Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I'll drink your health, and tell myself
That there's no coming back from this
To cross your palm with silver
And ride the bullet train with the devils kiss
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
Eyes forward,
It's boring
Fast foward
And see it in her ass
Screaming
Ignore it
So sordid
And watch you fade to black
I've been to hell and back just for a second chance
Gasping for breath, you watch me at work
Need electricity to fuel rebirth
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
Eyes forward,
It's boring
Fast foward
And see it in her ass
Screaming
Ignore it
So sordid
And watch you fade to black
I came to face the music
I came to pay you back
I came to watch you suffering
On the TV screen, like a heart attack (x3)
I had a dream of demon seed where I had the chance to laugh
And drop the bomb, with open arms, on your shitty town
Let's watch it tumbledown
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
I picked a ticket to no-where baby, (no-where)
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back... Back...
That there's no coming back from this
To cross your palm with silver
And ride the bullet train with the devils kiss
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
Eyes forward,
It's boring
Fast foward
And see it in her ass
Screaming
Ignore it
So sordid
And watch you fade to black
I've been to hell and back just for a second chance
Gasping for breath, you watch me at work
Need electricity to fuel rebirth
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
Eyes forward,
It's boring
Fast foward
And see it in her ass
Screaming
Ignore it
So sordid
And watch you fade to black
I came to face the music
I came to pay you back
I came to watch you suffering
On the TV screen, like a heart attack (x3)
I had a dream of demon seed where I had the chance to laugh
And drop the bomb, with open arms, on your shitty town
Let's watch it tumbledown
I picked a ticket to no-where baby,
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back...
I picked a ticket to no-where baby, (no-where)
On a one-way ride, ain't no way that I'm coming back
Coming back... Back...

I love this song. It's my favourite of Zero Cipher's. First song I listened to fully. When he says "Drop the bomb with open arms on your shitty town" it kind of makes me think of Murder In Camden... But that's just me. >.> I'm baffled about what it means. I'd say the death of a porn star, but that's kind of obvious. When he says "I came to face the music, I came to pay you back, I came to watch you suffering, On the TV screen, like a heart attack" It sounds like the guy is dead or dying watching what he used to do on the TV. I also assosiate that line with STDs and STIs for some reason. But apart from that, I can't really figure out what all of it means. >.>
