Gasoline
Fueling Dissent: Exploring the Depths of Discord in Brad Sucks' Gasoline
Lyrics
Every time we disagree
Expressing a recurring disagreement or conflict.
There's a place you go to
Describing a psychological or emotional space one retreats to during disagreements.
Because i drove you there
Claiming responsibility for causing the other person to retreat to that emotional space.
Well i took more than i could take
Acknowledging taking more emotional toll than one can handle.
I went underground
Retreating emotionally, possibly isolating oneself.
And i got carried away
Indicating a loss of control or being carried away by emotions.
I put my hand on the gasoline
Symbolizing a self-destructive action, using "gasoline" metaphorically.
Then i'm gone where i can be seen no more
Choosing to disappear or withdraw from visibility.
You said you remembered how it used to be
Recalling a past time when the relationship was different.
And then i awoke
Waking up to the current reality, possibly a less favorable one.
A buried homebody
Feeling confined or restricted in one's own environment.
The doctor says i could face the day
Receiving advice or assurance from a professional (doctor) about facing challenges.
When you're not around
Expressing difficulty coping when the other person is absent.
But there ain't no place i'm safe
Feeling a lack of safety or security in any given place.
I put my hand on the gasoline
Repeating the metaphorical use of "gasoline" as a destructive element.
Then i'm gone where i can be seen no more
Reiterating the desire to disappear or avoid visibility.
