At face value about the desire to seek ever-increasing amusement park thrills at the risk of safety, “Only a Ride” envisages itself as a stolen car joyride ending in tragedy (c.f. the music video), a metaphor for the fate of the unexamined life (“Where did my head go?”).

Only a Ride Lyrics
Are we not on a holiday?
Aren't we entitled to thrills?
Didn't we pay to be entertained?
I signed a waiver that kills
Standing on the deck of the unknown
Waiting on the drop of the bar
I got a pass and a permanent scar
I got the front seat covered
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
Keep your feet in
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it's only a ride
Why am I bleedin'?
I got me so much amusement
I can't stomach no more
My knees scrapin' the ceiling
My knuckles draggin' the floor
How's a body pay you to stop this?
Every other turn is a blur
Every other word is a curse
But I like being first
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
It's what you're needin'
Only a ride
Only a ride
If it's only a ride
Why am I bleedin'?
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
Get your seat low
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it's only a ride
Where did my head go?
Thought I saw the devil you know
Waiting for something to fall
I got nothin' and no one to call
But I'm stuck in first, y'all
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
Set your sights low
Only a ride
It's only a ride
If it's only a ride
Where did my head go?
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
It's what you're needin'
Only a ride
Only a ride
It's only a ride
Why am I bleedin'?
