Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics
Asleep at the wheel a red light mistake
take my word for what its worth
life at a stand still not one second passes
and in the asphault I see a best friend
(crashing through the window)
dont move
save me
cry out
to god above
And would you save everyone if you
saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further form all of this
abstract emotions in dealing with death
the warmth of my breath turns to ice
beating the concrete your hands
cut and bruised and in the end
not a question of why
(crashing through the window)
dont move
save me
cry out
to god above
And would you save everyone
if you saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring them back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this
never forget what im bleeding
gasp for air now i am apart of this
leave me suffering never break
your promises
never forget and you'll
never forget what i've done
and would you save everyone
if ytou saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this
dont move
save me
cry out
to god above
take my word for what its worth
life at a stand still not one second passes
and in the asphault I see a best friend
(crashing through the window)
save me
cry out
to god above
saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further form all of this
the warmth of my breath turns to ice
beating the concrete your hands
cut and bruised and in the end
not a question of why
(crashing through the window)
save me
cry out
to god above
if you saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring them back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this
gasp for air now i am apart of this
leave me suffering never break
your promises
never forget and you'll
never forget what i've done
if ytou saw them dying
watch as they slip through your hands
bring me back to life bring them back to life
one step further from all of this
save me
cry out
to god above

This song is about questioning why bad things happen to people. Essentially, the author is questioning why God doesn't intervene when bad things happen that are out of a person's control. The Problem of Evil is a central question to the philosophical debate on the existence of God. Why would a perfect, loving God (the Judeo-Christian god specifically) allow people to suffer? Its not an easy question to answer, especially since the solution to evil seems to only be found in God. If you would like more clarity to this debate, please research works by Alvin Plantinga. He's given the most convincing philosophical arguments in the most understandable way.
this song moves from life to death. i cant really get this. im confused. late night hours, mix it with insomnia...me:) someone who has too much time to think about this shizzle
my personal favorite by ACOP....as for the meaning...pretty straight forward...guy gets in a car crash (asleep at the wheel) his best friend gets thrown through the windshield and probably gets killed and the driver probably lives and feels at fault for the death of his friend. the song pretty much narrates the story..
you biznatch has it down. pretty straightforward
sorry but your_biznatch..your wrong....on there live show the lead singer said that it wuz about drunk driving and he wuz in the car with him and they were drunk
This song has actually been "dedicated" by Torry himself to a few different events. He WAS in a car accident. A prety bad one. And one of his friends was in a different car accident that was even worse.
