She Speeds
Chasing Elusive Freedom: Decoding 'She Speeds' by Straitjacket Fits
Lyrics
And I quietly count with her gone
Reflecting on the absence of someone and quietly counting the moments.
Name any number and I'm counting beyond
Expressing a willingness to go beyond any number mentioned, suggesting a longing.
Playing it coolly, though you know it isn't even really there
Behaving calmly, despite the realization that something essential is missing.
Caress one night away, I was looking for more
Recalling a night of intimacy but seeking more from the experience.
More, more, more
Repetition emphasizes the desire for more.
But she
Transition to the description of 'she.'
She speeds
Emphasizing her elusive and fast-paced nature.
Elusive as a thief in the night, she's stealing away
Comparing her to a stealthy thief, highlighting her ability to escape unnoticed.
She rides the wind, she burn, burns
Describing her movement as riding the wind with intensity.
Yeah she rides the wind, she burn, burns
Reiteration of her dynamic and burning presence.
And her speeding, her freedom's what's appealing to me
Expressing attraction to her speed and freedom.
to stop her in her tracks
Desire to halt her actions but struggling to do so.
Match an act with flat tactics of attack
Attempting to counter her actions with a planned strategy.
These eyes may be steady but my cigarette is shaking
Physical symptoms, like a shaking cigarette, indicating inner turmoil.
With way deep saying, why don't you leap in
Suggesting a deep emotional connection and encouraging involvement.
But she, she goes, so no
Despite the desire, she continues on her path without stopping.
Leave it, but you know at times it seems
Accepting the situation but acknowledging occasional need and longing.
oh I need her more than my mind
Expressing a strong emotional need for her presence.
Yeah, I need her more than my mind
Reiteration of the emotional need for her, emphasizing the mind's dependency.
Oh I need her more than my mind
Repeating the sentiment of needing her beyond rational thought.
