"In Stride" lyrics

"In Stride"

You can panic you can burrow and wait
Impending doom is always on the take
One day you'll wake up it'll be too late
You didn't take it all in stride

You can tremble as you fear for your life
You can bitch about the sign of the times
But the truth is that you gotta decide
If you're only wasting your life

Cool down baby ya know
You're gonna burn out in time
Sometimes ya gotta let go
And just open your mind

Take it all in stride

The talking head he said the end is near
He got your number but I stay cavalier
Don't waste your time baby living in fear
You gotta take it all in stride

You can fortify your house on the hill
For fear the zombies gonna come for the kill
You're prepping like a fool but you know the drill
And now you're fit to be tied

Yeah, you are

Cool down baby ya know
You're gonna burn out in time
Sometimes you gotta let go
And just open your mind

It ain't no crime to behold
A little beauty sometimes

Pull yourself from below
And just step to the light
And just take it all in stride

Ain't no point why you wasting
All your time commiserating
With all the ghosts you never come to find

And just live your life
You know I'm right
Goddamn I'm right

Cool down baby ya know
You're gonna burn out in time
Sometimes ya gotta let go
And just open your mind

It ain't no crime to behold
A little beauty sometimes

Pull yourself from below
And just step to the light
And just take it all in stride

And just take it all in stride
And just take it all in stride

"In Stride" is the debut single from Myles Kennedy's second studio album "The Ides Of March". The song was premiered on February 15, 2021, accompanied by a music video.
Explaining this single's theme, Myles Kennedy said, "Chill out. That pretty much sums it up. The lyric paints a picture of a survivalist preparing for an impending zombie apocalypse. It was inspired by the first wave of lockdowns as everyone was buying vast amounts of toilet paper and supplies. I started to ask myself if it might be wise to try and gain some perspective and not overreact… keep calm and carry on."
