About This Track

'Kill Switch' by Ride is an alternative track from the album 'This Is Not a Safe Place' (2019). The lyrics stage a hard-edged confrontation, painting a series of escalating breakdowns until “Hit the kill switch”, as questions turn to who keeps talking over everyone when the game is up. It sounds like a demand to stop the noise and let the truth land, with the repeated talk of stages and crashes giving the whole piece an ultimatum feel.

"Kill Switch" is a track by Ride, from the album This Is Not a Safe Place, released 15th August 2019. The track is 2:46 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ride.

Lyrics

Kill Switch

When it hits the fan
Jeopardy crashes the wars you wage
When the truth gets served
The game is up, you go down in the next stage
This party's nearly done
I wanna kill your sound, make the right noise
Hit the kill switch
So what do you do?
When you're not talking over everyone?
What do you do
When you're not just playing up your own game
This party's nearly done
And there's nothing on you, not a stitch
I wanna kill your sound, make the right noise
Hit the kill switch
This party's nearly done
And there's nothing on you, not a stitch
I wanna kill your sound, make the right noise
Hit the kill switch
Hit the kill switch
Hit the kill switch
Hit the kill switch
I wanna kill your sound, make the right noise
Hit the kill switch
