The Rip explores the concept of human mortality and the inevitable passing of time. The song’s lyrics delve into the bittersweet realization that everything eventually fades away, including relationships and cherished memories. The melancholic tone of the music perfectly accompanies the existential questioning of the fleeting nature of life itself. Through its evocative lyrics and haunting melodies, The Rip encourages listeners to ponder the transitory nature of existence.

As she walks in the room, scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself, and the bitterness I felt
I realize that love flows
Wild white horses, they will take me away
And my tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life, I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over
Wild white horses, they will take me away
And my tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
Wild white horses, they will take me away
And my tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
