When Horsepower Meant What It Said
Unveiling the Forgotten Paths: A Reflection on Shifting Times
Lyrics
Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Describing a traffic jam where cars are closely packed in all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane
Referring to air pollution and noisy chaos caused by car horns
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
People waiting to regain their old employment
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
Metaphorically carrying the burden of humanity on their shoulders
How easily forgotten,
Highlighting the tendency to forget important things easily
How easily we're led
Commenting on how people are easily influenced or guided
How hard the path is trodden
Expressing the difficulty of the path taken in life
From when horsepower meant what it said
Reflecting on a time when the term "horsepower" had a straightforward meaning
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
Claiming to have ample potential or power (horses) but unable to utilize it
But i can't put my foot down and jumped the fences in the field
Unable to take risks or break free due to constraints
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
Reiteration of people waiting to reclaim their previous jobs
How easily forgotten,
Repeating the theme of forgetting important aspects easily
How easily we're led
Reiterating how people are easily swayed or guided
How hard the path is trodden
Emphasizing the challenges faced in life's journey
From when horsepower meant what it said
Reflecting on a time when "horsepower" had a genuine meaning
And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still
Questioning the idea of progress when personal advancement seems stagnant
Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
Suggesting a pause to reflect and communicate, perhaps with nature (horses)
How easily forgotten,
Reiterating the tendency to forget crucial elements easily
How easily we're led
Reiterating how people are easily influenced or guided
How hard the path is trodden
Emphasizing the difficulty of the path taken in life
From when horsepower meant what it said
Reflecting on a time when "horsepower" had a clear and honest meaning
How hard the path is trodden
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of the path taken in life
From when horsepower meant what it said
Re-emphasizing the genuine meaning of "horsepower" in the past
