Gasoline
Seeking Liberation: Battling Uncertainty in 'Gasoline'
Lyrics
I want out, I need out
Expressing a strong desire to escape or be liberated.
I want out, I need out
Reiterating the intense need to break free from a situation.
How bad can things get
Raising a question about the severity of the current circumstances.
How much worse can it be
Contemplating the possibility of the situation worsening.
Until I say stop
Setting a limit on endurance, expressing a desire to stop the difficulties.
Enough is enough for me
Declaring that the current state is intolerable.
Riding on the shoulders of faith in the Father
Metaphorically riding on faith and relying on a paternal figure for support.
Holding me like gravity
Describing the support as strong and essential, akin to gravity.
Giving me a sense of direction
Feeling guided and purposeful due to a sense of direction.
Guided by the power in three
Referring to guidance influenced by a triple power, possibly a spiritual trinity.
Except when there's no gravity
Highlighting moments when support seems absent, leading to disorientation.
Vertigo insanity
Describing a state of dizziness and irrationality.
Blowing like a leaf in the wind
Comparing emotions to a leaf at the mercy of the wind, signifying vulnerability.
Is how I feel
Expressing a feeling of being adrift and unsettled.
When that leaf is me
Extending the metaphor, feeling like a drifting leaf.
Make it stop
Imploring for the distressing situation to end.
Make it start
Expressing a desire for a new beginning or positive change.
Change from red to green
Using colors to symbolize change, possibly from negative to positive.
Cuz I'm running low on gasoline
Linking the need for change to running low on personal energy or motivation.
Future is so uncertain
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the future.
From the direction that I came
Alluding to the challenges faced in the past and the need for optimism.
I need some hope
Expressing a need for hope and positivity.
Deliver me light and strength
Requesting deliverance through light and strength.
Not just in salvation
Expanding the need beyond just salvation, encompassing everyday strength.
I'm not worried about that future
Expressing confidence in dealing with the immediate future on Earth.
When I'm living here on planet earth
Acknowledging earthly origins and connection to the environment.
And I'm made from its water and dirt
Highlighting the vital connection to the elements that sustain life.
Alive is not enough
Stating that mere existence is insufficient, seeking a more fulfilling life.
Alive is not enough
Emphasizing the inadequacy of mere survival.
I want to live in freedom
Expressing a desire for a life characterized by freedom.
So alive is not enough
Reiterating that merely being alive is not fulfilling.
Make it stop
Echoing the plea for an end to the distressing situation.
Make it start
Reiterating the desire for a new beginning or positive change.
Change from red to green
Continuing the metaphor of color change, signifying transformation.
Cuz I'm running low on gasoline
Connecting the need for change to running low on personal energy or motivation.
Make it stop
Repeating the plea for the distressing situation to end.
Make it start
Reiterating the desire for a new beginning or positive change.
Change from red to green
Continuing the metaphor of color change, signifying transformation.
Cuz I'm running low on gasoline
Linking the need for change to running low on personal energy or motivation.
