[Intro]
\nRiding the wave (form)
\n(How to behave) Swarm
\n… found…
\n(On a buzzy sound)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRide, ride, ride
\n(On the sharp side)
\nRead the sine
\n(Forget the gentle hill)
\nInstill fulfill!<\/p>\n

[Verse]
\nA steady ramp up (or down)
\n(Get down sound found)
\n… followed by an instant drop
\nOr surprise!
\n(Rise)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRiding the wave (form)
\n(How to behave) Swarm
\n… found…
\n(On a buzzy sound)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nRide, ride, ride
\n(On the sharp side)
\nRead the sine
\n(Forget the gentle hill)
\nInstill fulfill!<\/p>\n

[Verse]
\nSteady Eddie… ramp up (get down)
\nDown, down, down
\n… (Pop!) an instant drop
\nOr surprise!
\n(All rise)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nRiding the wave (form)
\n(How to behave) Swarm
\n… found…
\n(On a buzzy sound)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nTo tell the truth…
\n(I saw the sawtooth)
\nI love the ride
\n(Ride, ride, ride)
\nRide, ride, ride
\n(On the sharp side)
\nI read the sine
\n(All’s fine)
\nSometimes…
\n… in he sign<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nSine and sawtooth waves are two distinct periodic waveforms, with the sine wave being a pure, fundamental tone (like a whistle) and the sawtooth wave being rich in harmonics, creating a bright, buzzy sound (like a violin bow), differing primarily in their harmonic content and shape, with sine being smooth and sawtooth being sharp\/jagged. Sine waves have only the fundamental frequency, while sawtooth waves contain all integer harmonics, making them sound fuller and richer.<\/p>\n

Sine Wave
\n* Shape: Smooth, rounded, like a single, gentle hill.
\n* Harmonics: Contains only the fundamental frequency (no overtones).
\n* Sound: Pure, clean, basic tone (e.g., tuning fork, pure whistle).<\/p>\n

Sawtooth Wave
\n* Shape: A steady ramp up (or down) followed by an instant drop (or rise), resembling a saw’s edge.
\n* Harmonics: Contains the fundamental frequency plus all its integer harmonics (multiples).
\n* Sound: Bright, rich, buzzy, and full, used for strings, brass, and pads.<\/p>\n
