Lyrics
Drive 90 miles an hour just to not be stuck between
Driving at a high speed to avoid feeling stuck or stagnant.
My cold streak creates ice behind me
The speaker's lack of success is evident, leaving a cold trail of disappointment.
So all this driving back and forth is bound to get deadly
Frequent driving may lead to dangerous consequences, symbolizing a risky lifestyle.
I seem better, I'm just used to it
The speaker has faced challenges before and has become accustomed to them.
But I don't wanna stay centered on myself all winter and cancel all my plans
Expressing a desire not to focus solely on oneself during the winter and avoiding canceling plans.
But I'm fine
Despite challenges, the speaker asserts that they are okay.
I'm content with my nights in
Content with spending nights indoors.
Content with my loose ends
Acceptance of unresolved issues.
Save face, stay oscillating
Preserving one's reputation by remaining in a state of fluctuation or change.
If I act like I don't care, I stay safe from failing
Acting indifferent as a defense mechanism to avoid the risk of failure.
But I
Interruption, possibly leading to an unspoken consequence.
Drive 90 miles an hour just to not be stuck between
Reiteration of the theme of fast driving to escape feeling trapped.
I've traded progress for comfort
Choosing comfort over progress, making sacrifices for stability.
Clear lungs for sanity
Opting for mental well-being over clear lungs, possibly alluding to the effects of stress on physical health.
And the novelty of how you felt about me for constant anxiety
Trading the positive feelings someone had for the speaker with ongoing anxiety.
Save face, stay oscillating
Repeating the theme of maintaining a certain image to avoid vulnerability.
If I act like I don't care, I stay safe from failing
Continuing the act of indifference as a defense mechanism.
But I
Reiteration of an interruption or obstacle in the speaker's life.
Drive 90 miles an hour just to not be stuck between
Repeating the idea of high-speed driving to escape feeling trapped or confined.
Leave the fan on when you leave my bedroom
Leaving a fan on in the bedroom, perhaps as a symbol of maintaining a connection or presence.
I follow suit and push air around the room
Imitating someone else's behavior in an attempt to cope with a situation.
'Til I'm choking
Feeling overwhelmed to the point of choking due to indifference and routine.
On all of my indifference and all your routine
Indifference and routine are affecting the speaker's mental state.
Conquering my head and keeping me in bed
Struggling with thoughts and emotions, preventing the speaker from getting out of bed.
Conquering my head and keeping me in bed
Continued internal struggles keeping the speaker confined to bed.
