Ride
The Lift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask me if i care to
Hear anything you say
And i'll tell you that i
I hear everything
Take your time
I'm in a day dream
Don't ask why
I'm in a day dream
I don't mind
I'm in a day dream that's why
Late night bike ride, i'll go
Anywhere i like
Don't know, cold night, don't care
I just like to ride
Chorus
Ride...ride...ride
Chorus
Sunday evening, afternoon
That never ends




Lay down outside, smile while
Life just passes by

Overall Meaning

In the song Ride by The Lift, the lyrics speak of a desire for escapism from the norm of life's routine. The singer seems to be disinterested in communicating with the world around them, preferring to remain in their own "day dream." They don't care to hear anything said to them because they're already consumed by their own thoughts. Their preferred escape is taking bike rides at night, enjoying the freedom of going anywhere without concern. The lyrics in the chorus repeat the word "ride" multiple times, emphasizing the desire for adventure and freedom of movement.


The mention of a "Sunday evening, afternoon that never ends" is significant because it highlights the paradox of timelessness. This idea is reinforced by the line "smile while life just passes by," which could imply that even though the singer is actively avoiding the passing of time, they are still content with the moment. Overall, Ride's lyrics are about a search for personal liberation, and reinforces the sentiment that sometimes a simple bike ride can provide that escape.
