Ty Cobb
Reckless Descent: Soundgarden's Hot Rod Death Tale
Lyrics
I'm sittin' in a magic hat
Introduction: The speaker is in a metaphorical "magic hat."
With smoke and mirrors
Describing the setting with illusions and distractions.
And tire rubber fires Watch me disappear
Reference to dangerous and reckless behavior, willing to vanish.
What made it slow you down
Questioning what slowed down progress or success.
Sucking on a ball and chain
Metaphorically stuck, hindered by a burdensome situation.
Another motherfucker goes down the drain
Expressing frustration as another person faces failure.
Hard headed fuck you all
Defiant attitude, rejecting societal norms or expectations.
Hard headed fuck you all
Repetition emphasizing defiance and accumulating consequences.
Hard headed fuck you all
-Just add it up to the hot rod death toll
-Hard headed fuck you all
-Hard headed fuck you all
-Hard headed fuck you all
-Just add it up to the hot rod death toll
-Sick in the head sick in the mouth
Describing mental and verbal disturbance.
can't hear a word you say
Ignoring others, creating a sense of isolation.
Not a bit, and I don't give a shit
Indifference and disregard for others' opinions.
I got the glass, I got the steel, I got everything
Having all the tools needed for success.
All I need is your head on a stake
Expressing a desire for someone's downfall.
Hard headed fuck you all
Repetition of defiance and accumulating consequences.
