Sure Thing
[minus.driver] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it strange to know
How easily you stopped me?
I've got a reason to blame now
I'll run into the shade with it
I knew you could stop me
But i kind of liked the game
I should have had more self control
And it drives me insane
That there's nothing i can do
About the current situation
And it blows my mind
But that's not what i came for
That's not why i'm here
Looking for an answer
Has created all my fears
It has put me on the run
I act like i'm having fun
I hide all my insecurities
Until i explode

Like a gun
Like a sure thing fired at the sun
Would you run into the grave?
With a gun
With my blood stained hands feeling numb
Would you blow it all away?

How did you get here?
I've got to know
I've tried to figure that out
But that's not what i came for
It's not why i'm here
Looking for an answer
Has created all my fears
Until i explode

Like a gun
Like a sure thing fired at the sun
Would you run into the grave?
With a gun
With my blood stained hands feeling numb
Would you blow it all away?
Like a gun
Like a sure thing fired at the sun
Would you blow it all away?

What have i become?
Self control
Letting go
Has lost all it's fun
Cause there's nothing i can do
About the current situation
And it blows my mind

Like a gun
Like a sure thing fired at the sun
Would you run into the grave?
With a gun
With my blood stained hands feeling numb
Would you blow it all away?
Like a gun




Like a sure thing fired at the sun
Would you blow it all away?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of [minus.driver]'s "Sure Thing" describe a feeling of helplessness and confusion, as the singer has been stopped by someone or something and can't seem to move on from this situation. They blame this on a lack of self-control, hinting that they might have made some choices that led them to be trapped in this situation. The singer is searching for answers, hoping to understand how they got to where they are, but this quest only leads to more fear and insecurity. They feel like they've lost all control and can't do anything to change their circumstances, which is driving them insane.


The repeated metaphor of a gun fired at the sun adds to the sense of desperation and hopelessness in the lyrics. The singer is asking if whoever they're addressing would be willing to go to extremes, even to the point of self-destruction, just to get away from their current situation. The final line, "What have I become?" shows that the singer is questioning their own identity and values, wondering how they got to this point where they feel so powerless.


Overall, the lyrics of "Sure Thing" paint a picture of someone who, despite their best efforts, is stuck in a negative situation that they can't seem to escape from. They feel lost, confused, and like they've lost control over their own life.

Love you like a brother,
Treat you like a friend.
Respect you like a lover
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
If you be the cash,
I'll be the rubber band
You be the match,
I will be a fuse, boom
Painter baby, you could be the muse
I'm the reporter baby, you could be the news
'Cause you're the cigarette and I'm the smoker
We raise a bet, cause you're the joker
Checked off, you are a chalk
And I can be the blackboard
You could be the talk
And I could be the walk
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We could do it baby, simple and plain
'Cause this love is a sure thing
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
You could bet that
Never gotta sweat that
Be the lover, I'll be the fighter baby
If I'm the blunt, you could be the lighter babe
Fire it up!
Writer baby, you could be the quote
If I'm the lyric baby, you could be the note, record that
Saint I'm a sinner, prize I'm a winner and it's you
What did I do to deserve that
Paper baby, I'll be the pen
Say that I'm the one, cause you are a ten
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We could do it baby, simple and plain
'Cause this love is a sure thing
(Now rock with me baby,
Let me hold you in my arms,
Talk with me babe yeah, yeah)
(Now rock with me baby,
Let me hold you in my arms,
Talk with me babe yeah, yeah)
This love between you and I is simple as pie baby
It's such a sure thing (such a sure thing)
Ooh it such a sure thing (such a sure thing)
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We could do it baby, simple and plain
'Cause this love is a sure thing
Love you like a brother,
Treat you like a friend.
Respect you like a lover
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
