What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
sometimes i can't afford to backslide
2
i've been mining through my boyhood fantasies
3
and finding that some of them still feel good to me
4
still fit perfectly, working like a charm
5
draped around my shoulders, old friends keep me warm
6
in my parents car
7
five full years of screaming with the stereo up
8
so when i run i just push pedals, my feet barely budge
9
i've trid keeping the world out
10
of my sovereign nation statino wagon
11
the place where i felt safe to keep moving
12
the scenery changes so i don't have to
13
i still can't drink, stil convinced
14
if i can't do it myself doing it's worthless
15
cuz the world will come out in the end from under
16
you set yourself up when you're counting on others
17
i'm not sad, i'm passed desensitized
18
friends drop like flies and cut their own lines
19
and at the end of the day it's just me and my flat line
20
send electricity, let me not smile
21
let something puncture the numbing force field
22
we erected young men to prtect how we feel
23
i've been mining by boyhood dreams
24
and i found one that never made sense to me
25
up until now
26
that car takes a corner carelessly
27
tearing its wheels from the street
28
from the air to the trees by the side of the road
29
twisted heaps of debris, shine of glass
30
and the cold wet grass on my face
31
some blood in my mouth, the taste washed out
32
by the headlights passing on by
33
i'm lying, resting in the wreckage
34
half asleep and completely defenceless
35
no proection from scavengers, weather
36
and a few days of rain
37
which worsens the smell of it all
38
but no one complains, a crew will be called
39
to scrape these remains eventually
40
some cars slow down and kids crane their necks to see
41
most just swerve left unimpressed, forgetting me
42
you can make your very own poison, despicable man
43
begin by keeping him a boy for as long as you can
44
and when the voice in his head says that everything's wrong
45
let him think we'd convinced but only with the right song
