About This Track

'Ox4' by Ride is a 1992 alternative track from 'Going Blank Again'. The lyrics place a speaker in a claustrophobic emotional state, looking for a way out of a room that feels unendurable. There is a restless, half-urgent logic to the lines, moving from the sensation of being too far away to the idea of crawling to a door, as thoughts slip away and the mind starts to pick up the pieces. One repeated phrase, “far away”, underlines the distance between where the speaker is and where they want to be.

"Ox4" is a track by Ride, from the album Going Blank Again, released 9th March 1992. The track is 7:01 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ride.

Lyrics

Ox4

Never been so far away
I don't think I want to stay in this room anymore

If I crawl across the floor
Then I'd be closer to that door, it's too far

Never been so far away
Just lost the last thought in my head, what happens now?

Some fantasy you've been
Pick up the pieces in my mind, I'm going home
