Freightrain
Fading on the Desert Floor: Doubledrive's Freighttrain Meaning
Lyrics
It ain't right
Expressing a sense of injustice or dissatisfaction.
Feel like I just fell off a freight train
Feeling disoriented or overwhelmed, as if hit by a powerful force.
A hundred miles from nowhere
Being far away from any recognizable location or goal.
Face down on the desert floor
Symbolizing a low point or failure, possibly in life or a situation.
Right about the time
Indicating a specific moment of need or vulnerability.
You need something to lean on
Seeking support or stability during challenging times.
Another cactus comes along
Despite seeking support, encountering additional difficulties.
It ain't there...
Emphasizing the absence of the expected support or relief.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Requesting assistance to prevent a decline or deterioration.
Withering like grapes on the vine
Comparing personal struggles to the withering of grapes, suggesting hardship.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Reiterating the need for support during challenging times.
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Highlighting the difficulty of overcoming obstacles or challenges.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Repeating the plea for assistance, emphasizing its importance.
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling
Expressing the urgency of needing help to avoid further decline.
I don't mind
Indicating a willingness to endure challenges without complaint.
But I'm even wearing the wrong damn clothes today
Acknowledging the presence of additional difficulties or obstacles.
I lost my mind
Conveying a sense of losing control or stability.
Is this town even here, you know
Questioning the reality of the current situation or surroundings.
I think I lost my...mind
Suggesting a potential loss of sanity or mental stability.
Travel down the tracks
Embarking on a journey, possibly metaphorical or physical.
Wait for the train to come
Waiting for a change or a new phase in life.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Reiterating the plea for support during a challenging period.
Withering like grapes on the vine
Drawing parallels between personal struggles and the withering of grapes.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Seeking assistance to overcome difficulties, especially uphill challenges.
The steeper grade, the uphill climb
Emphasizing the steepness of the challenges faced.
Hold me up 'cause I'm fading
Repeating the call for help, underscoring its importance.
Hold me up 'cause I'm falling
Highlighting the risk of further decline without immediate support.
