Under the Gun
Escaping Shadows: The Black Keys' Journey Under the Gun
Lyrics
Leaving now, all I have is all I own
Leaving now, expressing departure with only personal possessions.
I'm hoping it's all I need
Hoping that what is owned is sufficient for needs.
Ran me down and the love was like a rolling stone
Love pursued relentlessly, likened to a rolling stone.
Only way out was to leave
Escaping seemed the only option due to circumstances.
On the road but I'm on the run
Traveling, yet feeling chased and threatened.
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
The situation becomes challenging and intense.
We made a deal but the dealer done run
An agreement made, but the one making it has disappeared.
And I'm under the gun
Feeling pressured and in a difficult situation.
Call me at sun down
A call requested during sunset, a crucial time.
I'm under the gun now
Continuing to be under pressure and urgency.
My darkest hour
Facing a challenging and difficult time.
Locked inside my lonely room
Isolation and confinement in a room during a low point.
Counting the cracks on the wall
Examining and contemplating difficulties symbolized by cracks.
Pretty flowers, I still smell the sweet perfume
Memories of better times represented by lingering perfume.
Then I make a mess of it all
Despite positive memories, making a mess of the current situation.
On the road but I'm on the run
Still on the move, but the pursuit continues.
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
The pursuit is devoid of enjoyment and becomes burdensome.
We made a deal but the dealer done run
An agreement made, but the other party has vanished.
And I'm under the gun
Continuing to be in a pressured and difficult situation.
Call me at sun down
Requesting a call during a crucial time of the day.
I'm under the gun now
The pressure persists, and urgency remains.
I drive the interstate
Driving on the highway with the intensity of a storm.
Rode just like thunder should
Desiring freedom from the current challenging situation.
I'd get out from under if I could
Expressing a wish to escape if possible.
Calming the sun down
Attempting to calm down as the sun sets.
I'm under the gun now
The pressure persists, and urgency remains.
On the road but I'm on the run
Still on the move, but the pursuit continues.
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
The pursuit is devoid of enjoyment and becomes burdensome.
We made a deal but the dealer done run
An agreement made, but the other party has vanished.
And I'm under the gun
Continuing to be in a pressured and difficult situation.
On the road but I'm on the run
Still on the move, but the pursuit continues.
It ain't no fun when you're under the gun
The pursuit is devoid of enjoyment and becomes burdensome.
We made a deal but the dealer done run
An agreement made, but the other party has vanished.
And I'm under the gun
Continuing to be in a pressured and difficult situation.
Calming the sun down
Attempting to calm down as the sun sets.
I'm under the gun now
The pressure persists, and urgency remains.
Calming the sun down
Attempting to calm down as the sun sets.
I'm under the gun now
The pressure persists, and urgency remains.
