Ride

Rob Zombie

It has no motives,
No limits,
It can't hurt,
Can it?
See what it is

I tried to see the one that's free
Now it's gone
I tried to hear the one that's near
Move along
I tried to feel the one that's real
Is it wrong?
I tried to make to one that takes
Now it's gone

Innocent and wounded, baby
Educated Horses, baby
Distant kings surrounding, baby
Imitation of life, baby

Ride
Dirty sweet and filthy
Ride
Beat your hands on me

This is where the ghosts hide
Now it's gone
This is where the truth lies
Move along
This is where the dirt flies
Is it wrong?
Up against the mud skies
Now it's gone

Innocent and wounded, baby
Educated Horses, baby
Distant kings surrounding, baby
Imitation of life, baby

Ride
Dirty sweet and filthy
Ride
Beat your hands on me

Ride
Dirty sweet and filthy
Ride
Beat your hands on me

Ride
Dirty sweet and filthy
Ride
Beat your hands on me

    Just an all around great song! Rob Zombie is in the realm of musical gods (along with Trent Reznor and Maynard James Keenan)

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
