Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the mere pretence
You dream to be a part
Of this perfect world
Wear your tempting grin
You'd do anything
Whatever it takes
To be his favourite girl
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight
The fake world you adore
What did you take it for
You were just a pleasant change
In this unreal world
Never belong to him
You didn't mean anything
You were just another
Willing and stupid girl
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
The lyrics to "Ride" by DJ Dizze and Usher describe an individual who wants to be part of a perfect and unreal world that they have created in their heads. The individual is willing to do whatever it takes to be noticed by someone they adore, even if it means being fake and pretending to be something they are not. The song describes the feelings of the individual as they try to become a part of this fake world, and how they eventually realize that they were just a temporary pleasure for the person they were trying to impress. The chorus talks about how the individual feels real when they are with the person they adore but eventually realizes that their dreams of being a part of this world will die out.
The lyrics are a metaphor for the struggles that many people face when trying to fit in with a certain crowd or group of individuals in society. The song talks about the dangers of being fake and how it can lead to feelings of rejection and worthlessness. The chorus is inspiring in that it talks about being real and not pretending to be something you are not, as this is the only way to truly find happiness in oneself.

You reach out your hands
You try to grab on to something
To the mere pretence
That isn't truly there
You dream to be a part
You have a desire to fit in
Of this perfect world
Of a world that seems flawless
Wear your tempting grin
You put on a charming smile
You'd do anything
You're willing to go to any lengths
Whatever it takes
No matter the cost
To be his favourite girl
To become the one he wants most

You finally feel alive
You take a ride on a star tonight
You experience something amazing and extraordinary
You burn so bright
You shine brilliantly
For your star tonight

What was your reason for pursuing it?
You were just a pleasant change
You were merely a temporary novelty
In this unreal world
In this world that isn't genuine
Never belong to him
You were never meant to be with him
You didn't mean anything
You weren't significant to him
You were just another
You were just like everyone else
Willing and stupid girl
A girl who was naive and eager
Your dreams will die
Your hopes and aspirations will perish
For your star tonight
For the person you desire
Now you feel so real
You finally feel alive
You take a ride on a star tonight
You experience something amazing and extraordinary
Now you feel so real
You finally feel alive
Your dreams will die
Your hopes and aspirations will perish
For your star tonight
For the person you desire
