Lyrics

Truth like light travels faster than sound

Truth, like light, is faster than sound.

In the hypnosis of the new born crowd

People are captivated by the hypnotic influence of a new crowd.

A young sailor looks to his sheepskin

A young sailor searches for comfort in his sheepskin.

Looking for a smoke

Seeking a cigarette.

Looking for an in

Searching for a way in or connection.


And the big breasted heiress needs somebody to hang

A wealthy heiress desires someone to blame.

A dose of something real a kind of twisted satisfaction

Desiring a dose of reality and a peculiar satisfaction.

We find each others eyes in violent pinks and white wines

Connection is found in intense glances and amidst vibrant colors and wine.

The devils rolling sixes messages hanging from the vine

Reference to the unpredictable nature of life, represented by rolling dice.


I don’t know why I’m addicted to pain

Confusion about the addiction to pain.

Nowhere the answer I can’t hide my name

Nowhere seems to hold the answer; identity can't be concealed.

I’m the sidewinder driving around and around

Identifying as a sidewinder, continually circling.

These circles keeps bringing me down

Cycles of life or circumstances bring emotional descent.


Help me from reaching the edge of it all

Plea for assistance to avoid reaching a breaking point.

We are disasters together we’ll fall

Acknowledging shared disasters and an inevitable fall together.

You are the reason I don’t jump through those hoops

Someone is the reason for not succumbing to challenges.

These cycles keep bringing me down

Reiteration of descending emotional cycles.


The diamond necklace feels electric on her thigh

Symbolic description of a diamond necklace and its impact.

Like an anchor in the deep she can’t help but smile

Comparing the necklace to an anchor, suggesting a burdensome joy.

In the summer air a familiar scent reappears

A familiar scent in the summer air evokes memories.

She sings in the silence “my death is feeling near”

A silent declaration of an impending death.


I don’t know why I’m addicted to pain

Reiteration of confusion about the addiction to pain.

Nowhere the answer I can’t hide my name

Reiterating the lack of answers and inability to conceal identity.

I’m the sidewinder driving around and around

Identifying as a sidewinder, trapped in a repetitive cycle.

These circles keeps bringing me down

Continued descent due to life's repetitive patterns.


Help me from reaching the edge of it all

Seeking help to avoid reaching a breaking point.

We are disasters together we’ll fall

Acknowledging shared disasters and the inevitability of falling together.

You are the reason I don’t jump through those hoops

Recognizing someone as the reason for resisting challenges.

These cycles keep bringing me down

Repetition of the impact of descending emotional cycles.
