Tally Hall - Taken for a Ride | COLOR-CODED LYRICS 

Ross really does the best singing

I love how Ross is just a drummer

I just imagine the members singing there hearts out while Ross is just staring at the audience with the most tired and deadpan face ever

Gotta say, Ross is really spitting facts here

Joe and Rob may have Great songs, but Andrew's are extremely lit

_Ross is poppin' OFF_

I absolutely LOVE how welcome to tally hall transitions perfectly into this song

This is the 4th song on the album, is 4:44 seconds long, and 4 people are singing. Perfection

duuude, im always here to appreciate such a unique lyric video that not only covers the lyrics but also the vocal harmony. You must have recognized the voices of each member of the band at the back of your hand. Can't wait for Ross' box to glow up for Mucka Blucka :)

I love the part where Ross said "🥁"

we love andrew

They are so good at harmonizing and singing together that sometimes you can barely tell that it’s everyone singing and not just one person. Beautiful

was not expecting to see "1 hour ago" as the upload date

i think this is the only song that almost all the members have sang in

Am I the only one who thinks this one of three best Tally Hall songs ever?

i swear it's definitely "though chemistry is gone" not "the chemistry is gone", but this is so accurate you mightve been in the studio when they recorded this

really love the detail on putting exclamation marks on joe's lyrics during the second chorus :D

4:09 I missheard this lyrics as "Thanos's secrets in the door"

this channel my beloved

The lyrics ross sings are how exciting my life is right now

The comments lied when they said Ross was gonna sing. *My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.*

Even Andrew got to sing Poor roos man

i love seeing Andrews window light up 😭

I like when Ross said: “ “

Joe's vocals at the end are so amazing. Nobody ever talks about them !!!

so that’s what Andrew’s voice sounds like

This song is so devastatingly gargantuicly eccentricly wonderfabulous.

Why does "the chemistry is gone; taken for a ride" kinda make me feel like crying...

Ross's voice is so touching wish more hally tall songs had ross in them

The alternation of speeds absolutely makes this song. This entire album is make of magic. Also I had no idea there were so many singers! Thanks for the lyrics. One of the song whose lyrics are worth looking up.

These videos are how I discover more and more of Tally Hall's songs.

Andrew FINALLY says something for god’s sake

this song hits so hard, as i see it, the song talks about someone that lost the will to live

Ross's lines were my favorite

People joke about Ross' lack of vocals, but they forget that Mucka Blucka exists

Ross should've sung when everyone else sung at the same time. Like, Ross never sings, but neither does Andrew, and they made him the main singer in this song.

joe was pouring his heart and soul OUT in the second chorus

Yooo I got into a car wreck while this was playing a couple weeks ago Whole car flipped but I left completely uninjured somehow

3:08 THIS PART HAS ME LEVITATING

Zubin is *WAY* to underrated, he's voice is the Best one among (us) Tally Hall

Ok but the final little musical note after "But you're gone" is so good

My favorite from MMMM

Damn, ross really said " ."

