Ridin' High
Ridin' High: A Desert Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I don't know who I'm not
I am uncertain about my identity.
Don't recognize where I stop
I struggle to determine my boundaries or limits.
I'm eagle flying down below
I feel liberated and soaring like an eagle below.
Drifting in the light, cruising through the darkness
I am navigating through contrasting experiences, moving between light and darkness.
I'm the coyote singing all alone
I embody the loneliness of a coyote who has lost his wife and home.
How he lost his wife and don't got a home
A reference to the tale of the coyote losing his wife and being homeless.
The stone that's waited patiently
A stone symbolizing patience, awaiting a transformation of the desert into the sea.
For the desert to turn back into the sea
Anticipation for a significant change in the environment.
I met you at the Great Divide
A meeting at a significant point of division or separation.
We nearly lost our minds that night
A shared experience that pushed the boundaries of sanity.
Lovings easy when you're alive
Love is uncomplicated when one is alive and present.
And ridin' high, throughout the desert night
Feeling elated and carefree, especially in the desert night.
Ridin' high
Repetition emphasizing the sensation of being 'Ridin' high.'
He's a serious guy with a serious laugh
Describing a person with a serious demeanor but possessing a hearty laugh.
Works the mountains takes care of his wife
Someone committed to their responsibilities, particularly to their spouse.
He eats his breakfast to the midnight moon
Routine activities extending into the late hours under the moonlight.
Drinks his coffee from the afternoon
A quirky habit of drinking coffee in the afternoon.
He don't got room to be like me
Comparing oneself to the serious person, highlighting differences.
Sitting in the desert with no where else to be
Feeling confined, sitting in the desert with nowhere else to go.
I met you at the Great Divide
A repetition of meeting at a significant division point.
We nearly lost our minds that night
A recall of a shared experience that challenged mental stability.
Lovings easy when you're alive
Reiterating the simplicity of love when one is alive.
And ridin' high, throughout the desert night
Expressing a carefree and elevated state throughout the desert night.
Ridin' high
Repetition emphasizing the sensation of being 'Ridin' high.'
