Shotgun
Thrilling Escapes: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Man of the Flood's 'Shotgun'
Lyrics
I know a place
I am aware of a specific location
He said a great escape
Someone mentioned a great opportunity to escape
Stay up late, razor blade
Staying awake into the late hours, possibly with a sense of danger (razor blade)
I got trapped in a conversation
I became entangled in a conversation
New day, same situation
A new day, but facing a familiar and unchanged situation
I guess I've just got that face
It seems my facial expression or demeanor attracts certain situations
I'm a one-stop shop with a shotgun I'm ready to go
I am a versatile individual armed with a shotgun, ready for action
You know
A confirmation or acknowledgment of readiness
When it all comes spilling in
When everything starts pouring in
Cloudy visions filling up my mind, third eye, let em in
Mental images becoming unclear, with a reference to the third eye, possibly indicating insight or perception
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization
I did it for the thrill
I engaged in an activity for the excitement
What else to do with
Questioning what else to do with a surplus of time
So much time to kill
A sense of having a considerable amount of time available
One last ride?
Suggesting the possibility of one final experience or adventure
You'd think you'd read my mind
Expectation that someone should understand thoughts without explicit communication
Its about damn time
An expression indicating that it's overdue or about time
Why can't you live just for a moment
Questioning why one cannot live in the present moment
You move fast but don't look where you're going
Warning about moving quickly without being aware of the direction
Blind the light
Suggesting the need to obscure or avoid the light
I'm a one-stop shop with a shotgun ready to go
Reiteration of being prepared and armed with a shotgun
You know
Confirmation or acknowledgment of readiness (similar to line 9)
When it all comes spilling in
Repetition of the idea that everything is pouring in
Cloudy visions filling up my mind, third eye, let em in
Recurrence of cloudy visions and the third eye concept
Oh no
Reiteration of concern or realization (similar to line 12)
I did it for the thrill
Reiterating engagement in an activity for the thrill
What else to do with
Repeating the question about what to do with excess time
So much time to kill
Emphasizing the abundance of available time
