Heard this for the first time on npr a few days ago while I was at work and it made me cry... it's a perfect song, and it's exactly what the world needs right now.
Everyone’s too scared to open their eyes up, But everyone’s too scared to close them Everyone’s frightened they don’t know what’s coming But everyone’s frightened of knowing Everyone’s reading the rules of engagement And everyone’s starting to doubt them Everyone’s reaching to put on a seat belt But this kind of ride comes without them. I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you I wish we could meet all the people behind us in line The climb to the crest is less frightening with someone to clutch you But isn’t it nice when we’re all afraid at the same time And it’s just a ride It’s just a ride And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like It’s just a ride It’s just a ride The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try Everyone’s terrified that they’ll be justified by the collapse that will happen Everyone’s placing their bets just in case the whole thing’s a profound disappointment Everyone’s trying to stay on the side where the water’s just boiling more slowly Frogs in a pot, hell that’s one thing I’ve got, at least some of the frogs in here know me I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you The chain pulls us up and we know that we’re all gonna dive The blur and the noise of the screaming can blind and distract you But isn’t it nice when we all can scream at the same time And it’s just a ride It’s just a ride And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like It’s just a ride It’s just a ride The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try And as we all go down And as we all go ‘round And as we pitch from side to side Everything is gonna be alright Everyone’s getting real scared to come out because coming out’s going down badly Feel the city breaking and everybody’s shaking and I just want someone to hold me Some are too scared to let go of their children and some are too scared now to have them Suicide, homicide, genocide - man that’s a f*ck ton of sides you can choose from I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you I wish we could meet all the people who got left behind The ride is so loud it can make you think no one is listening But isn’t it nice when all can cry at the same time And it’s just a ride It’s just a ride And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like It’s just a ride It’s just a ride The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try And as we all go down And as we all go ‘round And as we switch from side to side Everything is gonna be just fine Everyone you love is gonna die Hopefully this song will come remind you That it’s just a ride It’s just a ride From the sister you miss to the father you don’t wanna write it’s just a ride It’s just a ride From the lover you left to the one that you’re frightened to find it’s just a ride It’s just a ride From the baby you lost to the one that you’re growing inside Come on out darling and don’t you cry It’s just a ride.
She didn't mention anything about that when I was talking to her. She asked for people to bring recording equipment along and post as much of the show as possible.
I literally just finished watching her TED talk where she said she encourages everyone to share and torrent her music. Her biggest point was that making people pay for music isn't the point, it's letting them
you do not own her or patreon and humans change their minds. seriously she needs others to see this so they can buy tickets for her largest tour ever.dude u give a couple bucks a month and now u own shit.that was the whole point and everyone should enjoy it.maah.
@@theoemmerson1544 I meant english lyrics written down somewhere, because I don't exactly get every word she says there but this isn't actual anymore. Amanda posted lyrics to each and every song after album got released. :D
I missed my last bus to stay for this song. It fucking CHANGED ME. Thank you so much x
I know exactly how you feel, that whole concert last night was really special.
Heard this for the first time on npr a few days ago while I was at work and it made me cry... it's a perfect song, and it's exactly what the world needs right now.
wow, life in song
Everyone’s too scared to open their eyes up,
But everyone’s too scared to close them
Everyone’s frightened they don’t know what’s coming
But everyone’s frightened of knowing
Everyone’s reading the rules of engagement
And everyone’s starting to doubt them
Everyone’s reaching to put on a seat belt
But this kind of ride comes without them.
I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
I wish we could meet all the people behind us in line
The climb to the crest is less frightening with someone to clutch you
But isn’t it nice when we’re all afraid at the same time
And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try
Everyone’s terrified that they’ll be justified by the collapse that will happen
Everyone’s placing their bets just in case the whole thing’s a profound disappointment
Everyone’s trying to stay on the side where the water’s just boiling more slowly
Frogs in a pot, hell that’s one thing I’ve got, at least some of the frogs in here know me
I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
The chain pulls us up and we know that we’re all gonna dive
The blur and the noise of the screaming can blind and distract you
But isn’t it nice when we all can scream at the same time
And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try
And as we all go down
And as we all go ‘round
And as we pitch from side to side
Everything is gonna be alright
Everyone’s getting real scared to come out because coming out’s going down badly
Feel the city breaking and everybody’s shaking and I just want someone to hold me
Some are too scared to let go of their children and some are too scared now to have them
Suicide, homicide, genocide - man that’s a f*ck ton of sides you can choose from
I want you to think of me sitting and singing beside you
I wish we could meet all the people who got left behind
The ride is so loud it can make you think no one is listening
But isn’t it nice when all can cry at the same time
And it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
And you’ve got the choice to get off any time that you like
It’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
The alternative’s nothingness, might as well give it a try
And as we all go down
And as we all go ‘round
And as we switch from side to side
Everything is gonna be just fine
Everyone you love is gonna die
Hopefully this song will come remind you
That it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the sister you miss to the father you don’t wanna write
it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the lover you left to the one that you’re frightened to find
it’s just a ride
It’s just a ride
From the baby you lost to the one that you’re growing inside
Come on out darling and don’t you cry
It’s just a ride.
Perfect
Didn't she say she doesn't want this song shared anywhere outside of Pateron until the album comes out?
She didn't mention anything about that when I was talking to her. She asked for people to bring recording equipment along and post as much of the show as possible.
Also she shared the link out to my youtube playlist of the concert the day after the gig on her twitter so I guess she's cool with it.
hootenanee29 huh, I wonder why she changed her mind. It was for sure something she said in her patreon posts after she released it

what language are you looking for? I may be able to help
