Slow Boy
Drive through Desperation: Unraveling the Layers of 'Slow Boy' by Riley Knight
Lyrics
Take me for a drive, forget my ugly face
Desire to escape personal insecurities and flaws while seeking a distraction.
Leave me on the corner, to free up space
Feeling abandoned or disregarded, left behind to make space for someone else.
Pack away the papers that are scribbled with contempt
Purging negative thoughts or criticisms to make room for a new perspective.
It's time to write another, with the pieces that you've kept
Creating anew using the remnants or lessons learned from previous experiences.
Would you like to start it over
Desire for a fresh start, a chance to begin again.
So the feeling comes on stronger
Seeking a more intense emotional experience or connection.
I know I can't be another
Acknowledgment of individuality while feeling pressure to conform.
But I know something is not alright
Sensing something is wrong or unsettling despite efforts to blend in.
I'm tired of waiting in line, of all your fake goodbyes
Frustration with waiting and insincere partings.
I can't believe what's normal to your deadened eyes
Perception of normalized behavior or situations that lack emotional depth.
So ride me like a one way through the traffic of your mind
Desire to navigate through someone's thoughts or emotions in a one-sided journey.
Then leave me on the shoulder when you're running down your high
Being discarded after assisting or enabling someone's pursuit of a 'high' or elation.
Would you like to start it over
Reiteration of a longing for a fresh beginning.
So the feeling comes on stronger
Desire for intensified emotions or sensations.
I know I can't be another
Recognition of personal limitations while refusing to conform entirely.
But I know something is not alright
Acknowledgment of an underlying issue despite attempts to fit in.
Everything, all the time
An urging to let go of everything consistently, embracing liberation.
Let it go, free your mind
Encouragement to release mental burdens and embrace freedom.
