Drive Me Away
Yearning for Escape: Martha Hill's Reflections on Seeking Freedom
Lyrics
I can't remember why I choose to live a life like this
Reflecting on the choice to live a challenging life.
I can't remember why I'm not in fields on green
Expressing a longing for a simpler, natural environment.
I sit and I wonder- whats going on?
Pondering and questioning the current situation.
They tell you you can reach the stars if you dream big
Receiving advice about reaching for ambitious goals.
But happiness can not be found on an astral belt
Realizing that true happiness is not attainable through external achievements.
I sit and I wonder- what's going wrong?
Continuing to question and assess the state of affairs.
Baby take me away I wanna go and play
Expressing a desire to escape and have fun.
I need a holiday
Yearning for a break or vacation.
Your lips, taste like freedom I feel alive
Associating the partner's lips with a sense of freedom and vitality.
When you're driving me away.
Linking the feeling of being alive with the act of being driven away.
You...
Open-ended reference to the listener or a specific person.
Sometimes I feel up but I come down
Describing the fluctuating emotions of highs and lows.
Sometimes I have dreams but I wake up
Acknowledging the transient nature of dreams and reality.
I sit and I wonder- will you take me and run.
Contemplating the possibility of being taken away and running.
I look for stability but now I crave and open road
Seeking stability but being drawn to the allure of the open road.
Can't trust my ability to not just fuck it all up
Doubting one's ability to maintain stability and avoid making mistakes.
I sit and I wonder- will you take me and run?
Repeating the contemplation of being taken away and running.
Baby take me away I wanna go and play
Reiterating the desire to be taken away for enjoyment.
I need a holiday
Repeating the yearning for a holiday or a break.
Your lips, taste like freedom I feel alive
Reinforcing the association of the partner's lips with freedom and vitality.
When you're driving me away.
Connecting the feeling of being alive with the partner driving away.
You...
Concluding with an open-ended reference or plea.
