45 Over
Navigating Life's Fast Lane: 45 Over by Keep Off the Grass
Lyrics
Who do you root for in the Olympics
Questioning allegiance in the Olympics without a homeland.
When you don't have a country to go home to
Highlighting the lack of a home country to return to.
Yell at the TV
Expressing frustration by shouting at the TV.
It's just politics
Dismissal of Olympic matters as mere politics.
They have you by your neck it's where they want you
Feeling controlled and manipulated, as if held by the neck.
They have you by your neck it's where they want you
Reiteration of being controlled and confined.
We're two of a kind and it works out half the time
Describing a relationship that is imperfect but functional.
Your father is blind
Suggesting a lack of insight or understanding in a paternal figure.
And you decided to let him drive
A risky decision, possibly metaphorical, letting a blind person drive.
It's no wonder we're in the lake
Explaining a dire situation, possibly a metaphorical car crash into a lake.
We were going 45 over with no brakes
Describing a reckless act of speeding without brakes.
Who do you cry to at 4 in the morning
Questioning the choice of confidants during difficult times.
Everyone you know is making fun of you
Feeling ridiculed by acquaintances in a vulnerable moment.
Up in their face
Confrontation with those mocking, possibly leading to destructive actions.
You burned the Golden Gate
Symbolic destruction of a significant landmark, the Golden Gate.
You're underneath that bridge it's where they want you
Being confined under a bridge, suggesting a controlled and undesirable situation.
You're underneath that bridge it's where they want you
Reiteration of being confined and manipulated.
We're two of a kind and it works out half the time
Repeating the imperfect but functional nature of a relationship.
Your father is blind
Reiterating the lack of understanding or insight in a paternal figure.
And you decided to let him drive
Highlighting a risky decision, possibly with negative consequences.
It's no wonder we're in the lake
Reiteration of a dire situation, possibly involving a metaphorical car crash.
We were going 45 over with no brakes
Repeating the description of a reckless act of speeding without brakes.
Bygones are bygones, but you really fucked this up
Acknowledging past mistakes or conflicts that significantly impacted the situation.
Bygones are bygones, but you really fucked this up
Reiterating acknowledgment of past mistakes and their severe impact.
Bygones are bygones
Stressing the irreversibility of certain actions or events.
We're two of a kind and it works out half the time
Repeating the imperfect yet functional nature of a relationship.
Your father is blind
Reiterating the lack of understanding or insight in a paternal figure.
And you decided to let him drive
Re-emphasizing a risky decision with potential negative outcomes.
It's no wonder we're in the lake
Reiteration of a dire situation, likely a metaphorical car crash.
We were going 45 over with no brakes
Repeating the description of a reckless act of speeding without brakes.
