El Camino
Revving Life's Engine: A Journey Through Blind Velvet's 'El Camino'
Lyrics
I'm a man
I identify as a man
I'm a man man man
Emphasizing my masculinity
I'm a real bad man
Describing myself as a tough and dangerous individual
I'm a man with a plan
Asserting that I have a well-thought-out plan
I'm a man
Reiteration of my identity as a man
with a full gas can
Stating that I have a full gas can
I'm a man
Reaffirming my identity as a man
with a full gas can in my hand
Highlighting that I have a full gas can in my hand
I'ma fly
Expressing my intention to fly
I'ma fly fly fly
Emphasizing my desire to fly
I'ma fly fly fly
Repetition of the desire to fly
I'ma fly through the sky
Expressing the act of flying through the sky
I'ma man
Reiteration of my identity as a man
I'ma man man man
Emphasizing my masculinity again
No I'm never gonna die
Claiming that I will never die
No I'm never gonna die
Repetition of the claim that I will never die
Driving my El Camino
Describing the action of driving an El Camino
Flying my brand new ride
Indicating the enjoyment of a new vehicle
Diving like a torpedo
Comparing the act of diving to a torpedo, possibly implying a reckless or fast-paced lifestyle
Dying tonight
Suggesting a dangerous situation or potential demise
Big mouth
Referring to oneself as having a big mouth
Was a good Boy Scout
Recalling a past association with the Boy Scouts, indicating a history of being prepared
Like it all worked out
Expressing satisfaction that things seemed to have worked out
Till it all went down
Describing a downturn in circumstances
Had a job
Indicating previous employment
Had a five room house
Mentioning the possession of a five-room house
Wore suit, wore a tie
Describing a formal and professional appearance
Till the shit went south
Explaining that circumstances took a negative turn
I'ma fly
Reiterating the desire to fly
I'ma fly fly fly
Emphasizing the desire to fly once again
I'ma fly fly fly
Repetition of the desire to fly
I'ma fly through the sky
Expressing the act of flying through the sky once more
I'ma man
Reiteration of my identity as a man
I'ma man man man
Emphasizing my masculinity in a repetitive manner
No I'm never gonna die
Claiming that I will never die once again
No I'm never gonna die
Repetition of the claim that I will never die
Driving my El Camino
Describing the action of driving an El Camino
Flying my brand new ride
Indicating the enjoyment of a new vehicle
Diving like a torpedo
Comparing the act of diving to a torpedo, possibly implying a reckless or fast-paced lifestyle
Dying tonight
Suggesting a dangerous situation or potential demise
