Trainwreck
Journey of Heartbreak: Lauren Mayfield's Trainwreck Revelations
Lyrics
50 miles an hour on a one way track
Speeding at 50 miles per hour on a one-way path
No where to pull it over, too late to look back
No opportunity to stop or turn back
Signs are flying by, showing what's ahead
Passing signs indicating what lies ahead
Giving you a warning but you flew off the edge
Ignoring warnings and driving off the edge
Watch out
Warning someone to be cautious
Come back
Requesting a return or reconsideration
Don't go
Advising not to proceed
Too fast
Traveling too quickly
Ooo
Exclamation expressing emotional distress or realization
Was it the warning signs fault that the crash happened
Questioning if the crash occurred due to disregarding warnings
Ooo
Reiteration of questioning the cause of the crash
The road block didn't move
Obstacle or barrier that wasn't moved or avoided
Now it's scattered in pieces on the ground
Resulting in shattered pieces on the ground
And when the smoke has cleared you don't hear a sound
Aftermath of a crash where there's eerie silence
The silence of somebody's broken heart
Describing the quiet pain of someone's broken heart
A destined train wreck right from the start
Suggesting a collision was inevitable from the beginning
There's no way to describe this kind of pain
Expressing the indescribable nature of the pain
When it looked ok until you looked away
Seeming okay until the moment attention was diverted
You thought it'd last forever now forever is gone
The expectation of lasting forever shattered
You tried to work it out now it's an unfinished song
An attempt to fix things resulting in an incomplete resolution
Ooo
Similar questioning about the cause of the crash
Was it the warning signs fault that the crash happened
Repeatedly pondering if warnings were to blame
Ooo
Reiteration of an unmoved obstacle causing destruction
The iceberg didn't move
Resulting in shattered pieces on the ground
Now it's scattered in pieces on the ground
Similar aftermath of silence after a crash
And when the smoke has cleared you don't hear a sound
Implies the absence of sound after devastation
Somebody's hearts will be mending
Suggesting eventual healing of broken hearts
But until then they are pretending
Temporary façade of pretending until healing occurs
Now it's shattered in pieces on the ground
Outcome of shattered pieces on the ground
And when you look back at it we all saw it coming
Reflecting on the predictable nature of the event in hindsight
They were blinded by their own heart
Being blinded by emotions in the inevitable collision
In a destined train wreck right
Emphasizing the predestined nature of the crash
We cried
Expressing emotional pain and sorrow
Something died
Signifying the loss of something important
A light that once led the way
The extinguishing of guidance or hope
Flames were high
Intense emotions or difficulties encountered
But oh how I tried
Efforts made to salvage the situation
To save the day
Attempt to rescue or solve the problem
Now it's scattered in pieces on the ground
Resulting in shattered pieces on the ground
But when the smoke has cleared you hear a heart beating
Despite devastation, signs of life or hope remain
Despite her falling apart
Despite falling apart, there's a chance for a fresh beginning
In a destined trainwreck
Reiterating the crash was predestined
A new start
Suggesting the possibility of a new beginning despite the wreckage
