Counting the Days
Counting Days: Life's Road, Love's Distance
Lyrics
Dreaming this vision, I'm lying next to you.
Dreaming of a vision where the speaker is lying next to someone.
At home in bed, I wish this were true.
Expressing a desire for the dream to be true while at home in bed.
5 months away, getting farther every day.
Being physically distant for 5 months, and the separation is increasing.
Life on the road! I long to see her face again.
Yearning to see the face of a loved one while on the road for life.
War in my head, of where should I be.
Internal conflict about where the speaker should be: on tour or with family.
Here on tour, or with my family.
Acknowledging family understanding and acceptance of the speaker's destiny.
They understand, that this is my destiny.
Staring at a pass, recognizing the inevitability of being on the road.
Stare at this pass I know, I'm counting the days again.
Counting the days until a reunion with the family.
30 more shows to go, then home to relax.
30 more shows before getting the opportunity to relax at home.
Been moving so fast, no time to reflect.
Moving quickly without time for self-reflection.
My back is sore, from banging my head.
Physical strain from intense performances, specifically headbanging.
Living on the road, is fun but tough. Its something we love, never get enough
Acknowledging the challenging and enjoyable aspects of life on the road.
To play on stage, fans go insane
Expressing the thrill of playing on stage and the enthusiastic fan response.
Staring at the clock, time goes so slow
Time feeling slow while on the road and staring at the clock.
A long drive ahead, to the next show
Anticipating a long drive to the next show.
Thrash this place tonight, pounding metal heads are banging
Describing an energetic performance, urging metalheads to thrash the place.
The crowd is so alive,
Highlighting the vibrant atmosphere of a live crowd.
Violent moshing, infernal grinding, take a stage dive
Depicting intense crowd participation with moshing and stage diving.
Now you are one of us, smashing this place oblivious
Welcoming someone into the community of passionate music enthusiasts.
Internal thrashing craze, we are here on stage! Thrash!
Expressing the thrill and chaos of being on stage, emphasizing thrashing.
Getting stoned, we are one
Referencing a communal experience of being stoned, possibly metaphorical.
With our fans, feeling great
Feeling great and connected with fans during the performance.
Europe rules, as does the metal world
Praising Europe and the broader metal community.
Staring at this laminate, tour dates on the back
Reflecting on tour dates while staring at a laminate.
Counting the days again, my how the time has passed
Reflecting on the passage of time and counting the days once again.
One more show to go, tour is done
One more show before the tour concludes.
Were finally going home, our fans are really sick
Excitement about finally going home, acknowledging the dedicated fans.
Thanks for the great times, we appreciate it
Expressing gratitude for the positive experiences during the tour.
Without you, we are nothing!
Emphasizing the importance of fans to the speaker's existence.
