caught up in questions of identity or methods. It suggests a simplicity and purity in embracing each moment as it comes, representing a rebirth of thought and a recollection of past battles.


The repeated refrain of "Ride on - To whom it may concern" evokes a sense of moving forward with determination, despite the uncertainty of the destination. This could be interpreted as a message to keep pushing forward, even when faced with shaky circumstances or emotional struggles. The vulnerability expressed through the admission of breaking down and crying, contrasted with the determination to keep trying, adds depth to the emotional complexity of the lyrics.


The questioning of whether one would change the course of their life if they could see into the future adds a philosophical layer to the song. It raises the idea of fate versus free will, and whether knowing what lies ahead would alter our actions in the present. The refusal to dwell on what could be reveals a sense of acceptance and resilience, encapsulated in the repeated insistence to keep riding on, no matter what challenges lie ahead.


The final lines, with the haunting repetition of "Ride on," suggest a stubborn insistence on persevering, regardless of the trials and tribulations faced. The juxtaposition of trying to remember what we want to forget, finding a balance between past mistakes and future aspirations, encapsulates the human experience of grappling with our own shortcomings and hopes. Ultimately, the call to keep riding on until the end, even when faced with uncertainty and emotional turmoil, conveys a message of endurance and resilience in the face of life's inevitable uncertainties.
