Bending Hectic Lyrics
I'm changing down the gears
I'm slamming on the brakes
A vintage soft top from the '60s
We're coming to a bend now
Skidding 'round the hairpin
A sheer drop down an Italian mountainside
And time is kind of frozen
And you're gazing at the view
And I swear I'm seeing double
No one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how
I'm letting go of the wheel
It might be as well
It might be as well
I've got these slings, I've got these arrows
I force myself to
I've got these slings, I've got these arrows
I force myself to turn, turn
The ground is coming for me now
We've gone over the edge
If you've got something to say, say it now
No one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how
I'm letting go of the wheel
Despite these slings, despite these arrows
I force myself to
Despite these slings, despite these arrows
I force myself to turn, turn
(Turn)

And I swear I'm seeing double
No one's gonna bring me down, no

“Bending Hectic” is a song that takes its time to describe a story. The story is about a dangerous drive where the driver is hallucinating on a mountainside. There are long pauses between each sentence, but the lyrics bring life to the song. The driver has a valuable car: “ A vintage soft top From the sixties”. He is hallucinating during his drive: “Time is kind of frozen And you’re gazing at the view And I swear I’m seeing double”. Despite his situation, he accepts his fate: “I’m letting go off the wheel It might be as well It might be as well”. The driver meets his fate: “The ground is coming for me now We’ve gone over the edge.” After he says “I’m letting go off the wheel”, the instrumental becomes louder. It makes a screeching sound like nails on a chalkboard accompanied by an even louder guitar. Everything dies down near the end.
