Manchester Orchestra – I Can Feel a Hot One Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is about a car crash.


"I was in the front seat, shaking it out
And I was asking if you felt alright
I never want to hear the truth
I want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
My voice, it sounded fine"

That's after the crash. He's in the front seat shaking off what just happened. He wants to hear her voice, and the line "I never want to hear the truth" implies he knows something is wrong, he just refuses to accept it.


"I took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
Hoping you would show your face
But I haven't heard a thing you've said
In at least a couple hundred days
What'd you say?"


He's sitting on the pavement grieving her death longing to see her walk out of the car.


"To pray for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach"

I'm guessing with that line he died as well. Now they're both together in "heaven" with god.

And some more lines that fit in with the crash:

"The blood was dry, it was sober"

"For a moment, I could feel the force
Fainted to the point of tears"

"Manna is a hell of a drug
And I need a little more, I think
Because enough is never quite enough"
