Leaving Hell
Leaving Hell: Embracing Freedom Amidst Desperation
Lyrics
Well I'm leaving hell today
Expressing the decision to leave a difficult situation or state of mind.
Pack my bags I'm headed home
Packing belongings and returning home.
I am going to the place, that they call the great unknown
Heading towards an unknown destination with a sense of anticipation.
There's a woman that I love, but I left her all alone
Acknowledging a loved one left behind during the departure.
And by the time she knows that I left I'll be long gone
Anticipating a swift departure without the loved one noticing immediately.
Well the fire's licking my tires as I am moving down the road
Describing the journey with a metaphorical reference to fire.
I am almost to the place that they call the great unknown
Approaching the destination called the great unknown.
I left without my baby, but I'm leaving with my soul
Leaving without the partner but with a sense of self-discovery.
And by the time she knows that I left I'll be long gone
Reiterating the expectation of being gone before the loved one realizes.
Be long gone
Emphasizing the permanence of departure.
Cause the devil he can't catch me, cause I'm moving way to fast
Asserting confidence in evading challenges, symbolized by the devil.
I'm taking pulls of whiskey, with my hammer down on the gas
Indulging in risky behavior, possibly as a form of escape.
You better not look back boy cause we sure ain't going home
Warning against looking back, suggesting a commitment to the chosen path.
And by the time they want us in hell we'll be long gone
Anticipating consequences in hell but expressing determination to avoid them.
I see the light on the horizon, and the air is getting cold
Observing a positive change or hope on the horizon.
I have made it to the place, that they call the great unknown
Confirming arrival at the destination, the great unknown.
To the woman that I love, the one that I left all alone
Addressing the woman left behind, acknowledging the sacrifice.
You see the devil, you tell his ass I said hello
Sending a message to the devil, perhaps defying or challenging it.
You can tell him, he can't catch me, cause I'm moving way to fast
Reiterating the confidence in outpacing the devil.
I'm taking pulls of whiskey, drunk driving his Cadillac
Continuing risky behavior, now involving the devil's Cadillac.
You better not look back boy cause we sure ain't going home
Warning against looking back, reaffirming the commitment to the chosen path.
And by the time they want us in hell we'll be long gone
Repeating the determination to be long gone before facing consequences in hell.
Yeah by the time they want us in hell we'll be long gone
Emphasizing the finality of being gone when hell beckons.
