Fast Car
Life's Gridlock: A Journey in Stagnation
Lyrics
Just another day
Expressing the monotony of everyday life.
Going nowhere fast
Feeling stuck and not progressing quickly.
Tryna catch a break
Attempting to find an opportunity or stroke of luck.
But they just fly past
Efforts to improve one's situation are fruitless.
Working for the man well it feels so wrong
Discontent with working for someone else.
Wanna kick the gas but the handbrake's on
Desire to move forward but facing obstacles.
Feel like a fast car
Feeling like a high-speed vehicle but stuck in congestion.
Stuck in a traffic jam
Being trapped in a situation with no progress.
Don't know what to
Uncertain about how to deal with frustration.
With this frustration
Expressing the emotional struggle with frustration.
I can't go forward
Feeling unable to move forward in life.
Can't go back
Unable to return to a previous state.
Life feels so far away
Sense of detachment and distance from life's goals.
From where i am
Expressing a feeling of being far from desired achievements.
Stuck in a jam
Metaphorically stuck in a difficult situation.
Gridlock baby
Emphasizing a state of complete standstill.
Still not over the bridge
Not yet overcoming obstacles or challenges.
Heater's on the blink
Experiencing discomfort, perhaps both physically and metaphorically.
It's like sitting in a fridge
Describing a situation as unpleasant, like being in a cold place.
I knew when you called
Receiving unexpected or unsettling information.
That you sounded strange
Feeling caught or trapped after a revelation.
Ooh now i'm caught
Unable to reverse the consequences of a decision.
Can't turn back again
Acknowledging the impossibility of turning back time.
When's it ever gonna stop?
Expressing frustration about a seemingly endless situation.
Cos the grid lock baby's got me locked down tight
Feeling tightly constrained by a difficult circumstance.
There ain't a hope in hell insight
Expressing a lack of optimism or possibility.
Guess its gonna be a long, long night
Expecting a prolonged and challenging period.
Look to my left see the next guy move
Observing others progressing while feeling stuck.
He's creeping' in my space , man, he's gonna' lose
Feeling invaded or encroached upon by others.
I didn't come this far to give a single yard
Refusing to give up ground or compromise.
I'm under her wheel's and it's breaking my heart
Being emotionally affected by difficulties in life.
