Ride - Dreams Burn Down Lyrics






Lying under sky laughing at everything I say
And pulls me under, there's no time to resist
Lying on the floor the tears are falling down and more
Her eyes speak loud but actions speak the best

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

She's effortlessly cool but circumstances can be cruel
And sometimes you must accept that you can't always get what you want
We fill up our days and nights, we fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
But we know we are doomed the moment we walk out the room

Waiting, hoping for a sign
That what's forbidden can be mine
I just want what I can't have
'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

Ride Dreams Burn Down Comments
  1. T.... M....

    This is NOT a song. This is an ANTHEM to the early 90's.

  2. c.... ....

    2:14 is heaven

  3. W.... ....

    maybe my fave...maybe

  4. S.... B....

    One of the best songs live, fullstop

  5. P.... ....

    Scorcher <3

  6. R.... T....

    I lose myself into infinity through the sound of this album...

  7. J.... G....

    I hate they cut the intro in the shows. This song is amazing. Sonic perfection. So underrated

  8. C.... M....

    This is just otherworldly......Alan Moulder man........... I bet God has this on rotation.

  9. g.... ....

    Loz Colbert's drumming on Nowhere was mind-blowingly good, and this song is a great example of that.

  10. m.... ....

    I hear this and I'm a sullen 13 year old again. So many memories....

  11. t.... ....

    Oblique

  12. g.... ....

    Loz Colbert's drumming on Nowhere by Ride is awesome. What a drummer!!

  13. P.... L....

    I just saw Ride play that song in concert last week. As fantastic as ever!

  14. A.... S....

    Radio 1 dumped all this in the 90s but hadn't reckoned on Britpop

  15. g.... t....

    one of the best (song) from one of the best (band), Coldplay sucks

    g.... t....

    ...to develop your point, Coldplay suck the sweat from a dead man's balls. Everything that you hear in this and Ride's other work, the hurt, the ecstasy, the total clarity of thought in the swirling haze, the insecurity, the complete belief in what they are doing...in short, the passion....simply doesn't exist in anything Coldplay have ever produced. Hint, if sixty somethings AND millennials love your music, you are officially shit.

    g.... t....

    @Big Moncrief great!

  16. J.... R....

    So cute

  17. S.... ....

    Perfection personified

  18. G.... ....

    Maybe my fave Ride song, great hooks

  19. P.... V....

    Experiencia chamamica

  20. A.... L....

    The best shoegaze song not recorded by My Bloody Valentine

    A.... L....

    It's definitely a contender, alongside Vapour Trail.

    A.... L....

    Slowdive

  21. J.... J....

    Listen to this at 1.25 speed, you're welcome

  22. r.... h....

    classic ride https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333104084527

  23. D.... C....

    Triumphant. Proto-Pavement, Smashing Pumpkins, and the rest ?

  24. n.... t....

    Perfection.

  25. G.... W....

    t u n e.

  26. T.... B....

    Great album. Beginning 2 end

  27. S.... ....

    Coldplay - In My Place

  28. S.... G....

    Best track on the album.

    S.... G....

    Simon Griffiths many many good songs on this album. Is it the best ? Too hard to say for me....

  29. W.... ....

    My Bloody Valentine may have been the gateway, but Ride were the welcome sign.

  30. M.... D....

    This song is a masterpiece! I remember the first time I heard it back in 90....2? 93? Whenever it was. Love it.

  31. S.... G....

    I ugly cried when I heard this song live. The bathroom attendant helped me wipe the mascara off my face.
    And I fell in love with Loz Colbert that night. Absolute favorite drummer.

    S.... G....

    Space Ghost this is a phat beat . Right there with ya .

  32. g.... m....

    Well I was at the Town and Country Club when RIDE played this gem... Fan bloody tastic I can tell you - grats to who did the lighting wow!

  33. S.... O....

    The drumming kills in this song.

  34. B.... S....

    What a band, what a sound. Brilliant.

