about
More prog influences here mixed with a little punk as well. The whole song is pretty much a build up until the end and it eventually ends with a beautiful little piano piece Jino wrote.
lyrics
Ride
Staring out the window again
The neighborhood looks the same, I'll just keep myself in doors today
Waiting for some kind of mood
But emotion stays benign, I'll just smoke another cigarette
I'm at the page pouring out my dreams of a love that may never come
Stuck in my head, making friends with ghosts that I know will never know my name
All of this is fine
All of this is compromise
Cause the more I fake the world the more I'll know
Cut the strong advice
Save it for another life
Cause once I write the ending you will know
Burning with persistent desire
The city looks mundane, I'll just raise my soul to a higher plane
Wreckage of a life once carefree
But the dreams don't come too easily so I hold them tight when they come to me
I'm at the edge covering both my eyes cause I know I couldn't bare the sight
Maybe one day I could ride away from the doubt and I could set free all my fears
All of this is fine
All of this is compromise
Cause the more I fake the world the more I'll know
Cut the strong advice
Save it for another life
Cause once I write the ending you will know
Staring out the window again
The neighborhood looks the same, I'll just keep myself in doors today
Waiting for some kind of mood
But emotion stays benign, I'll just smoke another cigarette
I'm at the page pouring out my dreams of a love that may never come
Stuck in my head, making friends with ghosts that I know will never know my name
All of this is fine
All of this is compromise
Cause the more I fake the world the more I'll know
Cut the strong advice
Save it for another life
Cause once I write the ending you will know
Burning with persistent desire
The city looks mundane, I'll just raise my soul to a higher plane
Wreckage of a life once carefree
But the dreams don't come too easily so I hold them tight when they come to me
I'm at the edge covering both my eyes cause I know I couldn't bare the sight
Maybe one day I could ride away from the doubt and I could set free all my fears
All of this is fine
All of this is compromise
Cause the more I fake the world the more I'll know
Cut the strong advice
Save it for another life
Cause once I write the ending you will know
