The Sound of Speed
Velocity of Reflection: Navigating Life's Turbulence with Nitro Junkie
Lyrics
116 on the highway, never slow down on the byway
Driving at a speed of 116 on the highway, emphasizing a fast-paced and relentless approach.
Never shy away from the pain or the blame
Encouraging facing challenges and difficulties without hesitation.
With one hand white knuckled on the wheel switching lanes
Expressing determination and control while navigating through life's twists and turns.
Shift down, headfirst, bad habits well versed
Engaging in risky behaviors with full commitment and proficiency.
Wrong way forward into traffic at the very worst
Moving forward, even in the wrong direction, highlighting a disregard for conventional paths.
Trippin' on the message while I'm counting all my blessings
Reflecting on life's lessons and challenges while appreciating positive aspects.
Trying not to become wreckage but I gotta fix my clutch work
Struggling to avoid personal wreckage, acknowledging the need for self-improvement.
Blood sport, worldwide
Describing intense and competitive situations on a global scale.
Aggregated deicide
Referring to a collective act of killing a god, possibly symbolizing destructive human actions.
Pass around the blame while you worship the unsatisfied
Criticizing the tendency to blame others while worshiping unattainable desires.
Despondent slaughter, of your sons and daughters
Depicting a sorrowful and destructive event affecting offspring.
But I know, how much we've lost along the way
Acknowledging the losses experienced on life's journey.
Can't find the words to show, how everything we've sown
Expressing difficulty in articulating the negative consequences of actions.
is killing us slowly
Highlighting the slow, destructive impact of collective choices.
Praise leads to lethargy then temptation leads to stress
Exploring the negative consequences of praise leading to complacency and stress.
Though my words may be a ministry my life is a mess
Acknowledging personal struggles despite delivering a positive message through words.
And I profess, that the gasoline infection burns in hindsight
Recognizing the hindsight realization of destructive influences, specifically mentioning gasoline.
But the sound of speed is loud enough to cut right through the spite
Emphasizing the powerful and cutting impact of the sound of speed despite negativity.
Heel and toe, slow it down for a minute
Advising to slow down momentarily, possibly to reflect on the consequences of speed.
The speed is gonna kill me though I don't want to admit it
Admitting awareness of the potential harm caused by speed, despite reluctance to accept it.
Read my lips, I accept that I'm a hypocrite
Acknowledging personal contradictions and hypocrisy.
But now I hear the sirens coming so I've gotta split
Reacting to imminent danger, possibly from law enforcement or consequences.
But I know, how much we've lost along the way
Reiterating the recognition of losses experienced throughout the journey.
Can't find the words to show, how everything we've sown
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing the negative outcomes of collective actions.
is killing us slowly
Stressing the gradual and destructive nature of the consequences of collective choices.