  35. s.... ....

    classic ride

  36. A.... ....

    When I heard this song, I was crying.

  37. A.... R....

    Meu aniversário é com essa banda , Dedico a todos...RIDE! Fã Anderson.

  38. b.... ....

    Thanks all of y'all for sharing your love for this song/band. Coldplay before there was a Coldplay. I hear you, there's definitely some sonic similarities. Love this album, my college age years. Was around 18 then, 44 now. Peace.

  39. J.... V....

    Lying under sky,
    She laughs at everything I say,
    And pulls me under.
    There's no time to resist.
    Lying on the floor,
    There's no time to resist,
    Lying on the floor,
    The tears are falling down and more.
    Her eyes speak loud,
    But actions speak the best

    Waiting, hoping for a sign,
    That what's forbidden can be mine.
    I just want what I can't have,
    Until my dreams burn down every time.

    She's effortlessly cool,
    But circumstances can be cruel.
    And sometimes you must accept,
    That you can't always get what you want.
    We fill up our days and nights.
    We fill up the gaps in our empty little lives.
    But we know we are doomed,
    The moment we walk out the room.

  40. W.... ....

    Einer der schönsten und romatischsten Noise Pop Songs, die ich jemals hörte.

  41. A.... R....

    This among the greatest songs I've ever heard.

  42. S.... �....

    This song is special.

  43. D.... D....

    <3 RIDE <3

  44. R.... Q....

    Lying under sky laughing at everything I say
    And pulls me under, there's no time to resist
    Lying on the floor the tears are falling down and more
    Her eyes speak loud but actions speak the best

    Waiting, hoping for a sign
    That what's forbidden can be mine
    I just want what I can't have
    'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

    She's effortlessly cool but circumstances can be cruel
    And sometimes you must accept that you can't always get what you want
    We fill up our days and nights, we fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
    But we know we are doomed the moment we walk out the room

    Waiting, hoping for a sign
    That what's forbidden can be mine
    I just want what I can't have
    'Til my dreams burn down and choke me every time

  45. P.... M....

    Has it really been 20 years? Still sounds good

  46. 1.... ....

    This song is like a choice Nug.

  47. P.... T....

    used to cover this song there no greater pleasure

  48. R.... ....

  49. M.... ....

    Immense.

  50. S.... R....

    S.... R....

    ColdMourning haha that's what i keep thinking

    S.... R....

    art is theft. No band is innocent.

  51. B.... I....

    Foling down and more 'wayting

  52. B.... I....

    Foling down and more 'wayting

  53. A.... L....

    @ 2:15 I want my ears to start bleeding.

    M.... g....

    so beautiful. try butterfly electric​ lost trails

  58. b.... s....

    rilassante

  59. T.... R....

    I love this song so much! It gives me the chills... that riff is sublime...

  60. O.... L....

    Here we see the wild hipster, who's to stubborn to like popular and current music so they stick with lesser known bands and praise them as legends.

    O.... L....

    I wonder if this song came out today would anyone even care about it.

    O.... L....

    Omar Lopez stfu you miserable virgin

    O.... L....

    Omar Lopez it's typical that bands stay lesser known because they use unconventional , non wide appealing techniques and styles.
    Calling a band who crafts a unique style legends...is potentially very logical, and easily defended .

    ...even though Ride is famous lol.

    O.... L....

    Hipsters don't like RIDE, we're all old farts who grew up with these guys

  61. M.... ....

    Play at 1.25 speed.
    Thank me later.

    M.... ....

    Thanks! a year later but it came, different song..

    M.... ....

    Kills the chill in this song doe, no thanks.

    M.... ....

    No way dude. Its essence vanishes!

  62. J.... P....

    masterpiece :)
    Ride Rules!!!!!!

  63. E.... c....

    in my place..

  64. k.... ....

    I want this and "in a different place." Played at my funeral… along with Territorial Pissings by nirvana or something to make it awkward as hell…

    k.... ....

    Very good hear this, long live to the good rock n roll!!!

    k.... ....

