The Killing Road Lyrics
At mach speed we engage
Feeding people's rage
The big cat's left it's cage
Back in the bus again
To catch another plane
This behavior's quite insane
But we do it for the fame, yeah
I lost my life to the killing road
It always starts again
Another show's around the bend
Another long lost friend
Faceless as the snow
There's nothing special about the road
It's just another haul
It's just too damn long that's all, yeah
heard dave getting interview bbc's friday night rock show about this song. Touring is hard, you can lose your mind and and friends. You want to go home but you have more shows to play "It's just too damn long that's all"
I think it's just about an adrenaline junkie going down a road really fast to make his journey less boring "It's just too damn long, that's all." and crashes and hits someone else and dies, there's a picture of the road in the remasters booklet in the background of the lyrics to this song. I don't think there's a deeper meaning.
You're an idiot. It's blatently about touring you retard.
Yeah, thats pretty stupid sickstring, as serge said, it is blatently about Dave Mustaine touring around. Anyways, pretty catchy song, don't know why ppl like to rip on Youthansia so much, sure it's no KIMB...ABIS, CTE or RIP, but still, Youthansia is still a good album. \m/
Great song and I thank Dave and boys for still touring!!
On megadeth.com the link to all the touring dates is named Killing Road. I love the snarl in Dave's voice. Great jam.
