Death On Two Wheels makes rock ’n’ roll dangerous again, with slurry-blurry lyrics, half-cocked dreamspeak of portents and regret, and a formidable guitar attack that recalls the nasty duels Allen Collins waged with Gary Rossington before Skynyrd’s final plane ride. Following the same bumpy trail as Kings of Leon, this Atlanta fivesome seems to be in pursuit of darker mysteries on the band’s self-released debut. And unlike the Kings, they have more range and a greater reverence for ’70s classic rock, not to mention the eccentric bite of vocalist Trae Vedder. Could he really have been christened with such a propitious rock name? No matter, he has the same grit and red clay in his voice that Chris Robinson had before he got famous and complacent—but there’s something even more disturbing in Vedder’s delivery that almost veers into goth. Especially on a song like “Bobby Havis,” which shudders with psychedelic anxiety. It’s a song so haunting it could’ve been penned in Rose Hill Cemetery next to Duane Allman’s headstone.

SWEET LOVE
Death On Two Wheels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Sweet Love" by Death On Two Wheels is a melancholic tale of lost love and regret. The singer addresses their lover, telling them that they have found passion but that things aren't going the way they had planned. The singer warns their lover that the things they are doing or not doing will come to get them. The pre-chorus suggests that the lover needs to go back home, that they have carried their cross too long, and that they need to stop being damned by their own thoughts.
The second verse implies that the lover hasn't found their way out yet, but the singer has calmed down and doesn't seem to notice the lover's struggles anymore. The lover is urged to wait for love and to give the singer time to come back to them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sweet Love" and asks the lover if they can feel what the singer is feeling. The singer has fallen in love with a ghost, someone who is no longer there. The bridge suggests that the singer and the lover have been through a lot together, that there have been faults on both sides, but that they have each other's hearts in some way.
The final verse implies that fate has dealt a harsh blow to the lovers' relationship. The singer feels like they have lost their "Sweet Love," and they are left with a sense of sadness and confusion. The song's repetitive nature and the focus on the title phrase reinforce the importance of this lost connection to the singer. They are in a kind of grief, like they have lost something irreplaceable.
Line by Line Meaning
Sweet Love I think you found the passion
You believe you have discovered love
But right now, things aren't what you fashioned
But presently, the reality does not match your expectations
You know these things will come to get you
You are aware that this situation will eventually catch up with you
Oh near your thoughts
Your mindset is limiting you
Damned only your cross and go back home
You are cursed by your own problem and should retreat
By now, you should've found your way out
At this point, you should have escaped from this situation
Calmed down and I don't even notice
You have finally relaxed, and I don't even recognize you anymore
Go on as often I have wondered
Do as you please, as I have often contemplated doing myself
Wait for your love
You should wait for the right person to love
Give me time and I will come and oh...
I will be there for you, just give me time
Oh Sweet Love, can you fear what I fear?
My love, can you empathize with my worries?
Heaven knows, let her go
It's in God's hands, let her leave
Fell in love with the ghost
You have fallen in love with someone who no longer exists
You come and everything is honest
With you, everything is genuine and sincere
I'll watch and bend the ways of calling
I'll observe you and adapt to your ways of communication
You know it's leaving on the way out
You realize that this relationship is ending
Oh for your touch
I ache for your physical affection
You know I need that much and oh...
I require your love very much
Oh Sweet Love, and I feel what I feel
My darling, I experience my emotions deeply
Heaven knows, let her go
The decision to let her leave is up to God
Still in love with the ghost
Despite everything, I remain fond of who you used to be
I'll always find a fault, but don't let your heart be cold, oh
I may criticize, but please keep your heart warm
Sweet Love, you've made a mess of me
My love, you have left me in disarray
I've got your love untold and you've got my weight in gold, oh,
I hold onto your love that is unspoken while you possess something valuable of mine
Sweet Love, you've made a fool of me
My beloved, you have made me foolish
Who knows? Could we have seen it coming?
Who knows? Could we have predicted this upheaval?
What now? When fates about to let you
What to do now when destiny intends to abandon you
Down comes the blow, can't bare to taste it
Here comes the downfall, and it is unbearable to think about it
Oh no, I think I done lost my ... Sweet Love
Oh no, I think I have lost you, my Sweet Love