    +Seemöve ssz it will live on until the earths end

    k.... ....

    "fodderstompf" by PiL should cover your awkward needs :P

  65. G.... 5....

    Timeless...

  66. S.... K....

    The song of the next decade of my life.

  67. S.... P....

    I have listen this band for the first time in 93, in that time i have 19 years old, I have 41 today, good songs never get in older, never die, time pass and they stay strong like the first time that I have listened, congratulations!!!
    P.S.: Sorry my bad english, I am Brasilian, peace, love & health to all.

    S.... P....

    nice !! i found this sound around 2009-ish.. im 25 yrs old now

    S.... P....

    @Sporkonafork1 14

    S.... P....

    @kirsten 14

    S.... P....

    Music is the universal language homie.

    S.... P....

    Seemöve Projekt I agree . I fell in love with Ride in 2003 . This is my utmost favorite of all Ride tunes .

  68. T.... S....

    another reason to live are this six minutes

    T.... S....

    Absolutely beautifully said. True dat.

  69. T.... ....

    Lol Coldplay really stole this song for "in my place"

    T.... ....

    sure did!

    T.... ....

    +TheCivildecay Coldplay seem to be serial offenders - Computer Love (Kraftwerk) v Talk, Santana, etc. This song does remind me of Janes Addiction Up the Beach however....

    T.... ....

    Definitely this song is much better if course

    T.... ....

    Coldplay is horrible!!! 8).

    T.... ....

    Omg is true

  70. A.... P....

    Perfect sound! Awesome

  71. P.... C....

    I had been to a show down off Elm, maybe before...or maybe after the R.H.P. show at Clearview, maybe '92, to see Ride.  With the Pale Saints.  Or some other band.  Maybe His Name Is Alive.  

    And I was living off Oram St. in Dallas, at Matilda.  I remember being out back of Deep Ellum Live and this kid didn't like my nose, and I told him back up....you English slut.

    I cold-cocked him in his vag, and moved on.

  72. B.... ....

    Reminds me summer 1990 or 1991...I had this song on an old cassette in my Renault super 5...

    B.... ....

    Wow I'm with u mate. Memories of a time when it felt anything was possible. Sweet serenatey away from new media and mobile phones.

    B.... ....

    me too mate, Sept 1990 i saw them in Dublin, happy innocent times. by God they were loud tho..my ears were shredded

  73. c.... ....

    Great to hear the intro to this being used on Eurosport's Watts this week for a Luge Doubles clip :-)

  74. M.... W....

    when the loud part comes...

    M.... W....

    Described my love of the band, oh and have a nice life yoo

  75. C.... T....

    Quintessentially an English sound. This album and "Going Blank Again" are, in my humble opinion, the 2 greatest records ever written! Thank you Ride!

    C.... T....

    Chris Taylor no its a British sound....
    Andy and Mark have Welsh and Irish heritage respectively

  76. M.... ....

    This is one of the most JUST songs I have ever heard … 

  77. h.... z....

    what a album, lovely!!

  78. N.... S....

    I often think I am sad I missed out on the generation that had Grand Funk, Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac etc then I remind myself of seeing Ride live in 1992 and forget all that - best lyrics ever on an album is Nowhere!

  79. P.... K....

    I swear Coldplay or someone post-britpop has ripped off this song.

    P.... K....

    @ditimely It's true, the resemblance is uncanny...

    P.... K....

    Apparently nobody in this thread has listened to When The Leeve Breaks. If borrowing an iconic drum break means stealing then Ride stole this song from Led Zeppelin

    P.... K....

    @May Davies Yep, dear quintessential Ride it is. Glistering & shimmering!!

    P.... K....

    The 1st time I heard this song I already noticed the resemblance.

    P.... K....

    Apparently people here have no notion of what a rip off is 🙄

  80. R.... d....

    One of the best album of rock.

  81. g.... ....

    Ride managed to distill all my favourite bands into one album and made the sound their own. Thanks for posting.
