The Getaway Lyrics

All of my
Thoughts descend
Wait for me
Up around the bend

Sitting on a wire
Hiding on display
Waiting for the night
As I destroy the day
Where am I?
Don't wait around

The getaway
The getaway

Been around a bit
I see you there
Coming after me
Made you for a pair

Sitting on a wire
Hiding on display
Waiting for the night
As I destroy the day
Run away from me
I would

The getaway
The getaway

All of my
Thoughts descend
Wait for me
Up around the bend

I think this is about wishing to escape from the world, from our thoughts, and from ourselves in this world so stricken with sickness, political unrest & uncertainty.

My Interpretation

The author seems personally tortured and is trying to warn an unsuspecting potential relationship to not get involved. "Waiting for the night as I destroy the day" is a great line.
