Lyrics
When I drive I feel fine
Driving brings a sense of well-being.
The sun shines I cruise by
Enjoying a pleasant drive under the sun.
Holding the wheel I can finally feel
Driving provides a sense of control and connection with reality.
And kinda deal with all of the real
Coping with the challenges of life.
There's so many people that I'll never meet
Awareness of the vast number of people one will never know.
They're driving their cars
Observing others driving their cars.
They're walking the street
Acknowledging people on the street.
Living their lives inside of their mind
Reflecting on the internal lives of others.
I'm hoping theirs is better than mine
Hoping that others have a better life.
Shades on my face man I'm keeping it cool
Projecting a cool and composed image with sunglasses.
On the rollercoaster or out at the pool
Comparing life's experiences to a routine.
It's all a routine I've been trying to keep
Attempting to maintain stability in life.
To keep myself buckled safe in my seat but
Struggling to stay secure and grounded.
I look at my hands I forget who I am
Repeatedly losing a sense of identity by looking at hands.
I look at my hands I forget who I am
-I look at my hands I forget who I am
-I look at my hands I forget who I am
-The silver screen behind my eyes cuts to black
Imagery of a cinematic experience ending abruptly.
The videotape it snapped
A metaphorical reference to a disruption in life.
Cinematic living ain't living
Criticizing the illusion of glamorous living.
It's some kind of method acting
Viewing life as a form of artificial performance.
Call me Jackie Jackie Nicholson
Playfully adopting the persona of Jack Nicholson.
Some people say life is lottery
Life seen as a random chance or luck.
I like to think it's a vending machine
Considering life as a result of choices and efforts.
Depends what you press and how much you pay
Emphasizing the influence of choices on one's life.
To get what you want to get through the day
Highlighting the effort required to navigate daily life.
Well blow my mind it's my last drive
A metaphorical portrayal of a significant life moment.
With all of my friends being all that I am
Treasuring relationships and shared experiences.
I'm just trying to be a human being
Striving to be authentic amidst life's challenges.
Relax in the seat but I'm frequently freaked
Feeling a mix of relaxation and anxiety.
I look at my hands I forget who I am
Continued struggle with self-identity.
I look at my hands I forget who I am
-I look at my hands I forget who I am
-I look at my hands I forget who I am
-The silver screen behind my eyes cuts to black
Continuation of the metaphorical cinematic experience.
The videotape it snapped
Abrupt ending and disruption in the narrative.
Cinematic living ain't living
Reiteration of the critique of glamorous living.
It's some kind of method acting
Reiterating the concept of life as method acting.
Call me Jackie Nicholson
Playfully identifying with Jack Nicholson again.
Cinematic living
Repetition emphasizing the theme of cinematic living.
Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
-Cinematic living
Final repetition of the concept of cinematic living.
