Detroit
Night Drives and Redemption: Lost For Life's Detroit Anthem
Lyrics
Long nights in Detroit
Expressing the length of difficult times in Detroit.
Cocaine just to make us feel
Using cocaine as a coping mechanism for emotional relief.
You and I, and all the conversation
Shared experiences and conversations between two individuals.
Just to make this real
Using external substances to validate reality.
Just to make things real
Emphasizing the desire for authenticity and reality.
Don’t give up, or give in. We’ll start over again
Encouraging resilience and the idea of starting anew.
We will make it out someday
Hope for a better future despite current challenges.
Just to make things real we’ll start over again
Reiterating the commitment to authenticity and starting afresh.
Driving around with the windows down
Driving with openness, despite harsh conditions.
It’s cold as hell. I can see our breath
Describing extremely cold weather and visible breath.
Smoking cigarettes, and making plans
Engaging in activities and making plans despite challenges.
Making plans for a better future
Planning for a better future despite current difficulties.
And we wanted something to believe
Seeking something to believe in for personal salvation.
Just to save ourselves
Using belief as a means to save oneself from challenges.
Why don’t we wait and see
Encouraging patience and waiting to see how things unfold.
Don’t give in. Just get out
Discouraging surrender and advocating for persistence.
Try, and make yourself
Encouraging self-improvement and determination.
We always want to be free
Expressing the desire for freedom.
From all our skeletons
Desiring liberation from past mistakes or regrets.
Sometimes I wish we could turn back time, and reinvent our fate
Expressing a wish to change the past and reshape destiny.
When your closest friends have died, and all you can do is hate
Dealing with the intense emotions of losing close friends.
Why don’t we wait and see
Reiteration of the importance of patience and observation.
Don’t give in. Just get out
Encouraging resilience and discouraging surrender.
Try, and make yourself
Encouraging self-improvement and determination (repeated).
We always want to be free
Expressing the ongoing desire for freedom (repeated).
From all our skeletons
Seeking liberation from past mistakes or regrets (repeated).
From all our skeletons
Emphasizing the persistent presence of past mistakes or regrets.
From all our skeletons
Repetition for emphasis on the burden of past mistakes.
And we wanted something to believe
Seeking something to believe in for personal salvation (repeated).
Just to save ourselves
Using belief as a means to save oneself from challenges (repeated).
Why don’t we wait and see
Encouraging patience and waiting to see how things unfold (repeated).
Don’t give in. Just get out
Discouraging surrender and advocating for persistence (repeated).
Try, and make yourself
Encouraging self-improvement and determination (repeated).
We always want to be free
Expressing the ongoing desire for freedom (repeated).
From all our skeletons.
Seeking liberation from past mistakes or regrets (repeated).
Why don’t we wait and see
Reiteration of the importance of patience and observation (repeated).
Don’t give in. Just get out
Encouraging resilience and discouraging surrender (repeated).
Try, and make yourself
Encouraging self-improvement and determination (repeated).
Try, and make yourself
Encouraging persistent efforts for self-improvement.
