Gasoline
Forever Slave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just she had a way,
when they found a dead-end.
Just they try to say,
when there is no way.

In you they can't trust,
when your advices were lies.
In things they can't touch,
keeping close till their death

Just see her eyes,...

Should they just forget,

keeping close till their farewell?
Should they feel the fear,
when their chance is far away?

Just they could give up
when the pressure came up


They burn, gasoline.
They cry, tragedy,
when their old heaven is dead

They feel, gasoline.
They trust,...

Memories,...
Where's their heaven now?

In you, they can't trust,
when your advice was a lie.

In things, they can't touch,
keeping close till their end

Just she had a way,
when they found a dead-end.
Just they try to say,...
when there is no way.

Just see her eyes,...
when their freedom died

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Forever Slave's song Gasoline can be interpreted in a number of different ways, but one possible interpretation is that it is about the danger of trusting in someone or something too much, to the point where you become trapped and unable to escape. The opening lines suggest that there may be situations where people feel stuck, with no apparent way out, and yet they continue to believe in someone or something that has already betrayed them. The lyrics then shift to asking whether it is better to forget and move on, or to keep clinging to what is left, even if it is ultimately damaging. The repeated references to gasoline suggest a sense of being consumed or destroyed by something dangerous or combustible.


The second half of the song continues in this vein, with references to memories of a lost "heaven" or idealized past, and the continued struggle to trust despite past betrayals. The haunting final line, "when their freedom died," adds a new layer of meaning to the lyrics, suggesting that the repeated attempts to trust and cling to what is familiar ultimately result in a loss of personal agency and control.


Overall, Gasoline can be seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of putting too much faith in others, and the profound consequences that can result from such misplaced trust.
