Little Silver Cross
Yearning for Freedom: Little Silver Cross's Quest
Lyrics
Watching the news man for somewhere to go
Searching for direction by watching the news.
Waiting for something
Anticipating something.
That's coming too slow too slow
Desire for something happening faster.
Too slow, too slow, too slow, too slow
Repetition emphasizing the slowness of the awaited event.
Too slow, too slow, too slow, too slow
-A good bunch of will nots
Referring to a group of individuals with missed opportunities in education.
Who fucked up in class
Those who made mistakes in class.
And sold all their good stuff
Selling valuable possessions for gasoline.
For gallons of gas watching the news man
Observing the news for a destination, possibly with a sense of hopelessness.
For somewhere to go dying for something
Yearning for something with a slow arrival.
That's coming too slow too slow
Repetition emphasizing impatience.
Too slow, too slow, too slow, too slow
-Too slow, too slow, too slow, too slow
-A little silver cross
Reference to a small silver cross, a symbolic object.
Held tight in the light, shinin' blue
The cross is held tightly, shining in the light.
In a pretty midnight Ford blowing heat
Describing a midnight Ford car emitting heat.
Holding two
The cross is holding two, possibly two people.
With a beating heart in the backseat
A beating heart in the backseat, symbolizing life and emotion.
Now breakin' loose beaming down the road
The situation is breaking loose, moving down the road.
They threw the town out the window
Metaphorical act of disregarding the town and embracing freedom.
And sat in the rain
Sitting in the rain, possibly indicating resilience or indifference.
They had blankets and pillows
Having comfort items like blankets and pillows.
And they had hearts for brains
Suggesting a balance between emotions and rationality.
They said that you can feel good
Emphasizing self-care and feeling good.
But ya gotta be good to yourself
Highlighting the importance of being good to oneself.
Yeah, you gotta feel good
Encouragement to feel good.
But you gotta be good to yourself be good
Reiteration of the need to be good to oneself.
Be good, be good, be good, be good
Repetition emphasizing the importance of being good.
Be good, be good, be good, be good
-A little silver cross
Repetition of the reference to the small silver cross.
Held tight in the light, shinin' blue
Reiteration of the cross being held tightly and shining.
In a pretty midnight Ford blowing heat
Repetition of describing the midnight Ford emitting heat.
Holding two
Repetition of the cross holding two.
With a beating heart in the backseat
Repetition of a beating heart in the backseat.
Now breakin' loose beaming down the road
Reiteration of the situation breaking loose and moving down the road.
