| Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness – Maps For The Getaway Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
It appears that this song is about growing older while still being in band and going on tour.At times comparing this to other careers that are more aligned with the expected norms of society. "...no job with the government" "...no paid holidays" This continues to talk about how touring can be a difficult type of lifestyle. Travel by day (left feeling homeless at times) to a party atmosphere every night all while driving from city to city. "No white picket fence..." "...coffee and aspirin" "No sign of yesterday" "Gas in the tank, maps for the getaway" "All we have is time" There is also an underlying appreciation of having someone close to you while going through this experience. "Somehow you’re still riding in my car" My interpretation but it also appears that it could just be about being young traveling with a loved/special person. |
