The Saddest Thing I Know
Awakening from the Chaos: The Saddest Revelations
Lyrics
How long you been asleep at the wheel?
Questioning how long the person has been negligent or unaware of their actions.
Out of control, gathering up speed
Describing a situation where things are chaotic and accelerating uncontrollably.
Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street
Metaphorically depicting a disconnected state where emotions (heart) and thoughts (head) are disjointed.
I hope that you wake up in time to scream
Expressing a hope that the person realizes the severity of the situation before it's too late.
Race me for tail or for hits
Proposing a competition for attention or success.
Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead
Criticizing a negative attitude and unfulfilled promises.
You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs
Highlighting a self-destructive behavior involving substances and risky activities.
It's not what you did, it's what you will do
Emphasizing that the concern is about future actions rather than past deeds.
So take another turn on the merry-go-round
Encouraging the person to make a change in their repetitive and unproductive cycle.
Your numbers are come up now your king of the town
Describing a moment of success or recognition, possibly sarcastically.
So buckle up and chase yourself a new thrill
Encouraging the person to seek new experiences and excitement.
You're never gonna feel like before
Suggesting that returning to past experiences won't bring back the same feelings.
You keep coming back for more
Highlighting a recurring pattern of seeking more despite previous dissatisfaction.
To find me almost knocking on your door
Indicating a close encounter or consequence that the person is about to face.
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
Labeling the person as the saddest thing known, possibly due to their self-destructive behavior.
You got a cold sweat begging for the score
Describing a state of desperation or anxiety.
You lose it all as you stumble to the floor
Depicting a significant loss or downfall resulting in a fall to the ground.
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
Reiterating the label of the person as the saddest thing known.
You keep coming up for air
Describing a struggle for survival or escape.
To find your own foot pushing on your head
Highlighting internal conflict, where one's actions negatively affect themselves.
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
Reiterating the label of the person as the saddest thing known.
I see the dried up lotus(?) in your hair
Observing a symbolic representation of decay or loss in the person's appearance.
You got the old kaleidoscopic stare
Describing a vacant or detached gaze.
Say man you are the saddest thing I know
Reiterating the label of the person as the saddest thing known.
When you gonna finally admit
Prompting the person to acknowledge the negative state they are in.
It's the end of the line you've been hammered and hit
Declaring a point of no return, where the person has faced significant challenges.
Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss
Describing physical and mental deterioration.
I know what you want I think this is it
Expressing an understanding of the person's desires, possibly for a change.
