One Last Time
Driving Through Shadows: A Journey of Reflection and Redemption
Lyrics
When I was young I did my time on the road
Reflecting on past experiences and time spent traveling in youth.
I had some scrapes and some close calls
Recalling challenging situations and near misses.
Learned a few things I never needed to know
Learning unnecessary lessons from the past.
I still remember it all
Retaining memories of all experiences.
I was a driver I had to stay awake
Being a vigilant driver and staying alert.
a lot of things that I tried
Trying various things in life.
Never loose never slowed down and never late
Maintaining a consistent pace without slowing down.
Time was on my side
Feeling that time was in abundance.
My hands started shaking on the steering wheel
Experiencing physical effects, possibly stress, or anxiety.
I was picking up speed
Speeding up and enjoying the sensation.
I like the way that feels
Appreciating the thrill of speed.
One last time
Expressing a desire for one final experience.
I was only looking for a way to stop myself from drifting over the line
Seeking a way to avoid crossing a metaphorical line in life.
On this very night ten years ago
Recalling a specific night a decade ago.
along this same stretch of road
Traveling the same road as a memorable past event.
I was hypnotized by the white line
Feeling captivated and mesmerized by a road marker.
goodnight Irene goodnight
Referencing a traditional farewell phrase.
Sunrise shining on the magic mile
Experiencing a beautiful sunrise on a significant road.
I tried to bring it on home but never made it home alive
Failing to reach home despite efforts.
One last time
Expressing a desire for one last significant experience.
I was only looking for a way to stop myself from drifting over the line
Reiterating the need to avoid crossing a metaphorical line.
cngels are singing but we hear them crying
Contrasting angelic singing with a sense of sadness.
telling us we're living but it feels like we're dying
Perceiving a contradiction between living and feeling alive.
looking for another way waiting for a better day
Waiting for a better day and seeking alternatives.
cngels are singing but we hear them crying
Repeating the contrast between angelic singing and crying.
One last time
Expressing the desire for one final experience.
I was only looking for a way to stop myself from drifting over the line
Continuing the theme of avoiding crossing a metaphorical line.
