Lyrics
You bore through my skin
You have penetrated deeply into my emotions or thoughts.
And pulsed through my veins like a stimulant
Your influence courses through my veins like a stimulating substance.
My temper is thin as the ice on this creek
My patience or tolerance is fragile, comparable to the thinness of the ice on a creek.
Cuz everyday I give myself unto the road
Every day, I devote myself to the journey or experience of life.
Where it feels like the sky is too low,
In this experience, it feels as if the challenges or constraints are overwhelming, like the sky being too low.
Locked in a car
I feel confined or restricted within the confines of a car.
There's paint in the sky
There is a vivid or intense display in the sky.
Or is that the sun in my eye
Questioning whether what I see is real or if it's a result of the sun affecting my vision.
I'm halfway past blind
I am partially blinded, possibly metaphorically, by some aspect of the surroundings.
And you're bent as these streets
You, the person, are contorted or affected by the complexities of life represented by the streets.
Cuz everyday I give myself unto the road
Continuing to commit myself to the journey despite its challenges.
Where it feels like the sky is too low,
Reiterating the feeling of being constrained by a low sky during this journey.
Everyday I give myself unto the road
Repeating the dedication to the road, emphasizing the challenging nature of the journey.
Where it feels like the sky is too low,
Reiterating the sense of confinement under a low sky during the journey.
Locked in a car, cursing aloud
Expressing frustration or anger while confined in the car, expressing doubt about divine intervention in the town.
God will never save this town
Suggesting that the town is beyond salvation or rescue by a higher power.
God will never save this town
Repeating the belief that the town is beyond salvation.
Locked in a car, the two of us are
Emphasizing the shared experience of being confined in a car between two individuals.
Locked in a car
Repeating the idea of being locked in a car, concluding the lyrics.
