Don't Drink the Water

"Ryding Through the Times" is a progressive trance track that explores the journey through memory, emotion, and self-discovery. The lyrics blend spoken word and melodic choruses, reflecting on past experiences, inner transformation, and the rhythm of life. The narrator rides through time not to escape, but to awaken—embracing both the chaos and clarity of existence. With themes of resilience, reflection, and transcendence, the song captures a meditative yet driving energy, inviting listeners to move, think, and feel. The deep male voice adds gravity and intimacy, while the trance instrumentation builds a hypnotic, cinematic atmosphere.


Lyrics:

--

[Intro – Spoken Word, atmospheric pads, filtered kick]

`
I ride through echoes, through shadows of days  
Past lives flicker in neon haze  
Time’s not a line, it’s a loop, it’s a wave  
I’m not lost, I’m just brave
`

---

[Verse 1 – Spoken Word, bassline fades in]

`
Footsteps on pavement, stories in dust  
Moments forgotten, moments we trust  
Every beat is a breath, every breath is a sign  
I’m ryding through the times, not yours, but mine
`

---

[Chorus – Sung, wide synths, trance lead enters]

`
Ryding through the times, I feel the rhythm rise  
Underneath the stars, truth never lies  
Pulse in my chest, light in my eyes  
Ryding through the times, where silence flies
`

---

[Verse 2 – Spoken Word, acid riff builds]

`
I saw love in a glance, war in a scream  
Dreams that collapsed, dreams that redeem  
Voices of prophets, whispers of thieves  
All dancing beneath the autumn leaves

No destination, just vibration  
No salvation, just sensation  
I’m not chasing, I’m becoming  
Ryding through the times, the beat keeps drumming
`

---

[Break – Ambient pads, vocal chops, piano echoes]

(Instrumental suggestion: Filtered synths, reversed FX, vocal fragments “ryding… through…”)

---

[Chorus – Sung, layered harmonies, full drop]

`
Ryding through the times, I feel the rhythm rise  
Underneath the stars, truth never lies  
Pulse in my chest, light in my eyes  
Ryding through the times, where silence flies
`

---

[Verse 3 – Spoken Word, tension builds]

`
I ride through silence, through cities asleep  
Through secrets the night forgot to keep  
Truth in the static, hope in the hum  
The future is calling, but I won’t succumb

I’ve seen the rise, I’ve felt the fall  
Heard prophets whisper through concrete walls  
Time isn’t cruel, it’s just unaware  
Of how we dance, of how we dare

So I ride — not to escape, but to become  
A rhythm, a voice, a beat of the drum  
Ryding through the times, no need to rewind  
The past is a shadow, the present is mine
`

---

[Bridge – Sung, echo FX, synth swell]

`
Time bends, hearts mend  
We transcend, we ascend  
Ryding through the times... again and again...
`

---

[Final Chorus – Sung, euphoric drop]

`
Ryding through the times, I feel the rhythm rise  
Underneath the stars, truth never lies  
Pulse in my chest, light in my eyes  
Ryding through the times, where silence flies
