Lyrics
Why am I wrong?
Questioning one's correctness or actions.
That is what I still don't understand
Expressing confusion or lack of comprehension about a situation.
Driving around in this empty night
Driving through a deserted night.
In this solitary town
Being in a lonely town.
They say it's better alone
Acknowledging the societal belief that being alone is better than being with bad company.
Than livin' in bad company
Questioning why there is a longing for someone despite the supposed benefits of solitude.
So why do I miss someone
Expressing a paradoxical feeling of missing someone while valuing solitude.
On the passenger's seat?
Reflecting on the absence of the feeling of safety in the presence of someone.
Without a feeling of safety
Feeling insecure and lacking confidence without a sense of safety.
I'm lacking confidence
Describing a lack of confidence in oneself.
I felt secure about my future
Recalling a time when the future seemed secure.
But now I'm buried in the memories of past
Being overwhelmed by memories from the past.
I wanted it to last, but now I'm lost
Expressing a desire for the past to endure but acknowledging being lost now.
Joy is nearly always mixed with grief
Recognizing the common intertwining of joy and grief.
And I live with mingled feelings of sorrow and anger
Living with mixed feelings of sorrow and anger.
A new engine far more powerful than the old one
Gaining strength through suffering, symbolized by a more powerful engine.
It's what I gained by my suffering, I only have to use it
Emphasizing the need to use acquired strength to enhance independence.
To increase the value of my independence
Linking suffering to an increase in the value of independence.
Without a feeling of safety
Reiterating the theme of lacking a sense of safety.
I'm lacking confidence
Reiterating a lack of confidence due to the absence of safety.
I felt secure about my future
Revisiting a time when the future felt secure but contrasting it with the present state of being buried in memories.
But now I'm buried in the memories of past
Reemphasizing the overwhelming impact of past memories.
I wanted it to last, but now I'm lost
Expressing the desire for a lasting experience but acknowledging feeling lost.
Without a feeling of safety
Repeating the theme of lacking a feeling of safety.
I'm lacking confidence
Repeating the lack of confidence without a sense of safety.
I felt secure about my future
Reiterating the past sense of security in contrast to the present state of being immersed in memories.
But now I'm buried in the memories of past
Reemphasizing the impact of being buried in past memories.
I wanted it to last, but now I'm lost
Repeating the desire for a lasting experience while acknowledging feeling lost.
Why am I wrong?
Reiterating the initial question about being wrong.
