Description
An explosive mixture of hungover dawn, rock “n” roll illusions and eternal ‘what the hell’. Sirens, empty spending and endless attempts to prove to yourself that your soul is still intact, even if your body is falling apart at the seams. There is laughter through swearing and longing for youth that seems as if it never existed. Everything is based on honest confession: the chance is lost, the burden is still there, but while the music is playing, you can at least swear out loud and drive on, even if there is no one else in the car.
Lyrics and translation
Original
That's a horrible idea
Yeah, right?
Hahaha
That's why
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn
Every night I drive in the summer
Head out of the window, I'm a skydive jumper
Two bags like the eyes they under
Chasin' good times 'til we die, motherfucker
Wasted years, but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn
Goddamn
Goddamn
I swear too much, fuck, yeah, tell me somethin' I don't know
I care too much, so what?
Life's short, and I spent too many hours doin' nothin' about it
And I spent too much money that never amounted to nothin'
I've been drownin' in somethin'
I'm a downer on substances
I'm a functionin' junkie turnin' my life around
Wasted years, but kept my soul
I always knew my home was rock 'n' rollin'
Days are short, before I go
I want my casket laced with guns and roses
Goddamn, thought we had a chance
Slipped right through my fingers when I had it in my hands
Yeah, goddamn, try to understand
That's the way it was, but it isn't who I am, goddamn
Never had a chance to be young, goddamn
No one grows old where I'm from, goddamn
Goin' through the motions all alone, goddamn
I can't lift this weight off of my shoulders, goddamn
Feel like they forgot my city, goddamn
No one sittin' shotgun with me, goddamn
I can feel the cracks in my bones, goddamn
I don't think I'm ever goin' home, goddamn
See somethin' pretty, then I look too close
Do somethin' shitty, so my darkness shows
Push you away 'til you let me go
Sick of who I am
Goddamn
Goddamn
