Gas Station Light
Gas Station Light: Heartbreak, Reflections, and Broken Promises
Lyrics
I guess I spent a little too much money
I overspent a bit
But on my way home there's a homeless man
Encountered a homeless man on my way home
He's wearing a Kenzo sweater
Noticed he's wearing a Kenzo sweater
I know I'm really not any better
Realizing I'm not morally superior
The whole world is in lockdown right now
Global lockdown, but I'm emotionally vulnerable
But my heart is cut wide open
Feeling emotionally exposed
I got hurt in the hunting field
Emotionally wounded in a challenging situation
Where my shield was shot and broken
Lost protection, faced adversity
My heart is exposed
Heart metaphorically open and vulnerable
Like a gas station light
Comparing heart exposure to a gas station light
I am a sinking ship
Feeling like a sinking ship
I am the Titanic
Symbolically likening self to the Titanic
If you think you are the broken one
Challenging others who feel broken
Take a look in my bathroom mirror
Suggesting self-reflection in a bathroom mirror
If you wanna be a voice of your time
Questioning the credibility of those claiming to represent the current era
Don't you think you should have pulled the trigger
Questioning the authenticity of their impact
My heart is exposed
Reiteration of emotional vulnerability
Like a gas station light
Repeating the gas station light metaphor for emotional exposure
This is the promised land
Referring to the current situation as a promised land
I was my father's plan
Alluding to following a plan set by the father
Got broken on demand
Experiencing hardship as per the plan
Wasting everything
Wasting everything emotionally
Love don't really go by me
Love not affecting the person significantly
Bad decisions sent us back to start
Poor choices leading to a reset
And now all our hotels are burning
Metaphorically describing challenging times
I wonder when I'm gonna lose my stocks
Concerns about financial losses
I wonder when I'll get my final warning
Anticipating a final warning or consequence
