In a post published on the Lodestone, Final Fantasy XIV community team member Voltenyne published the official lyrics to “Ride the Rhythm,” one of the tracks from the Arcadion raid series. Specifically, the song can be heard during Dancing Green’s boss fight, in the AAC Cruiseweight – M1 duty.
According to Voltenyne, more official lyrics of the other matches will be revealed in future posts of the Lodestone. Now, I must confess: I never really thought Dancing Green’s theme had lyrics, but evidently, you can make out some faint words if you hear closely. You can view the official lyrics below:
Final Fantasy XIV – Ride the Rhythm Official Lyrics
Get down, turn it up
Take it off, have some fun
Break out, try your luck
Don’t stop ’til the morning comes
You just got to believe
Seein’s believin’ now, baby
No one said that life’d be easy
Workin’ hard from nine to five
Grindin’ daily, nightly, weekly
Turn to the left to the right
Ain’t no end in sight
City breakin’, people shakin’
Sellin’ low and buyin’ high
Brothers, mothers, lovers, lately
Everybody’s tired
Just tryin’ to stay alive
Shed your skin tonight
We’re all waiting here for you
In the ring tonight
Hey now, what you got to lose?
Get down, turn it up
Take it off, have some fun
Break out, try your luck
Don’t stop ’til the morning comes
Rough-house, stand your ground
Fisticuffs, get your fix
Showdown, final round
Free-for-all, this is it!
You’re lookin’ for a change of pace
To move and groove and celebrate
The music’s loud, our spirits free
We’ve everything you’ll ever need
Lift them faces up high
All of my ladies
Why you standin there?
Got them good times, get ’em here
Lace them Aces up, tight
All of my mates, yeah
Why you standin’ there?
Ride that rhythm, ride it here
Come find something special
Something unexpected
Up here on top of the world tonight
No, you won’t regret it
So forget your worries
Go on and lose your mind
Find you’re something special
In a word, perfection
Up here on top of the world tonight
Find that true connection
Go on make your move and watch it change your life
No one said that life’d be easy
Workin’ hard from nine to five
Grindin’ daily, nightly, weekly
Turn to the left to the right
Ain’t no end in sight
So much time spent chasin’ rainbows
And wonderin’ on the other side
To life’s illusions, why not let go?
Kiss that you goodbye
There’s no more need to hide
Shed your skin tonight
In the ring tonight
Come find something special
Something unexpected
Up here on top of the world tonight
No, you won’t regret it
So forget your worries
Go on and lose your mind
Find you’re something special
In a word, perfection
Up here on top of the world tonight
Find that true connection
Go on make your move and watch it change your life
You just got to believe
Seein’s believin’ now, baby
You just got to believe
Seein’s believin’ now, baby
