Lana Del Rey - Ride (Lyrics)
I've been out on that open road
You can be my full-time daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full-time baby, hot or cold
Don't break me down (Don't break me down)
I've been traveling too long (I've been traveling too long)
I've been trying too hard (I've been trying too hard)
With one pretty song (With one pretty song)
I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride
Dying young and playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it
Light 'til dark
Don't leave me now (Don't leave me now)
Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)
Don't turn around (Don't turn around)
Leave me high and dry (Leave me high and dry)
I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
Hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride
I just ride, I just ride

"I believe in the person i want to become", what a powerful phrase.
-
That Lanachella entrance was the most Lana thing I’ve ever seen . 🏍️ 🍒 😎🥺

who’s here in may 2024?

I’ve met Lana after one of her concerts. I cannot describe the energy this woman gives. Her voice is soothing, her words are like velvet. Her smile can light up a whole room. Lana is a singer, a powerful one. She is a poet. Her music is art. There is no one, and I mean no one like her. Not even close. This song, this prologue and epilogue. This is a masterpiece. I just wished people would truly appreciate the greatness that Lana is.

The monologue is a true masterpiece. The song doesn't make as much sense without it. "I was in a winter of my life and the men I met along the road were my only summer"...Beautiful.
-
This song plus the monologue has such a beautiful message it's so sad yet it gives you a strange sense of fulfilment
-
When she said, "There's no use talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people". From past experience- I know exactly what she's talking about. 💔 😢
-
My friend showed me Lana and I've never looked back since. This was her favorite song RIP Ellie
-
discovering lana was a life-changing experience for all of us
-
It's impossible to skip this monologue. Even though you come just for the music, you become addicted to the story.
-
11 Years later if you’re watching this, you’re a legend!❤
-
the monologue gives so much context to the song, everytime i listen again it just makes more and more sense
-
Not to be dramatic or anything but this song changed my life
-
Lana Del Rey really wrote that, I can’t wait for the poetry books
-
My boyfriend is an old biker and right now he's very unwell in hospital. As I sit here I am thinking of all the good times we have had including the times he took me on his bike when we were young. I love this song!
-
Lana's transcendent art will be bigger than any grammy
-
“I belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.”
-
Lana makes me feel like everything's gonna be fine even when it's not
-
The poetry involved in this song is immaculate. One of Lana's finest works, technically.
-
To me, this is my most personal Lana song. I can't listen to this without crying. It reminds me of everytime I cut or nearly drank myself to death. Or the lonely nights I would spend in my truck, homeless. A drunk coke addict with nothing to look forward to but death. And yet, Lana would help me pull forward. I can only wish I could tell her how much she means to me. Thank you Elizabeth Grant for everything you've done ❤ You may not know it, but your music has saved a life, at the very least, my own
