Ride

    Artist: Twenty One Pilots

    I just wanna stay in the sun where I find

    I know it’s hard sometimes

    Pieces of peace in the sun’s peace of mind

    I know it’s hard sometimes

    Yeah, I think about the end just way too much

    But it’s fun to fantasize

    All my enemies who wouldn’t wish who I was

    But it’s fun to fantasize

    Oh, oh

    I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride

    Oh, I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride

    Taking my time on my ride

    I’d die for you

    That’s easy to say

    We have a list of people that we would take

    A bullet for them

    A bullet for you

    A bullet for everybody in this room

    But I don’t seem to see many bullets coming through

    See many bullets coming through

    Metaphorically I’m the man

    But literally I don’t know what I’d do

    I’d live for you

    And that’s hard to do

    Even harder to say

    When you know it’s not true

    Even harder to write

    When you know that tonight

    There are people back home which are talking to you

    But then you ignore them still

    All these questions they’re forming like

    Who would you live for?

    Who would you die for?

    And would you ever kill?

    Oh, oh

    I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride

    Oh, oh

    I’m falling so I’m taking my time on my ride

    Taking my time on my ride

    I’ve been thinking too much

    I’ve been thinking too much

    I’ve been thinking too much

    I’ve been thinking too much

    Help me

    ...

    Background

    This song is from the American pop duo’s album “Blurryface.” The reggae-themed “Ride” is structurally sound, with interesting instrumentation and perfectly fine lyrics. According to the band, their purpose for making music is “to make people think,” as well as encourage them to find joy in what they come to believe in life.
