Tar Snakes
Chasing Freedom: Jesse Daniel's Tar Snakes Unveil Heartache Escape
Lyrics
I'm chasing' them tar snakes
I'm actively pursuing the challenges and obstacles in life, symbolized as "tar snakes."
Outrunning this heartache
I am trying to escape from emotional pain and distress.
More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see
I'm moving forward with determination, using more energy (gas) and avoiding restraint (brakes).
I'm hopin' this white line
I hope that focusing on the road (white line) will help me forget about you.
Wipes you from my mind
I wish the road will erase thoughts of you from my mind.
Like bleach and turpentine, wipes my memory clean
Similar to how bleach and turpentine clean, I want the road to wipe my memory of you.
The thought of you is such a heavy load
Thinking about you is a heavy burden I carry.
I bear that burden of your ghost in every place I go
Your presence lingers like a ghost in every place I visit.
I never learned the luxury of learning how to cope
I never learned effective coping mechanisms for dealing with pain.
So now I'm gonna hit that open road
To escape from the emotional weight, I choose to hit the open road.
I'm chasing' them tar snakes
Reiteration of actively facing life's challenges symbolized as "tar snakes."
Outrunning this heartache
Continuing to run away from emotional pain and distress.
More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see
Persisting with determination, using more energy and avoiding restraint.
I'm hopin' this white line
Continued hope that the road will help me forget about you.
Wipes you from my mind
Continued wish that the road will erase thoughts of you from my mind.
Like bleach and turpentine, wipes my memory clean
Reiteration of wanting the road to wipe memories of you like bleach and turpentine.
The truest form of love you were to me
You represented the truest form of love for me.
Thats why I had to leave this town and save my dignity
I left the town to preserve my self-respect and honor.
Every place I go is just as haunted as the last
Every new place I go is haunted by memories of you.
Your smile is in the bottom of every empty glass
Your influence and impact are pervasive, even in moments of emptiness.
I'm chasing' them tar snakes
Reiteration of actively facing life's challenges symbolized as "tar snakes."
Outrunning this heartache
Continuing to run away from emotional pain and distress.
More gas and less brakes, far as the eye can see
Persisting with determination, using more energy and avoiding restraint.
I'm hopin' this white line
Continued hope that the road will help me forget about you.
Wipes you from my mind, like bleach and turpentine
Continued wish that the road will erase thoughts of you from my mind.
Wipes my memory clean
Reiteration of wanting the road to wipe memories of you like bleach and turpentine.
