Ride On

In 'Ride On,' Fun People delves into the complexities of growing up and the struggle to reclaim lost innocence. The song opens with a powerful metaphor, comparing 'la maza' (the mass) to 'corazones ciegos' (blind hearts), suggesting a society that smiles but cannot find true happiness. This imagery sets the tone for a critique of societal norms that have trivialized the dreams of the artist's childhood. The lyrics reflect a longing to return to a simpler, more joyful time, highlighting the tension between societal expectations and personal fulfillment.

The line 'Frivolizaron mis sueños de niño, y ahora trato de vivir mi infancia feliz' (They trivialized my childhood dreams, and now I try to live my childhood happily) speaks to the artist's attempt to reclaim the joy and innocence of youth. This sentiment is further emphasized by the discovery of 'your values,' which seems to have led the artist astray, causing them to 'pinchare mis ruedas' (puncture my wheels) to stop moving forward. The repetition of 'no more ride on ride on ride on' signifies a deliberate choice to halt the journey imposed by external influences and to seek a path that aligns more closely with their true self.

Fun People's punk rock roots are evident in the rebellious tone of the song, challenging the listener to question societal norms and rediscover their own values. The band's music often addresses themes of personal freedom and resistance, and 'Ride On' is no exception. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of staying true to oneself and the ongoing struggle to find happiness in a world that often prioritizes conformity over individuality.
