Cover art for Ride lyrics by Twenty One Pilots

When I first heard this song, I was only really listening to the music and never realized how dark the lyrics are. "I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride", "I think about the end just way too much, but it's fun to fantasize"... i think this song is about blunt acceptance of degradation. I also think the topic is legit! Sometimes you struggle so hard with one concept (life) that you never realize you can just let go, and I think this was about letting go. During the rap I think this is further proved. "I'd take a bullet for everyone in this room", a promise that builds yourself up, but that's a ton of weight to carry. You can't keep going with the weight of empty words, promises, personas. This is about letting go, and seeing whats happening to you, evermore accepting it. You can decide for yourself wither this is positive or negative, but I love this song a lot. I like how hard their song's make me think, and I like how controversial they are, but my vote on this one is letting go, and having to accept that, as well as preparing to hit rock bottom by celebrating while you still can.
