Drive Blind Lyrics

Can't see the lights or the blue orange signs.
Can't see the road or the long white lines.
Feeling the ground through the pedals in the floor,
Feeling death pounding at the door.

Windows all open, chaos in my hair,
Driving me 'round and leaving me there.
Cover my eyes and we'll die driving blind.
Cover my trail and we'll leave life behind.
Drive Blind.

All at once, too much light.
Captured and frozen, hear no sound.
Bright flashes penetrate,
Glowing, flowing, lifting off the ground.

I agree with the above! Good old head-banging, grungy teen angst song! And oh man, what a song! I'm a teenager of the current times, and never thought I'd be dwelling into the music genres of the late 80s / 90s! But wow, I can't stop listening to this song! Looove it.

Ah, teenage angst doesn't get much better than this! Let's write a song about committing suicide in a nice, messy road accident. Not sure whether the last line refers to hitting oncoming traffic and being flipped into the air (explaining the 'too much light') or driving off a cliff (light reflecting from warning signs and barriers before they smash through?).

I thought this was deep and meaningful when I was a teenager. Now I think it's silly, but it's still a corking track.
