Demon Driver
Ride the Fury: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Yngwie Malmsteen's Demon Driver
Lyrics
My one way ride in dead end street
Expressing a journey with no way out on a path with no alternatives.
Leading to victory and glory
Leading towards success and honor.
You seek I hide you'll find defeat
Suggesting a dynamic of seeking and hiding, with the outcome being defeat.
My future's in the hands of fury
The speaker's destiny is controlled by intense anger or force.
You try - but never win
Highlighting the futility of attempts against the speaker.
Can't you see I am the demon driver
Identifying oneself as a powerful force, possibly metaphorically as a "demon driver."
Don't lie it is a sin
Emphasizing the moral consequence of dishonesty.
'cause you know I am the demon driver
Reiterating the speaker's dominance as the "demon driver."
I live to drive and never wait
Expressing a preference for an active, assertive lifestyle without waiting for external help.
For guardian angels riding by me
Rejecting reliance on protective forces, preferring self-determination.
To speed or die I'm never late
Choosing speed and action, accepting the possibility of death rather than delay.
Wherever you are there will be
Suggesting the inevitability of the speaker's presence wherever one is.
You try - but never win
Repeating the theme of futile attempts against the speaker.
Can't you see I am the demon driver
Reasserting the speaker's identity as the formidable "demon driver."
Don't lie it is a sin
Reiterating the moral consequences of dishonesty.
'cause you know I am the demon driver
Emphasizing the speaker's dominance and power.
My one way ride in dead end street
Repeating the description of the one-way journey on a dead-end street.
Leading to victory and glory
Reiterating the path leading to triumph and honor.
You seek I hide you'll find defeat
Echoing the theme of seeking, hiding, and facing defeat.
My future's in the hands of fury
Reaffirming the idea that the speaker's destiny is influenced by intense anger or force.
You try - but never win
Repeating the idea that attempts against the speaker are destined to fail.
Can't you see I am the demon driver
Restating the speaker's powerful and dominant role as the "demon driver."
Don't lie it is a sin
Reiterating the moral imperative of honesty.
'cause you know I am the demon driver
Final affirmation of the speaker's identity as the formidable "demon driver."
