Cruisin'
Escape the Ordinary: Stone Theory's Cruisin' Unveils a Journey Beyond Roads
Lyrics
I've been drivin' round town
I've been driving around town.
Goin' faster than the speed of sound
Traveling at a high speed, possibly metaphorically referencing a fast-paced lifestyle.
And my wheels, they take me away
My car takes me away, possibly as an escape.
Cause I couldn't handle today
Feeling unable to cope with the present day.
Cruisin' with my windows down
Driving with windows open.
Blasting that Rush out loud
Playing loud music by Rush.
And I don't care what you say
Disregarding opinions of others.
Cause I didn't ask you anyway
Not seeking validation or approval.
Cruisin' down the highway
Driving on the highway.
The music goes and makes me wanna stay
The music inspires a desire to stay and enjoy the moment.
In my car, so I can travel far
Using the car as a means to explore and escape limitations.
From that dead end road
Trying to leave a dead-end situation or place.
And lonely house that I have come to know
Feeling isolated in a familiar, lonely environment.
I've been driving real slow
Driving slowly to absorb surroundings.
Takin' in all the places that I go
Taking time to appreciate places visited.
And I, I feel less alone
Feeling less lonely while immersed in music.
When I listen to the bass of John Paul Jones
Finding solace in the bass of John Paul Jones.
Cruisin' down the highway
Continuing the journey on the highway.
The music goes and makes me wanna stay
The music motivates to linger and enjoy the moment.
In my car, so I can travel far
Utilizing the car to seek distance from confinements.
From that dead end road
Trying to escape a familiar, limited situation.
And lonely house that I have come to know
Feeling isolated in a known lonely place.
And if you
Transition to a conditional statement.
Ask me for a ride
Refusing to offer assistance if asked for a ride.
I will pass you by
Intentionally bypassing requests, leaving the requester behind.
Leave you in my tail lights
Leaving others behind in one's pursuit.
Because some rides
Accepting the necessity of solitary journeys.
You gotta take alone
Realizing some paths must be taken alone.
When you haven't got a clue
Feeling lost and unsure about life's direction.
What to do with life
Recognizing the need to venture far from home to find answers.
Sometimes you gotta travel far from home
Advising the necessity of distancing oneself from familiar places in search of purpose.
