Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Driving round in your car, the thoughts are piled up very, very far.
Did you know the time?
Did you happen to read the last three mile marker signs?
A bright flash of white, flashed before my eyes.
Along with the centipedes, the birds, and the dragonflies.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
Riding round my car, I look up just in time to see I've one too far.
And where we?
Well you're not here you're back where you're supposed to be.
I miss your hair.
I yell unto a passing man but he just stares.
He stares at me, well, seeing what he wants to inside.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You'll come crashing round, bleeding me, holding me down, I think I like it.
You'll come crashing round, around, around.
But did you know I loved you more than I could ever show?
And did you know that something deep inside you that would fail to grow?
And did you see there's something inside of me?
But did you know the tales of the dragonfly?
You're my dragonfly! Dragonfly! Dragonfly!

You're my dragonfly! Dragonfly! Dragonfly!

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I LOVE this song. Amazing.
I agree.
Heh, this is definitely one of my all-time faves too. The meaning is especially true to me, as I had a huge crush on a girl, but never got up the balls to talk to her. Only when it was too late and I had moved away did I find out she liked me too. This song always seems to bring me back to that time.
@fireal5414 what is the meaning to this song?
this song reminds me of just cruisin around in danns jeep. cuz everytime we would cruise he would put on this song. i love this song and i know it doesnt have anything to do with cruisin around with dann but that's just what i think of when i listen to this song. it's one of my favourite atomship songs
fireal5414, I went through the same sh't once in my life.
Yeah, pretty sure everyone has, sometimes it sucks having a fear of rejection...
The part where it says, but did you know I loved you more than I would ever show, and did you see there's something inside of me, That parts hits home for me. To me its saying "There's something deep inside of me" As in drug problems, relationship problems, Insecurity's and not being able to show what emotion you are feeling because you don't know, hence did you see there's something inside of me. Any ways good band I bought their cd off eBay!
