Lyrics

Nobody here wants to slow down

Nobody in this place has a desire to decelerate.

100 MPH, We need to escape

We are moving at 100 miles per hour and yearn for an escape.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Reiteration that no one here wants to slow down.

More violent, more insane, we are born again

Emphasis on becoming more intense, more crazy; a metaphorical rebirth.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Repeat of the sentiment that no one wishes to decelerate.

100 MPH, We need to escape

Reiteration of the need to escape at a high speed.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Continuation of the idea that nobody here wants to slow down.

More violent, more insane, we are born again

Reiteration of the concept of becoming more intense and crazier, symbolizing a new beginning.

I’m not at home

Expressing not being in a familiar place.

I was trapped and I can feel it

Feeling trapped and acknowledging it.

I plan on coming back tonight, but I just couldn’t guarantee it

Plans to return tonight but uncertain about the guarantee.

Walk out, take a look across the night

Invitation to step out and observe the night.

Everybody knows how to live a simple life

General observation that everyone knows how to live a simple life.

There’s millions of lights on out there

Noticing numerous lights in the distance.

Well, everyone's but mine

Feeling isolated, as everyone else seems to have lights on but not oneself.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Reiteration of the collective unwillingness to slow down.

100 MPH, We need to escape

Stating the need to escape at a high speed once again.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Repeating that nobody in this place wants to slow down.

More violent, more insane, we are born again

Emphasizing the increase in intensity and insanity, symbolizing a rebirth.

I wouldn’t bother calling

Expressing a lack of interest in receiving calls.

You know that I won’t be fooled

A firm stance on not being deceived.

Tonight I’m out looking for, something to darken the mood

Searching for something to darken the mood tonight.

Walk out, take a look across the night

Encouragement to go outside and view the night.

Nobody knows how to live their fucking life

A cynical view that nobody knows how to live their life.

There’s millions of lights on for sure

Observing countless lights, though unsure about their significance.

But god knows what we’ll find

Expressing uncertainty about what will be discovered.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Reiteration that nobody wants to slow down in this environment.

100 MPH, We need to escape

Reiterating the urgency to escape at high speed.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Repeating the sentiment that nobody desires to slow down.

More violent, more insane, we are born again

Emphasizing the increase in intensity and insanity, suggesting a renewed existence.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Reiteration that nobody in this place wants to slow down.

100 MPH, We need to escape

Emphasizing the need to escape at 100 miles per hour once again.

Nobody here wants to slow down

Reiteration that nobody desires to slow down.

More violent, more insane, we are born again

Emphasizing the increase in intensity and insanity, signifying a rebirth.

Look what we found

Discovery of something significant or impactful.

I wanna go home now, wanna go home with you

Expressing a desire to go home and be with someone.

Look what we found

Reiteration of the desire to go home and be with someone.

I wanna go home now, wanna go home with you

Expressing a strong desire to return home with someone.
