Yes, I was drunk Lyrics
Yes, I was drunk,
You’d be the same
The windows were bending,
and decorated with rain
I couldn’t speak,
‘Cause my thinking was stunned
I picked up the keys,
you forced me to run.
Nothing could stop me leaving
the impulse runs through my blood
And I hope you live for your freedom,
I hope you enjoy the lust
And I got in the car,
And put her in to first.
Not stopping for lights,
‘Cause my vision was blurred
One hand on the wheel,
the other open and cut
You know I still have to tow,
You know I wanted to stay
The car in front
Kept tapping on-off the breaks
Nothing could stop me leaving
The impulse runs through my blood
I hope you live for your freedom
I hope you enjoy the lust
So I let go,
So I let go,
Ignoring the lines, that mark out the road
And I wanted to meet the one,
The one with the healthy glow
So I let go,
You made me let go
I think I just needed a rush, needed a rush.
Nothing could stop me speeding
Or missing that bend in the road
A 90 head-on collision
Is how I lost control
So I let go,
So I let go
Ignoring the lines, that mark out the road
Wanted to meet the one,
The one with the healthy glow
So I let go,
You made me let go
I think I just needed a rush, needed a rush.
You’d be the same
The windows were bending,
and decorated with rain
‘Cause my thinking was stunned
I picked up the keys,
you forced me to run.
the impulse runs through my blood
And I hope you live for your freedom,
I hope you enjoy the lust
And put her in to first.
‘Cause my vision was blurred
One hand on the wheel,
the other open and cut
You know I wanted to stay
The car in front
Kept tapping on-off the breaks
The impulse runs through my blood
I hope you live for your freedom
I hope you enjoy the lust
So I let go,
Ignoring the lines, that mark out the road
The one with the healthy glow
So I let go,
You made me let go
Or missing that bend in the road
A 90 head-on collision
Is how I lost control
So I let go
Ignoring the lines, that mark out the road
The one with the healthy glow
So I let go,
You made me let go

from an interview: "A confession. The song title says it all. A fictional story I made up and put over a building piece of music that climaxes with tragedy and a wall of guitars." pretty obvious meaning really. It's a beautiful song :)
I'm almost sure it's "Ignoring the lines" rather than "ignoring the lights". They sound almost identical with his accent, but it sounds much more like "lines" to me, and it makes more sense.
I've got a very acute ear for Scottish accents (90% of my iTunes collection has been Scottish bands for years, and I had a Scottish professor for a year in college) and I agree that it's definitely "lines" rather than "lights".

And it does indeed make more sense, as lines "mark out the road", not lights.

Still have control, not still have to tow...
pretty sure this song is a bout drunk driving, he had a fight and started drinking. he grabbed his keys and drove and had a accident. 'And I wanted to meet the one, The one with the healthy glow' thats an angel or something thats bringing him to heaven
