Double Life
Cold Showers Lyrics

It takes a fast car lady lady to lead a double life
Leading a double life is characterized by living two very different lifestyles that are difficult to reconcile with each other, requiring someone who can move between these worlds quickly - like a fast car driver.

It takes a slow star lady if you want to do it twice
Leading a double life can be a repeated pattern that requires careful execution, hence it is more practical and sustainable when led by someone with a laid-back approach - like a slow but steady star traveler.

You take your backseat rumble, take your frontseat wife
To lead a double life, you must compartmentalize your life, having a completely separate identity and personality for each environment you inhabit, without letting them interfere with each other.

It takes a light foot lady to lead a double life
Leading a double life requires that you tread carefully, staying nimble and quick-witted, to navigate the challenges and staying incognito from potentially revealing patterns.

It takes a good book maybe if you want to do it nice
A good plan and preparation are necessary if someone wants to lead a double life undetected, just like a good manual that outlines the steps to do something effectively.

When you idle at the stop light you better get the signal right
When leading a double life, moments of transition are critical, and you must be cautious not to let one world bleed into the other, thereby giving away your true identity and intentions.

Lifte me from the wondermaze
The singer is pleading to be freed from the complex and confusing existence of leading a double life.

Alienation is the craze
Living and conforming to two different lifestyles can have a psychological toll on people, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and disconnection from their authentic selves and those around them.

And it's all gonna happen to you
The inevitability of experiencing these feelings of alienation and confusion when living a double life.

And you think it's a phase
The singer acknowledges that leading a double life can be something one thinks is temporary and will eventually come to an end, but it often becomes a permanent fixture in their lives.

When you drive in a haze
Living a double life can be so disorienting that one can risk losing focus and making life-altering mistakes.

It takes a freeway lady to lead a double life
A freeway lady - someone who operates at high speeds with no fixed destination- is needed to lead a double life that is constantly in motion, changing from one environment to another frequently.

It takes some leeway lady if you want to do it twice
If you want to maintain a double life over a long period, you need a broader range of flexibility and tolerance for change; because it demands more significant life choices and different sets of decisions not everyone is equipped to make.

Neon blinking on the street, everyone is bittersweet
The world is full of illusions and distractions, and everyone has to grapple with their demons and realities- it is a lonely world.

Freeway lady, you lead a double life
The chorus highlights Conflicting Challenges of the Double life, and asserts that the best example of somebody who gets by despite those challenges is a freeway lady, who can quickly adjust to different environments and make the best out of each one.
