Express Lane
Life's Express Lane: A Musical Escape from Stress
Lyrics
Trying all my life my way I
Expressing a desire to live life on one's own terms.
Want all things to go (Go)
Wishing for things to progress smoothly.
I need an express lane
Desiring a fast-paced, efficient way of life.
I'm tired of going slow (Slow)
Frustration with the slow pace of life.
That shit ain't for me
Rejecting a lifestyle that doesn't suit the individual.
I sleep and rest when it's dirt nap
Planning to rest only in death (dirt nap).
Until then everything is obese
Everything in life is abundant and excessive.
Like it's pure fat (Pure fat)
Comparing abundance to pure fat.
Put on a song so I can fall into a zone
Using music as an escape.
(Zone)
Longing for solitude with music.
Long day, me and music need some time alone
Needing time alone with music after a tiring day.
(Time alone)
Enjoying favorite songs with headphones.
Sun to moon and bump the favorite headphones
Driving on backroads with windows down and music up.
(Headphones)
Repetition of the desire for an escape through music.
Windows down, sounds up on the backroads
-(On the backroads)
-Play that shit louder than one
-Song that you played before
-The one that made me
-Forget my problems forevermore
-Play it again, everyone come on and listen up
Encouraging others to listen and join in.
Further closer to the edge
Approaching the edge without fear.
Never giving a fuck
Embracing a carefree attitude.
I'm always thinking with my left brain
Preference for logical thinking (left brain).
First came money then the stress came
Connecting money with stress.
This the New 52, I'm Scott Snyder
References to comic book culture and strategic thinking.
And they got me plotting on the endgame
-I ride alone in my express lane
Choosing a solitary and fast-paced path.
When I'm all alone and that stress came
-Just leave me be, let me be me
Requesting to be left alone to be oneself.
And just right then another text came
Interrupted by a text message.
It said
-Trying all my life my way I
Reiteration of the desire for an express lane through music.
Want all things to go (Go)
-I need an express lane
-I'm tired of going slow (Slow)
-That shit ain't for me
-I sleep and rest when it's dirt nap
-Until then everything is obese
-Like it's pure fat (Pure fat)
-Put on a song so I can fall into a zone
-(Zone)
-Long day, me and music need some time alone
-(Time alone)
-Sun to moon and bump the favorite headphones
-(Headphones)
-Windows down, sounds up on the backroads
-(On the backroads)
Setting the scene for a nostalgic experience.
Play me something so nostalgic that
Expressing the need for music to drown out external influences.
Can take me back (Take me back)
-I'm trying to drive away the day
-And I'ma make it fast (Make it fast)
-Everybody in my ear
-I cannot hear my thoughts (Hear my thoughts)
-I put my headphones and then I'm gone
-Let me kick this y'all
Reflecting on being left alone, hidden away, and overcoming challenges.
I've been left alone
-Staying tucked away in my forever home
-Jet black curtains I'll set the tone
-You can knock knock knock but I'm never home
-Everything I've been through
-You'll never know
-Lips stitched shut, eyes never show
-Broken and used as a stepping stone
-Yeah, they thought I would explode
-But I've yet to blow
Despite challenges, maintaining composure.
Trying all my life my way I
Reiteration of the desire for an express lane through music.
Want all things to go (Go)
-I need an express lane
-I'm tired of going slow (Slow)
-That shit ain't for me
-I sleep and rest when it's dirt nap
-Until then everything is obese
-Like it's pure fat (Pure fat)
-Put on a song so I can fall into a zone

-Long day, me and music need some time alone
-(Time alone)
-Sun to moon and bump the favorite headphones

-Windows down, sounds up on the backroads
