About This Track

'Pulsar' by Ride is an alternative track from 'Tomorrow's Shore - EP' (2018). The lyrics move through a long-distance frustration and an almost tender persistence, with the speaker returning to the hope that something bright might finally reach the other person, even as summer cools and moves away. There is a sense of being blocked from visibility, yet still “still shimmer holding out”, beaming from afar. The tone is wistful and self-reproachful, repeating the idea that the moment keeps slipping out of reach.

"Pulsar" is a single by Ride, from the album Tomorrow's Shore - EP, released 16th February 2018. The track is 4:22 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ride.

Lyrics

Pulsar

You can never see me shine like I always wanted you to
There's something in the way
Or you miss it again and again
Still shimmer holding out, always beaming over to you
So very far away
I hope it gets there still

Like the summer always fades and the wind gets cool on your skin
You know that something was, will never be again
We glimmer in the dark of a life we haven't known
Sometimes another one can let you know that you're there

Always keep your eyes on the pulsar
Guiding you home from wherever you are
We're on our way home from another star
It's been so long and we've come so far
We've come so far
