Ride on
St. James's Gate Lyrics

The lyrics of St. James's Gate's song "Ride On" describe feelings of isolation and disconnection. The first two lines suggest a preoccupation with the sky, as if the singer is searching for something beyond themselves. The following lines reference a phone on airplane mode, implying a desire to disconnect from the world entirely.

The singer claims to have never been understood, and wonders if their fixation on the sky and disconnection from technology means they are insane. The repetition of "trop le ciel comme si y'avait dix milles lunes" (too much sky as if there were ten thousand moons) emphasizes this sense of disorientation.

The chorus includes the phrase "obsédé par R34" (obsessed with R34), which could refer to the Nissan Skyline R34 or the airplane model Airbus A340- 600 R34. The fixation on this specific object could be another manifestation of the singer's desire to escape reality.
