Riding Low
Riding Low: Defying Conformity in Small Towns
Lyrics
I'vee been riding low
I've been experiencing a period of low emotions or challenges.
I've been riding fast
I've been moving rapidly or taking risks in my life.
Gotta take this moment I'm gonna make it last
I want to savor this moment and make it endure.
Because you don't know me
People lack understanding of who I truly am.
Don't be quick to judge
Advocating against making hasty judgments about me.
'Cause I'll tell you something I don't care that much
Expressing a lack of concern for others' opinions.
Don't come around here
Warning against coming with strict, unwelcome guidelines.
Preaching your god damn rules
Rejecting the imposition of rigid moral or social codes.
Don't come around here
Reiteration of not wanting interference or manipulation.
I ain't your fool
Asserting independence and refusal to be deceived.
You're gonna regret it
Advising that staying in the current situation will lead to regrets.
If you stay in this town
Claiming not to be a savior, implying individual responsibility.
I'm no saviour
Expressing readiness to confront challenges or opposition.
I will take you down
Asserting the ability to overcome obstacles.
This here town
Describing the town as relatively small or close-knit.
You know it ain't that big
Highlighting the limited size of the community.
It don't take long
Suggesting that one quickly discovers information about others.
To know just what I did
Reflecting on personal actions and their consequences.
Don't come around here
Reiterating the rejection of imposed rules or judgments.
Preaching your god damn rules
Emphasizing resistance against unwanted moral guidance.
Don't come around here
Reasserting independence and refusal to be deceived.
I ain't no fool
Reiteration of self-awareness and resistance to manipulation.
No
Emphatic rejection or disagreement.
Don't come around here
Reiterating the resistance against imposed rules.
Preaching your god damn rules
Emphasizing the rejection of external moral guidelines.
Don't come around here
Reasserting independence and refusal to be deceived.
I ain't your fool
Reiteration of not being easily fooled or manipulated.
Because you don't know me
Restating the idea that others lack true understanding of the speaker.
I ride low and fast
Reemphasizing the theme of riding with low emotions and high speed.
Gonna take this moment
Affirming the intention to seize the present moment and move forward.
And leave you in my past
Deciding to leave the past behind and move on.
I'm gonna keep riding
Committing to continue facing life's challenges.
Looking in the mirror
Engaging in self-reflection, possibly on past actions.
Watching that little town slowly disappear
Observing the gradual disappearance of a small town in the rearview mirror.
