Wrecked Metal
Zeigeist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See the houses rush on by
Reach out your hand touch my arm and
Let me breath you,as you cry
I can hardly wait
Hope we won't be late
And you know its time
Just ignore all signs
The goal is to get there
Without fear in high speed
We dance through the darkness
We won't stop 'til we're stopped
Suck my thumb and feel my finger
As it wipes your tears away
Watch the concrete come on closer
Marks of us will always stay
Face is aged by fear
Pass along the weir
And we won't grow old
Corpse look fine when cold
The goal is to get there
Without fear in high speed
We dance through the darkness
We won't stop 'til we're stopped
The goal is to get there
Without fear in high speed
We dance through the darkness
We won't stop 'til we're stopped
The goal is to get there
Without fear in high speed
We dance through the darkness
We won't stop 'til we're stopped
The lyrics to Zeigeist's "Wrecked Metal" appear to be written in a way that is both intimate and explosive. The song seems to be about a wild, reckless ride - one that is taken without concern for the potential consequences. In the first verse, the singer instructs the listener to press their foot down and let the houses rush by. The second line is particularly interesting, as it suggests an act of vulnerability - the listener is instructed to reach out and touch the singer's arm while they cry. This suggests a close emotional bond between the two, as if they are sharing an intense moment of closeness.
The second verse is a little more cryptic, but it seems to be about the inevitability of fear and aging. The concrete is coming closer, and there is a sense of urgency to the proceedings. The line "Corpse look fine when cold" is particularly eerie - it suggests a willingness to embrace death or destruction, as if the physical body is unimportant. The repeated chorus ("The goal is to get there / Without fear in high speed / We dance through the darkness / We won't stop 'til we're stopped") further reinforces the idea of reckless abandon, of setting a goal and charging towards it with all one's might - no matter the cost.
Overall, "Wrecked Metal" is a song that conveys a sense of danger, intensity, and possibly even madness. It speaks to a longing for something more, for a way to escape the mundanity of everyday life in search of something more exhilarating - even if that something is ultimately destructive.
