Roadkill
Navigating Shadows: A Poetic Drive through Long Goodbyes
Lyrics
Be sure to cover my eyes when we round that corner
Requesting to cover the eyes when approaching a specific turn or situation, possibly to shield from something disturbing or painful.
Where we stood just inside the lines one long goodbye ago
Referencing a past moment where parting or saying goodbye happened within defined boundaries or limits.
One backward glance
A quick look back or a brief reflection on the past.
Bloody roadkill calling
A metaphorical reference to something gruesome or distressing that catches attention despite its unpleasantness.
I can't resist
Feeling unable to resist something, potentially indicating a pattern of behavior.
I never could
Reiterating the difficulty in resisting impulses or desires, possibly suggesting a repeated struggle or temptation.
And now just look around
Observing the present situation, remarking on the absence of any visible evidence of their presence or existence.
There is no sign of us anywhere
Emphasizing the lack of any indication or trace of their presence in the current context.
There never was
Asserting that there was never any indication or evidence of their existence or involvement.
Drove around with you all night
Spending an entire night driving together, possibly reflecting on a prolonged journey or experience shared.
Angry hamsters spinning in our cages
Metaphorically describing heightened emotions or agitation, likening it to spinning hamsters in cages.
Still angriest the backseat driver, softly
Highlighting the strongest anger being expressed by the person in the backseat, indirectly urging the driver to go faster.
"Can't you drive a little faster?"
Quoting the backseat driver's request or demand for increased speed.
Then daring us to come what may
Challenging or provoking to face whatever consequences may arise from the speed or actions taken.
And now just look around
Reiterating the absence of any visible evidence of their presence or existence in the current surroundings.
There is no sign of us anywhere
Stressing the perpetual absence of any trace or indication of their involvement or existence.
There never was
Asserting once again the absence of any evidence or sign of their presence or participation.
Be sure to cover my eyes when we round that corner
Repeating the initial request to have eyes covered when approaching a particular turn or situation, potentially indicating the desire to avoid facing something distressing or painful.
