The Moldy Peaches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ride it everywhere.
Oh how I count the ways,
The answer lies within me.
I love my roller skates,
I ride them everywhere.
Circle flows eternally,
How can I find a savior.
Got the coolest BMX,
I ride it everywhere.
Tis nobler to die for truth,
Tis holy to repent ones sins.
My daddy has a Subaru,
I ride it everywhere.
Time travels like a wave,
My mind it travels like a wave.
I ride it everywhere
My mind travels like a wave
The Moldy Peaches' song "Greyhound Bus" seems to describe a person who uses transportation methods to get around and engage in various activities. The lyrics reveal that the singer rides the Greyhound bus, roller skates, and a BMX bike to different places. The singer also mentions their father's Subaru car. The repetitive use of "I ride it everywhere" suggests that the singer may be a restless person, always on the move and never settling down in one place for too long.
The lines "Oh how I count the ways, The answer lies within me" and "Circle flows eternally, How can I find a savior" hint at a search for meaning and purpose in life. The singer seems to be seeking some sort of guidance or direction, but does not know where to turn. The lines "Tis nobler to die for truth, Tis holy to repent ones sins" suggest a possible reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet, which includes the famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy.
The last two lines ("Time travels like a wave, My mind it travels like a wave") suggest that the singer may be feeling lost or disconnected from reality, perhaps because they are always moving and searching for something. Overall, "Greyhound Bus" is a quirky and introspective song that explores themes of restlessness, meaning, and identity.
