Backseat
Midnight Redemption: Battling Demons in the Backseat
Lyrics
I'm baked in the backseat on a midnight ride
I am under the influence of drugs in the backseat during a nighttime drive.
Thick smoke like a blindfold covering up my eyes
The thick smoke is like a blindfold, obstructing my vision.
I can't show up dead if I ever do arrive
I won't be noticed as being dead if I ever reach my destination.
That's what I get for letting the demons drive
Suffering the consequences for allowing inner demons to control me.
More fire than a hot mess
Experiencing intense emotions or chaos.
I'm just a dummy in a crash test
I feel like a test dummy in a car crash simulation.
But the pain is twofold
The pain is doubly impactful.
Cause my brain is the vehicle
The mind is the vehicle, suggesting a struggle within the mental realm.
I fear that the crash is coming
Anticipating a crash or breakdown.
I'll brace my bones
Preparing for impact and potential harm.
Gotta switch my role
Recognizing the need to change my role or behavior.
It's time to take back control
Taking control of the situation and one's life.
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
Blacked out in the backseat with a bloody hand
Being unconscious in the backseat with a wounded hand.
I fucked up trying to make a pipe out of a soda can
Mistakes made, possibly related to drug use.
I feel alive but life's a fickle friend
Feeling alive despite the challenges, but life is unpredictable.
One second you're here, the next
Life's unpredictability and the suddenness of challenges.
It's hitting too hard and you're gonna get wrecked
Facing intense difficulties or consequences.
More fire than a hot mess
Experiencing heightened emotions or chaos once again.
I'm just a dummy in a crash test
Feeling like a test dummy in a challenging situation.
But the pain is twofold
The pain is doubly impactful, emphasizing mental struggles.
Cause my brain is the vehicle
The mind is the vehicle, continuing the internal battle theme.
I fear that the crash is coming
Anxiety about an impending mental or emotional breakdown.
I'll brace my bones
Preparing for the impact and potential consequences.
Gotta switch my role
Recognizing the need to change behavior or perspective.
It's time to take back control
Empowering oneself to regain control of life.
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement, repeated.
More fire than a hot mess
Experiencing heightened emotions or chaos once again, repeated.
I'm just a dummy in a crash test
Feeling like a test dummy in a challenging situation, repeated.
But the pain is twofold
The pain is doubly impactful, emphasizing mental struggles, repeated.
Cause my brain is the vehicle
The mind is the vehicle, continuing the internal battle theme, repeated.
I fear that the crash is coming
Anxiety about an impending mental or emotional breakdown, repeated.
I'll brace my bones
Preparing for the impact and potential consequences, repeated.
Gotta switch my role
Recognizing the need to change behavior or perspective, repeated.
It's time to take back control
Empowering oneself to regain control of life, repeated.
Yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement, repeated.
