Lyrics

It's Saturday night

Reflecting on the events happening on a Saturday night.

Drivin' so high

Driving while under the influence.

I'm noticing all the warning signs

Noticing signs of trouble or danger.

A hundred and five

Having a high temperature of 105 degrees.

A temperature rise

Referencing a temperature rise.

A hundred (?) the space and time

Feeling disoriented or detached from reality.


I'm take the Five

Choosing to take the Five freeway.

Desert's so dry

Noting the dryness of the desert.

I'm focusing on the wobbly line

Focusing on a wavering or uncertain path.

On the decline

Experiencing a decline or deterioration.

I caught the wheel

Taking control of the steering wheel.

Idling cages rattling in my ears

Hearing the sound of idling cages, possibly metaphorical for inner turmoil.


And when your soul is in too deep

Describing a state where one's soul is deeply troubled.

And in the sun you cannot breath

Struggling in difficult circumstances, perhaps related to being exposed to the sun.

Your dark secrets wash up underneath

Revelation of hidden or private troubles.

Better close my eyes

Choosing to close one's eyes, possibly to avoid facing reality.

But I've been losing sleep

Expressing the difficulty of finding rest due to internal struggles.


And now those nightmares come awake

Nightmares becoming a reality, causing distress.

I don't know how much I can intake

Uncertain about one's capacity to endure difficulties.

In my brain arousing, a soft word beat

A rhythmic or persistent disturbance in the mind.

Locking down my eyes

Closing one's eyes as a way to cope or escape.

But I've been losing sleep

Continuing to struggle with sleeplessness.

Been losing sleep

Reiteration of the ongoing struggle and impact on sleep.

Been losing sleep
