There She Goes
Journey Through Desperation: There She Goes
Lyrics
Hey pretty lady tying to sell me a line
Addressing a woman attempting to deceive with words.
With a one way ticket to the darker side
Suggesting a journey towards a negative or dangerous path.
You've got a pocket full of pills and some gasoline
Describing the woman carrying drugs and fuel, implying destructive intentions.
Want to throw it on the fire and watch it gleam
Expressing a desire to fuel a fire, possibly metaphorical, for spectacle.
Gonna burn burn burn alive
Anticipating a fiery and destructive outcome.
You tell me that you're never happy
Assertion that the woman is consistently unhappy.
Save save save your lies
Encouragement to preserve falsehoods, possibly indicating a lack of trust.
Save them all for someone else who care
Suggesting the lies are not valued and should be directed elsewhere.
Now you're all alone
Indicating the woman's solitude.
As you are flying so high
Observing the woman's elevated state, potentially due to substance use.
There she goes as she's slipping away
Describing the woman's departure or decline.
Into another mistake
Highlighting her involvement in another regrettable action.
She's like a time bomb ticking away
Comparing the woman to a ticking time bomb, suggesting imminent trouble.
Down down baby yeah that's where you'll go
Forecasting a negative destination, possibly reminiscent of past mistakes.
Back to that old town down that old dirt road
Referring to a familiar and negative place from the past.
Where you scored that fix for the very first time
Recalling the woman's first experience with drugs.
Now you're looking for a fill on another deadline
Seeking substances urgently as if on a deadline.
Burn burn burn alive
Reiterating the theme of burning alive, possibly metaphorical.
You say that you're ready to be
Claiming readiness to be abandoned or face consequences.
Left left left to die
Suggesting a desire for abandonment, echoing loneliness.
Will you ever find someone who cares
Pondering if the woman will ever find genuine care.
Now you're all alone
Reiterating the woman's solitude and elevated state.
As you are flying so high
Similar to line #10, emphasizing the woman's high state.
There she goes as she's slipping away
Repeating the theme of the woman slipping away into mistakes.
Into another mistake
Reiterating her involvement in regrettable actions.
She's like a time bomb ticking away
Recalling the metaphor of the woman as a time bomb.
Hey pretty lady let's go for a ride

Hey pretty lady lets go for a ride

Let's go for a ride
