The Crossroads
Chasing Redemption: Battling Hell Hounds on The Crossroads
Lyrics
The pedal's down and windows shut
The car's accelerator is pressed, and the windows are closed.
The unmarked grave where I woke up
Refers to waking up at an undisclosed burial site.
Searching for the answers that I seek
Expresses the quest for answers in life.
The legend said if you give up
A belief that surrendering leads to losing the only thing that brings joy.
The only thing that makes you love
Emphasizes the importance of perseverance for finding happiness.
You'll finally get up out of this old town
Escaping a small town, seeking a better life.
'Cause a hell hound's out to get me yeah he's coming for my life
A threat from a supernatural dog-like creature pursuing the singer's life.
A hell hound's out to get me so I'll grab the silver knife
Prepared to defend against the threat with a silver knife.
If I see tomorrow will you be there at my door
Questioning if someone will be there in the future.
'Cause the road is getting cold but I still roll
Despite challenges, the journey continues on a cold road.
The Crossroads Life
Reference to a pivotal point in life at the crossroads.
On a search for wealth and fame
Seeking wealth and fame in life.
I carved out my only name
Leaving a mark with a name but without a clear path.
Left it on a road without a trace
Leaving a traceless mark on a road.
Only time will tell my tale
Only time will reveal the singer's story.
Do I rise or will I fail
The uncertainty of success or failure.
Please lord keep my soul from going to hell
A plea for spiritual protection from negative consequences.
'Cause a hell hound's out to get me yeah he's coming for my life
Reiteration of the threat from a supernatural creature.
A hell hound's out to get me so I'll grab the silver knife
Preparedness to confront the threat with a silver knife.
If I see tomorrow will you be there at my door
Questioning the presence of someone in the future.
'Cause the road is getting cold but I still roll
Persistence on the challenging journey despite the difficulties.
The Crossroads Life
Reiteration of being at a crossroads in life.
I'm praying for the night
Expressing a desire and hope for the night.
I'm beggin' for my life
Pleading for the preservation of one's life.
I'm praying for the night
Repetition of a prayer for the night.
I'm beggin' for my life
Repetition of begging for one's life.
'Cause a hell hound's out to get me yeah he's coming for my life
Reiteration of the threat from a supernatural creature.
A hell hound's out to get me so I'll grab the silver knife
Reaffirmation of preparedness to defend against the threat.
If I see tomorrow will you be there at my door
Questioning the presence of someone in the future.
'Cause the road is getting cold but I still roll
Persistence on the challenging journey despite the difficulties.
The Crossroads life
Reiteration of being at a crossroads in life.
