Ride Away
Ride Away: Echoes of Freedom in a World Unraveling
Lyrics
As I went up the hill
Beginning of a journey or experience, possibly uphill or challenging.
To see the sisters three
Encounter with three sisters, mysterious or symbolic figures.
The only words that they could say
The sisters' warning about an impending threat or danger.
Were "Soon they'll come for thee"
Emphasis on the inevitability of facing consequences or adversaries.
As I went to the square
Move to a public space to witness a significant event involving family.
To see my brother hang
Observing the execution of a brother, facing a harsh reality.
The only words that he could say
Brother's farewell words, expressing hope for a future meeting.
Were "Til we meet again"
An acknowledgment of an eventual reunion, suggesting resilience.
Ride away, ride away
An invitation or command to ride away, escape, or seek freedom.
Baby we will ride
Reiteration of the intention to ride away with a sense of urgency.
Rest upon my shoulder
Inviting someone to find solace and support in the speaker's presence.
Until the morning light
A commitment to provide comfort until a new beginning at daybreak.
As I went to the church
Visiting a place of worship, seeking peace or resolution for the soul.
To let my soul be stilled
Desire for inner tranquility, perhaps amid external chaos.
The only words that I could hear
Only hearing distant words, possibly indicating a struggle to find clarity.
Came echoing from the hill
Sounds or messages resonating from a higher place, guiding or influencing.
Ride away, ride away
Reiteration of the call to ride away, emphasizing its importance.
Baby we will ride
Renewed commitment to escape together, facing challenges as a pair.
Sleep upon my should
Encouraging rest on the speaker's shoulder, reinforcing mutual support.
While the bullets 'round us fly
Navigating danger together, symbolized by bullets, while seeking refuge.
Far away, far away
Expressing a desire to go far away, escaping the troubles of the world.
Way out past the world
An evocation of a distant, unknown place, free from familiar constraints.
Ride away, ride away
Repeating the call to ride away, reinforcing the urgency and determination.
Baby we will ride
Restating the commitment to escape together, facing challenges united.
Sleep upon my shoulder
Encouraging sleep on the speaker's shoulder, even with wounds or hardships.
With a bullet in your side
Facing adversity together, symbolized by a bullet in the side.
Far away, far away
Expressing a desire to be far away, beyond the known world.
Way out past the world.
Emphasizing the longing for a place distant from worldly troubles.
