Car Sex
Escape from Concrete Chains
Lyrics
Back around to the edge of town
Returning to the outskirts of the town
Hear the sound, same old tired ground
Hearing the familiar, monotonous noise of the area
Aging streets that saw my hair turn gray
Referring to the aging roads where experiences led to aging
Traffic light on dirty pavement glowing in the rain
Seeing a traffic light glowing on the dirty roads amidst rain
Looking out my window while this town dies in it's sleep
Observing the town's decline during nighttime
If I could be somebody else, I wouldn't have to leave
Expressing a desire to be someone else to avoid leaving
I can stay another night if you can share you bed
Willingness to stay longer if there's companionship
When I wake, before I go, I'll help bury the dead
Symbolic willingness to assist before departing
Sex and scars, too much time in bars
Linking experiences of intimacy with emotional scars and time spent in bars
Sleep in cars, dreaming in your arms
Desiring to sleep in cars while dreaming about a loved one
Dallas, Texas ripped my soul away
Mentioning a place (Dallas, Texas) that impacted the singer emotionally
If I had a job I'd buy a ticket to L.A.
Expressing a wish to move to Los Angeles if there were financial means
Looking out my window while this town dies in it's sleep
Repeated observation of the town's decline during nighttime
If I could be somebody else, I wouldn't have to leave
Desire to change identity to avoid leaving the place
I can stay another night if you can share you bed
Willingness to extend the stay with someone's companionship
When I wake, before I go, I'll help bury the dead
Symbolic commitment to assist before departing
Everywhere is the same
Expressing a feeling of similarity across different places
Everyone is the same
Noticing a similarity in people's behaviors or characteristics
Everything is the same
Highlighting the feeling of uniformity in everything
Everything is the same...
Reiteration of the feeling of uniformity or sameness
