The Leading Guy
Rock's Enigmatic Exodus: The Leading Guy's Silent Departure
Lyrics
Words wouldn't come stumbled all deaf and dumb
Struggling to articulate thoughts, experiencing difficulty expressing oneself.
As the crowd awaits his great escape
A crowd anticipates someone's significant escape or performance.
And his fingers wouldn't move nervous back and blue
Fingers reluctant and bruised, possibly from playing an instrument or expressing vulnerability.
Just an eye game, game away now
A reference to a game of perception or deception involving the eyes.
And he had moved
An indication of a change or progression in the subject's life or situation.
And he had moved on to god knows where
The subject has moved on to an unknown destination, and there is a lack of concern or interest from others.
And he had moved on none of us care
-And he had moved on to god knows where
-And he had moved on none of us care
-So the crowd spit him out
The crowd rejects and condemns the subject, metaphorically crucifying a figure associated with rock and roll.
And they shot him through the skies
-They crucified rock and rolls worst leading guy
-And he had moved on to god knows where
Reiteration of the subject's departure and the lack of concern from those left behind.
And he had moved on none of us care
-And he had moved on to god knows where
-And he had moved on none of us care
-And he had moved on to god knows where
Final repetition of the theme of the subject moving on, with a continued lack of interest or care from others.
And he had moved on none of us care
-And he had moved on to god knows where
-And he had moved on none of us care
