Dead Man
Night Drive: Confronting the Living Dead in a World on the Edge
Lyrics
My focus is pulling my hand upon the wheel
Feeling the intense concentration while steering.
My body is planted locked in gear
Feeling stuck, unable to change or escape.
It's maybe to late the night is here
Suggesting it might be too late, darkness is approaching.
The dead man to my right speaks so clear
Implies a strong presence of death beside the singer, offering clear guidance or insight.
Drive all the night till the morning comes
Continuing to move forward until a new day arrives.
The tank has run dry
Running out of resources, possibly energy or hope.
Listen boy gotta take a chance
Advice to take a risk or opportunity, to break free.
You gotta be free
Encouragement to embrace freedom.
I'm over the edge I'm not going down so give me what I need
Insisting on avoiding failure and demanding what's necessary.
Drive all night just to let it out the living dead is all around
Driving through the night to release emotions while being surrounded by those who seem lifeless.
You yell for help me, dead man
A plea for assistance directed at the deceased person.
I will say my prayers today, nightmare man just go away
Expressing a desire for relief from distressing thoughts or situations.
Terrified by the voice inside, frightmare taken away
Fearful of an inner voice or thought causing terror, seeking to banish it.
I break apart my lonely soul
Feeling emotionally fragmented or torn.
There's no where to go
Feeling trapped without options for escape.
There's no plan b
Highlighting the absence of an alternative plan.
I'm over the edge I'm not going down so give me what I need
Insisting on avoiding failure and demanding what's necessary.
Drive all night just to let it out the living dead is all around
Driving through the night to release emotions while being surrounded by those who seem lifeless.
You yell for help me, dead man
A plea for assistance directed at the deceased person.
Stuck here afaid to run
Feeling stuck and afraid to take action.
Can you face the sun
Questioning if one can confront or endure difficulties.
I'm over the edge I'm not going down so give me what I need
Insisting on avoiding failure and demanding what's necessary.
Drive all night just to let it out the living dead is all around
Driving through the night to release emotions while being surrounded by those who seem lifeless.
You yell for help me, dead man, dead man, dead man
A repeated plea for assistance directed at the deceased person.
