Lonesome Ride
Lonesome Journey: A Soul's Redemption on the Highway
Lyrics
All the miles stack upon me like
Feeling overwhelmed by the accumulation of distance traveled
The granite on the mountainside
Comparing the weight of experiences to the solidity of granite on a mountainside
No time to wait for the dust to settle
Sense of urgency, no time to let things settle
I am haunted by a road that's paved in blood and bad decisions
Tormented by a history marked by violent and regrettable choices
Gotta keep on tearing up that blacktop
Continuing to move forward relentlessly
All the years I've been wandering in these canyons
Years spent aimlessly in difficult situations or emotions
My past seems to always follow
Previous experiences continue to affect the present
Just a shadow on the highway
Symbolizing a transient existence, leaving only a fleeting mark
It's been a lonesome ride
Overall, the journey has been lonely
I let the sound of steel and iron
Allowing the sounds of industry to lead to a new path or phase in life
Carry me on to another life
Using the power of machinery to transition to a different existence
Burning through like wildfire
Intense and rapid progression, leaving a significant impact
It's been a lonesome ride
Reiteration of the loneliness experienced throughout the journey
I let the sound of steel and iron
Similar to line 10, repeating the reliance on industrial sounds for guidance
Carry me on to another life
Continuing the theme of transitioning to a new life through industrial influence
Burning through like wildfire
Repeating the intensity and rapid nature of change
Like wildfire
Emphasizing the powerful and uncontrollable nature of change
It's a lonesome ride
Reiterating the loneliness felt throughout the journey
All the ashes I have scattered on the riverfront
Past actions and consequences linger and affect the present
Find a way to tag along
Past experiences continue to influence the present
Everything around me falls apart
Surroundings and circumstances are falling apart
Dead leaves in my fingers
Symbols of decay or loss, feeling disconnected
I've poured my soul into the Devil's cup
Metaphor for engaging in questionable or morally compromising activities
Am I still the lesser evil
Questioning one's morality and whether they have always been the lesser evil
Have I ever been
Questioning the moral compass and history of actions
Or has heavy fog blurred my vision on the highway
Unclear perception due to confusion or difficulty in understanding the journey
It's been a lonesome ride
Reiterating the enduring loneliness felt throughout
I let the sound of steel and iron
Repeating the reliance on industrial sounds for guidance and change
Carry me on to another life
Continuing to use machinery as a symbol for transitioning to a new life
Burning through like wildfire
Continuing the intense and impactful change
It's been a lonesome ride
Reiterating the ongoing sense of loneliness
I let the sound of steel and iron
Repeating the reliance on industrial sounds for direction and change
Carry me on to another life
Continuing the theme of transitioning to a different existence
Burning through like wildfire
Repeating the intensity and rapid nature of change
Like wildfire
Emphasizing the powerful and uncontrollable nature of change
It's a lonesome ride
Reiterating the persistent sense of loneliness