That joe solo is so fire 🔥

What is the meaning of Taken For a Ride? I broadly agree with people who say it's about getting over depression. But however the interesting part about the song is that the hinted at cause of depression changes each verse, and a lot of the song places emphasis on not overthinking stuff to be happy. In the first verse, the character isn't depressed due to something bad happening, rather, they are just searching for some higher happiness that isn't there, and even though they are happy, or at least fine, they don't realise this and search for 'true' happiness, spiraling them into despair when they don't find it. Next verse I want to draw your attention to the line: 'Lonely paperbacks that wanted just a taste of feeling to implode them before living' I believe that this cause of depression is a sort of sensual depression, where sort of nothing feels as good or as fulfilling or just as much feeling at all, as it should. It sort of says if the character got just a taste of the feeling that they had before, that it would be so much compared to their current, bleak, disconnected existence, it would figuratively implode them. Basically, the character thinks they should feel more, well, feeling, more sensation, than they do whenever they do stuff that used to feel fulfilling and looking for that, they find no way to increase this, leading to depression. I also see that the word lonely implies that the things that would feel fulfilling are social interactions, and meaningful conversations with other people, and either the character doesn't know about this and tries to stay away from people, or just is a social outcast who does want to join in and interact, which of course being rejected socially would lead to more sadness. The chorus is mainly about getting over all this depression, but: 'The chemistry is gone, taken for a ride, far away from you, no longer left inside' Really stuck out to me. I think that 'the chemistry is gone' and 'far away from you' hint at post breakup depression, which means more heterophonic tunes of how love bites, and another hinted at cause of sadness. Then the final verse, I think this one especially is about overthinking, and overall the main message of the song. I think everything apart from the first line hint at this, and I'll give explanations for all of them. 'Or is it just we all think that our answer isn't real it's just a picture of a letter' This is about wondering whether anything we do or say, or even us (our 'answers' so to speak) is real and meaningful, and whether it's futile to try and do or not. 'Bumble mumble make the rounds no matter what you'll seem profound it's useless just to worry, Something normal happens somewhere far away in clouds so please stop thinking this is happy' Clearly to me at least, this is just summarizing and telling the sad character that it is utterly useless and futile to worry and overthink, especially when it comes to stuff like the last line we covered, and the nature of reality. The last line of this excerpt also makes me believe it talks about not worrying what everyone is doing, or what's happening with someone else or somewhere far away, and to just focus on yourself. Additionally, the first 2 words 'bumble mumble' make me think that the song is also saying don't try to figure out what everything means and ascribe some higher meaning to everything. Some things are just gibberish, or not worth going into deeper detail about. Speaking of, as for 'Listening to painted whispered light on top forgotten hill' I think it's complete gibberish, real Tally Hall style. I think that Taken For A Ride is a story of despair, presented in a happy tone, about a character being driven into depression by a multitude of factors, such as overthinking and worrying, which then led to more negative consequences such as their partner leaving them and them being rejected by society, sending them deeper into despair, and potentially recovering at the end. In short, Joe Hawley origin story.

ross is just a drummer

didnt know that andrew was a robot. shaking and crying rn

Ross must be so fit from carrying this whole band goddamn 😳

Ross honestly sings the best part of the song

I was hoping you'd make more, but all the one month ago's made me worried you had released three and then vanished.(I don't tend to check the dates on videos :p)

Ross’s lyrics are on screen but they’re color coded white against a white background so you can’t see it

Ross truly has a voice like that of angels. Used so well in this song❤ he really sings amazingly.

I can't imagine how fucking focused Ross is on the drums

This one has the most confusing lyrics, with the way it's edited. I was able to work out a lot of Ruler of Everything, Banana Man, Greener, etc. but this one I still have a hard time with

As a former kpop fan these colour coded videos give me flash backs- imagine being like, “ who’s ur tally hall bias” anyways 🏃‍♂️

Don’t worry guys will finally get to see Ross sing in the Mucka Blucka lyric video

**sniff** wow, Ross does the most truly inspirational singing ever 😢

ROSS' VOICE IS SO GOOD IN THIS LIKE HE HITS THE VOCAL NOTES SO WELL!!

WAIT ANDREW ACTUALLY SINGING FOR ONCE!!!!????

Andy's voice is so nice :)

the "dont look so sad" part gives me GOOSEBUMPS!

i genuinely love this song so much aaa

About time Andrew! LOL

Who else rly felt it when ross says " " Tbh brought tears to my eyes😔

this is my favourite tally hall song

I love Ross's singing

I imagined a music video for this song about a guy who has had a very tragic life and turns ot crime and ends up robbing a bank and killing someone. Might make an animation concept of it or somthing idk.

Dude I'm so happy there's stuff coming out revolving around tally hall other than the ruler of everything meme 🤣 thank you so much for this lol

Yay my fav song from their entire discography!

I felt like listening 3 different genre into this songs, the power of Tally Hall ig

ross going " " was the best part
