I think people need it to be more complicated than it is.
"It happened fast, it's over quick
A little dust and the engine kicks
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?
A road-owl hit your windshield?
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep?
Did time stand still?
It's a car crash in slow motion..
"All the ashtrays cities and the freeway drives
Broken casinos and waterslides
The 18 wheeler and the payback dives
Gravity pulls on the powerlines
A jetstream cuts the desert sky,
This land could eat a man alive
Let's say you'd leave it all behind"
This is the place the crash happened in - possibly as someone made a journey from one trash city to another (My US geography isnt great).
There's a radio tower, it's egging you on - tired and sleepy, you can see a tower in the distance. Just make it to the tower, then sleep. The Dark Tower perhaps?
Back to the place where you never belonged
Where the people thrive on their own contempt
Whatever meaning is long gone spent
If you had to guess or make bet
Would you place yourself inside of it? - Do you really want to reach where youre heading, or would you rather veer into on coming traffic?
The mountains yawn. the clouds let out a sigh - Life goes on around you. Old life.
