Lyrics

Been looking for something

Expressing a search or quest for something.

In the middle of the street

Suggesting that the search is taking place in a public and exposed space.

An addictive devotion to feed

Describing a strong, potentially harmful, and consuming dedication.


Well the cars are approaching

Referring to the presence of external factors or obstacles.

Coming at the wrong speed

Highlighting a sense of danger or urgency due to the wrong pace of approaching cars.

And you feel that you're living and free

Suggesting a feeling of liberation and vitality in the midst of challenges.


There's a will left to survive

Implies a determination to persevere despite difficulties.

And a lot more on my mind that isn't ordinary

Indicating a complex mental state with thoughts beyond the ordinary.

It's a tradeoff I suppose

Recognizing a tradeoff in life, likely between different priorities or goals.

For the life I'll never own and never give to you

Expressing a sense of unfulfilled aspirations and a reluctance to share them.


When the engines are running but the thrill is too cheap

Describing a situation where external activities lack excitement or fulfillment.

What you needed to function, won't please

Suggesting that what is essential for functionality is unsatisfying.


Now you don't see it coming and you won't feel the bleed

Warning of an unexpected event and its consequences.

Better think of another person to be

Advising to consider alternative perspectives or individuals.


There's a will left to survive

Reiterating the determination to endure despite challenges.

And a lot more on the line that isn't ordinary

Highlighting additional complexities in life beyond the ordinary.

It's a tradeoff I suppose

Acknowledging the inherent tradeoffs in life choices.

For the things I can’t control and never wanted to

Expressing a lack of control over certain aspects of life.


There's a will left to survive

Repeating the theme of determined survival amidst mental complexities.

And a lot more on my mind that isn't ordinary

Reiterating the presence of intricate thoughts beyond the ordinary.

It's a tradeoff I suppose

Reaffirming the recognition of life's unavoidable tradeoffs.

For the life I'll never own and never give to you

Reflecting on unattained aspects of life and the reluctance to share them.

It's a tradeoff I suppose

Repeating the acknowledgment of life's inherent tradeoffs.

For the life I'll never own and never give to you

Reiterating the reluctance to possess and share a particular life.
