Lyrics
Driving around the city with my head down low, low
Driving through the city with a low mood or spirit.
See trouble up ahead and 2 ways to go, go
Facing trouble ahead with two possible paths.
One will bring tears to my baby's eyes
One path may cause sadness for the speaker's baby.
And do you hear them angels cry singing
Reference to angels crying, suggesting a sense of despair or hardship.
You are not alone
Reassurance that the speaker is not alone, possibly seeking comfort.
You are not alone
-(Hey) Can anybody hear me?
Repetition of the plea for someone to hear and be there for the speaker.
Is anybody out there?
-(Hey) Can anybody hear me?
-Is anybody out there?
-Yeah, left lane, eyes low 'cause I'm nauseous
Describing the emotional state of being lost and nauseous, with echoes emphasizing the feeling.
Right now I'm lost, driftin away in the darkness
-Echo, Echo
-Echo, Echo
-I got the devil in my blood stream and I'm so high
Indication of substance use and the persistent impact on the speaker.
But it just won't go away (Just won't go away).
-Too much stress.
Expressing overwhelming stress, physical symptoms, and the inability to find peace.
My hands keep shaking, death knocking on my chest,
-Can't let it rest.
-Flashing lights down the road,
Visualizing a bleak journey with flashing lights and a sense of hopelessness.
Feel like there's nothing here left that can save my soul.
-Hope they playing my songs when I'm dead and I'm gone
Expressing a desire for recognition through the speaker's songs after their death.
'Cause I don't know if I'ma make it home (so now I'm just)
-Driving around the city with my head down low, low
Repetition of the earlier driving scenario with an emphasis on potential heartbreaking choices.
See trouble up ahead and 2 ways to go, go
-One will bring tears to my baby's eyes
-And do you hear them angels cry singing
-You are not alone (you are not alone)
Reiteration of the message that the speaker is not alone, possibly seeking solace.
You are not alone (you are not alone)
-(Hey) Can anybody hear me?
Repetition of the plea for someone to hear and be there for the speaker.
Is anybody out there?
-(Hey) Can anybody hear me?
-Is anybody out there?
-Driving around the city with my head down low
Final repetition of driving with a low head, suggesting a cyclical struggle or journey.
I see trouble up ahead yeah yeah
-Driving around the city with my head down low
