Lyrics

Doesn't know what to do anymore

Feeling lost and unsure of what to do in life.

Jesus makes love to the spike

Metaphorical reference to drug use, where the spike symbolizes a needle for drug injection.

A trick for a fix and feeling so sick

Engaging in a risky behavior or activity to satisfy a craving and experiencing the consequences.

Just can't seem to get right

Struggling to find the right path or make the right choices.

Once he was the king of his world

Formerly in control and successful in his own world.

A world without any order

His world lacked structure or rules.

Sold it all without thinking twice

Sold everything without considering the consequences, possibly for drug money.

Just for a spoonful of water

Trading valuable possessions for a small amount of water, highlighting desperation.

Ride, ride on through

Repetition of the word "Ride" with a sense of urgency, possibly suggesting a need to escape or persevere.

Ceremonious ritual

Describing a ceremonial or ritualistic aspect, possibly related to drug use.

Raising of the veins

Injecting drugs into the veins as part of the ritual.

Always early and feeling so late

Always being early for drug-related activities but feeling emotionally delayed or troubled.

Waving goodbye to the rain

Symbolic farewell to difficult times or struggles, represented by the rain.

Ride, ride on through

Slowly scratching away at the world

Slowly causing damage or making an impact on the world, possibly through addiction.

Fearless when he is stoned

Fearless only when under the influence of drugs.

Obsessed by dreams of what could've been

Fixated on unrealized dreams, haunted by what could have been.

Trapped in his kingdom alone

Isolated and trapped in the consequences of his actions or addiction.

Ride, ride on through

Repetition of the word "Ride," possibly indicating a cyclical nature of struggles or a continuous journey.
