driving with the parking brake
Navigating the Night: Benny Solo's Struggle in a Lonely Drive
Lyrics
Out with
Feeling a sense of exclusion or disconnection
Out with people who don't seem to know me
Being around people who are unfamiliar or don't understand the speaker
They've all paired up and I'm left here so lonely, lonely
Observing others forming relationships while the speaker feels isolated
They buy me drinks
Receiving drinks from others
Then the night starts to move much more slowly
Time passing slowly, potentially due to discomfort or lack of connection
Maybe what I need is what I'm holding, holding
Considering that what the speaker already has might be sufficient
My head's so fucked I can hardly sleep
Feeling mentally distressed and having difficulty sleeping
Keep my shirt untucked I'm struggling to breathe
Physical and emotional tension, indicated by an untucked shirt and difficulty breathing
I'm not doing too great
Expressing a struggle or challenge in life
I haven't shaved in days
Neglecting personal grooming, potentially reflecting a decline in well-being
Might as well be the passenger
Choosing a passive role rather than actively participating in life
I'm driving with the parking brake
Driving metaphorically with obstacles hindering progress
Drive home
Heading home, possibly regretting leaving the previous location
Swerving through the lanes I guess I should've stayed
Driving erratically, expressing a sense of indecision or regret
I said I sobered up I lied right to her face
Lying about sobriety to someone close
But she was too messed up to notice anyway, anyway
Noticing the other person's intoxication, potentially justifying the lie
That's when I see I see I see a new light on the dashboard
Seeing a new warning or issue in life
I feel I feel I feel the car start to slow down
Sensing a slowdown or obstacle in life
I'm stranded on the street
Feeling stranded or stuck
Can't stand the summer heat
Expressing discomfort, possibly due to external factors
I miss the way that I used to be
Nostalgia for a previous state of being
My head's so fucked I can hardly sleep
Continued mental distress affecting sleep
Keep my shirt untucked I'm struggling to breathe
Physical discomfort and tension persisting
I'm not doing too great
Reiterating a challenging personal situation
I haven't shaved in days
Reflecting a decline in self-care
Might as well be the passenger
Choosing a passive role in life, like being a passenger
I'm driving with the parking brake
Re-emphasizing the metaphorical obstacles in life
When the sun gets low, my mind won't slow down
Difficulty calming the mind, especially during moments of rest
I hope all this is worth it somehow, worth it somehow, worth it somehow
Questioning the value or purpose of current struggles
When I'm alone, my silence makes sound
Loneliness and the speaker's internal thoughts become noticeable when alone
I hope all this is worth it somehow, worth it somehow, worth it somehow
Repeating the contemplation of whether the challenges are ultimately worthwhile
