Drives
Unraveling the Strings of Human Desires
Lyrics
For some it's faith in God above that keeps them to the right
Some find guidance and stability in their belief in God.
Then there's those where fire below keeps them up at night
Others are driven by intense passions or struggles, keeping them awake at night.
Some want to be told what to do
Some individuals prefer being instructed or directed.
Some need to do the telling-to
Others have the need to take charge and give instructions.
They're puppets dancing on a string
People can be like puppets controlled by external forces.
Pulled by mysterious things
These forces are mysterious and not easily understood.
Drives them crazy, drives them out of their minds
The influence of these forces can lead individuals to madness.
It ties them up and they can't get free from it
The impact is constricting, making it difficult for them to break free.
Drives them crazy, drives them out of their minds
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the overwhelming effect on the mind.
It locks them up and it takes control of them
Highlighting the loss of control as the influence takes command.
For some, the feel of drink or pills
Some find solace or escape in the sensations induced by substances like alcohol or drugs.
For some, it's goods and cash
Others seek comfort in material possessions and wealth.
Then there are those darker thrills
Exploring darker pleasures, possibly associated with unconventional desires.
The leather and the lash
Referencing BDSM elements, symbolized by leather and lash.
Some of us still don't know why
Some individuals still lack understanding of their purpose or motivation in life.
We get up, work, live, and die
Life is a cycle of work and existence without clear reasons.
Like an itch that can't be scratched
A metaphorical itch, an unsatisfied longing or desire.
It goes away but it always comes back
This longing is persistent, repeatedly returning despite attempts to ignore it.
Drives you crazy, drives you out of your mind
Similar to line 9, but personalized, addressing the listener directly.
It straps you up and it takes you for a ride
Describing the restraining and captivating nature of the influence.
Drives you crazy, drives you out of your mind
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the impact on the mind.
It ties you up and you can't get free from it
Highlighting the entrapment, making it difficult to break free.
