Ride Or Die

In 'Ride Or Die,' Baby Queen delves into the complexities of unrequited love and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The song's lyrics are rich with metaphors and musical references, such as comparing the act of playing with someone's emotions to playing a piano and setting their heartbeat to an allegro tempo. This imagery suggests a sense of control and manipulation, as the protagonist tries to win over someone who is emotionally unavailable or involved with another person.

The recurring theme of mystery and the need for a savior or a chaser highlights the protagonist's desire to be indispensable to the object of their affection. Lines like 'You need somebody to save, I need somebody to chase' reveal a dynamic where both parties are seeking something more profound, albeit in different ways. The protagonist's willingness to be a 'ride or die' signifies a deep commitment and readiness to go to great lengths for the person they love, even if it means enduring emotional pain.

The song also touches on the internal conflict and self-doubt experienced by the protagonist. Phrases like 'Who was I before you, I don't know' and 'Every time you haunt me I wonder why' indicate a struggle with identity and self-worth, exacerbated by the unreciprocated feelings. Despite the emotional rollercoaster, the protagonist remains hopeful and persistent, believing that they can offer something unique and transformative to the person they adore. This blend of vulnerability and determination makes 'Ride Or Die' a poignant exploration of love's more challenging aspects.
