“Ride” links to the idea of searching for something in this society. Freeway” suggests freedom in choosing your way of living or your place in the society. Simile “life is like a ride on a freeway” reflects the subject of persona’s thoughts. The first line sets the mood of the song and suggests that the persona is in deep thoughts about life. The lyrics remind me of a narrative poem. The song also tells us of people who want to fit in so desperately that they compromise their interests and transform their character in order to fit in. It is especially evident for teenagers that are growing up and trying to fit in everything they do.
Generally, the song is about trying to figure out your identity and how you fit in the world. Staring At The Sun is one of my favorite songs not only because of the music but also because of powerful lyrics which combines well with the rhythm. In Americana, the band sings about different events that happen in the life of ordinary American families and teenagers. Their album, Americana not only sold over 10,000,000 copies worldwide but also presented the band in a new light and served as a development of Californian punk-rock. But the core of almost every album has been fast songs with really meaningful lyrics (and not just something that rhymes which can be often heard in punk-rock). My will is something That you can’t confiscate So forgive me, but I won’t be frustrated By destruction in your eyes As you’re staring at the sun Commentary (Staring At The Sun) The Offspring are commonly known to be a punk-rock band but they have taken up so many different styles in their albums that many would agree that they sing something unique which cannot be fitted fully in a specific genre of music. Post Malone’s new album Hollywood’s Bleeding is available for purchase now.Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway Dodging bullets while you’re trying to find your way Everyone’s around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down, but I won’t let them If I seem bleak Well you’d be correct And if I don’t speak It’s cause I can’t disconnect But I won’t be burned by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes As you’re staring at the sun When I ran I didn’t feel like I ran away When I escaped I didn’t feel like I got away There’s more to living than only surviving Maybe I’m not there, but I’m still trying Though you hear me I don’t think that you relate. Staring at the Sun seems to be a metaphor about Post Malone’s inability to fully give his life to someone he loves, and how his passion for music eventually leaves his loved ones longing for more. While there is no confirmation on whether this is what the song is about, one can easily find the parallels in his personal life. The source said, “Post loves Ashlen and cares about her but lives his life as though he’s a rock star. she make my world go roundĪccording to one source speaking to Us Magazine, the rapper loved Diaz, but his lifestyle was too much. This led to a breakup with his ex-girlfriend Ashlen Diaz after being together for three years.Īshlen got me the most beautiful gifts ever. At the time, Malone had a rough time finding the balance between his career and finding time for a relationship. Those who have been following Post Malone’s career might remember the artist went through a breakup back in 2018. This theme returns in the pre-chorus with her adding, “‘Cause I can count on you to let me down/ I won’t put up a fight/ I got lost in the light.” There are lyrics such as, “I try to rewind, I get reminded that time don’t wait for nobody/ Can’t get too close and don’t let it go.” SZA’s verse seems written from the perspective of the girl who keeps being burnt by Malone. “If you keep staring at the sun, you won’t see what you have become/ This can’t be everything you thought it was/ Blinded by the thought of us/ So give me a chance, I will f*** up again/ I warned you in advance/ But you just keep on starin’ at the sun.” Or two, the said loved one keeps hoping he will change, blinded by her hopes that he will - but this will never happen. One, the person who loves Malone is so blinded by his star power that they are unable to see him as flawed. This hook can be interpreted a couple of ways.
