Ride With Me
~Bloodsimple~ Lyrics

The killer awoke before dawn
The murderer woke up early in the morning

He put his boots on
He wore his boots

He took a face from the ancient gallery
He took a mask from the old exhibit

And he walked on down the hall
He walked through the hallway

He went into the room where his sister lived and he
He entered his sister's room

He paid a visit to his brother and then he
He visited his brother

He walked on down the hall, yeah
He continued walking through the hallway

And he came to a door
He reached a door

And he looked inside
He peered inside

Father? Yes son? I want to kill you
The murderer wanted to kill his father

He said what?
The father was surprised and confused

And mother? I want to
The murderer also wanted to harm his mother

I want to fuck you
The murderer wants to sexually assault his mother

For what you put me through
The murderer is seeking revenge for something his parents did to him

So what you got
The murderer is challenging his victims, asking what they can do to stop him

So fuck you
The murderer is expressing his anger and hatred towards his victims

It's coming back to you
The murderer plans to inflict harm on his victims as revenge

The other night I was out riding in a friend's car
The singer was recently in a car with a friend

And out there on the side of the road
The car passed by a spot on the side of the road

There was this snake
There was a snake

This snake had eyes of fire and fangs from another world
The snake was described as possessing supernatural qualities

But he was selling something
The snake was offering something for sale

He was selling devotion
The snake was selling devotion or loyalty

He was selling dreams, he was selling lifestyles
The snake was offering dreams and attractive lifestyles for sale

And I said sure man what you got
The singer shows interest in the snake's offerings

I'm interested in anything that's gonna get me off
The singer is interested in anything that can provide pleasure and escape

And the snake just stood there and smiled with the spit in his eye and cried
The snake reacted positively to the singer's interest, but there is a sense of insincerity

He was selling dreams and he was selling lies
The singer now understands that the snake was not offering anything genuine

I met the prisoner of my own device
The singer realizes that he has become a victim of his own desires

He was selling love, he was selling bliss
The snake was offering love and happiness in exchange for something else

He sold me anything, I could not resist
The singer was drawn to the snake's offerings and could not resist

Ride with me
The snake is offering to take the singer on a journey

I had the freedom to live how I wanted
The singer felt free to live and act as he desired

To take what I wanted to take
The singer felt entitled to take what he wanted

From anyone at any time
The singer believed he could take from anyone whenever he wanted

Forever in heartache
The singer now realizes that this behavior will lead to long-term pain and sadness

As the snake just stood there and smiled
The snake is indifferent to the singer's pain and misery

At my demise
The singer recognizes that his involvement with the snake will lead to his own destruction

I wasn't scared
Despite the realization of his fate, the singer is not afraid of it
