| Ride – Nowhere Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I made my journey here from first song Seagull to the last song Nowhere in this album. It seems he is trying to calm down and clear mind, just try to make peace with time. This time, he seems to have accepted the reality and try to make life easy and just let time flow. The lyrics "All that's left is you and me and here we are nowhere" made me feel that he is trying to living in the moment. Actually, it is a bit sad, at the same time, it is good to have no expectation and just do well in the present reality. Though emotionally feel sad, but relieved. Because sometimes we can not just get what we want. But I am sure he still loves her, at least, there is love in him, but no expectation, no self-sabotage. | |
| Letters to Cleo – Here And Now Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Based on feeling accumulated from last few songs, now, in here and now, I can feel the lyricist is trying to make peace with time. He is trying to takes things easy and just let time go. But he still has fear of maybe losing that girl forever. But he is trying to accept it. | |
| Ride – Taste Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I can feel it is about losing direction, losing the sense, feeling for her. The girl she really really loved. In Paralysed, and Vapour trail, the love was so deep and it hurts so hardly that the sense may get numb because of long time separation. But he still doesn't wanna hurt her. So he gets stuck. | |
| Ride – Vapour Trail Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
This lyric"You are a vapour trail In a deep blue sky" really is as beautiful as poem. Seems he still loves her. It is just a force that is holding them back. And "all my time is yours as much as mine" seems to imply that he thinks of her a lot in his free time. What a beautiful and poetic song. |

| Ride – Paralysed Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| As for this song, I really don't know what to say. As if he has lost the power to keep going in life. Is it becuase he lost hope? Is it because he cannot see the future or face the future? What is making him paralysed? The last relationship? Does it mean he still loves her and he cannot move on? I am confused. | |
| Ride – Decay Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Our growth seems certain to decay, seems lyricist is trying to cherish what he can feel at present. Even though there were a lot of twists and turns in the past in his last relationship, but he still loves this girl. And try to love her with all the love that he can feel. They might not be together, but this moment he feels love in them. Maybe he is imagining her existence around him, and trying to catch the moment that trenscends space and time. | |
| Ride – Dreams Burn Down Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| It is a really painful and helpless feeling, I felt the lyricist is trying to express a helpless feeling, he loves her so much, but they can't be together, because sth is holding them back. Espeially when the lyrics reaches"we are doomed when we walk out of the room" from which I can feel when we walk out of room, we have to face reality in day light, but in home, we can imagine in dream. It seems it is almost impossible for them to be together though the lyricist himsels not sure what excatly is holding him back from reaching to her. But he might feels it is right to let her go. Maybe because they live in different country, maybe there is huge age gap between them that makes him wrong to start the relationship. | |
| Ride – Polar Bear Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I still feel this song as cross-country lovers who separated and still miss each other. | |
| Ride – Polar Bear Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
Polar Bear in my feeling is more of a man who has to escape or at least hide his true feeling. Or it might because he had no choice to do anything currently to continue his relationship. The lyrics here is more about the girl, who is trying to love him back. At least, he is sure that the girl loves him. And the lyrics" please raise the roof higher" but nobody heard is trying to explain how hard the situation/reality can be to get what she wants which is to get his love back, to find him. The lyrics "Why should it feel like a crime? If I want to be with you all the time" is a confession from lyricist that he loves the girl a lot, but there is a hidden force that is holding back him from reaching to her. And there is a barrier on the other side, that girl, who is also trying to love him back, but find it hard to make it happen. The lyrics"Why is it measured in hours?", in my feeling, is trying to imply that if reality makes it almost impossible for them to be with each other, then he chooses to love her through the sign of universe, in a way that trenscends time and space, there they can be with each other as long as they want. As lyricist mentioned in the first song Seagull, " we all knoe there's no limit to thought" and here this time, thsi line "You should make your own time, you're welcome in mine", makes sense a lot. |

| sorry about mistyping he, she, and her. | |
| Ride – In a Different Place Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| For me, it is not about drugs. It is about two people who love each other but not together in a same space, maybe cross country love. Their relationship might have ended based on clues I felt from first two songs in this album. But the lyricist this time is imagining, or I would say he is sure that the girl he loves is also thinking of her, their feeling towards each other connected in a time and space trenscending way. Especially the lyricist in first song Seagull mentioned"you burned your wings and now see me fly high", which meant in my feeling, he knows this girls still loves her. They just separated without given a choice. So when he misses her, he can only imagine connecting to her through mind and will instead of physically in same space and time. Though helpless but very powerful love I can feel from this song. | |
| Ride – Kaleidoscope Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I heard full album step by step. In first song Seagull, I felt it was as if first stage of separation from mate. This song, Kaleidoscope, reminds me of my crush Paul, until the moment he left my country, I realized how much I love him. And it was the second year he left. I still think of him a lot. This song resonated to me so deeply. All the songs he shared fill my head, all the words sad float around me. His smell,his smile. Even this day, I still don't know what hold us back from getting together with each other. I miss him a lot. Glad that we are still friends, he recommended this song to me one day ago at night. | |
| Ride – Seagull Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| The whole album arranges songs in a perfect way. In Seagull, in my own feeling, seemed like lost hope in a relationship, at least, it was a pretty painful and desperate feeling by saying we are dead, like ashes falling to floor. But deep down in mind, he still loves her deeply, even deeper than ever, especially when he felt his lover loves her back, he is clear, though there is no hope, no future to this relationship, but in his mind, his love has turned to become a spirirt, which is transcends time, space. I can feel true and pure love. Especially when listening to the rest of the songs in this album one by one, the emotion will gradually rise up to its top and then it will gradually calm nerves down, ends in a comforting way. (I will leave comment on each song in this album one by one. ) | |
