Sean Rowe Lyrics

The stars were tripping on a Tuesday night
The surreal beauty of the starry night sky is emphasized, evoking a sense of natural wonder and awe

I didn t know that it was cold
The singer was too preoccupied with his thoughts to realize the temperature had dropped, reflecting his lack of awareness and disconnection from reality

I got so high that the seasons changed
The singer's intense drug-induced experience distorted his sense of time and reality, causing a shift in perception

I watched as silver turned to gold
The beauty of nature was amplified during the artist's high, making ordinary things like the changing of colors appear otherworldly and almost magical

I dreamed my life
The artist's perception of life and reality is heavily influenced by his dreams, suggesting he's not content with his current circumstances

I was chasing it down
The singer is actively pursuing his dreams and aspirations, determined to achieve them

It didn t have no place to go
Despite his goals, the singer feels lost and directionless, lacking a clear path to success

I shoulda known I woke the devil up
The artist's recklessness and carelessness inadvertently led to negative consequences and danger

I shoulda heard the engine groan
The artist missed warning signs that something was about to go wrong, once again highlighting his disconnect from reality

The road was shaking but my hands were still
Despite the danger, the artist remains calm and somewhat detached, a testament to his internal emotional turmoil and numbness

The lights were dancing on their own
The surreal nature of the moment is emphasized as everyday objects like lights appear to come alive

I lit the dash I took my sun glasses off
The artist takes control of the situation and tries to stay alert and focused

I like to see that fucker glow
The singer takes a perverse enjoyment in his car's dashboard lights, giving insight into his deeper character flaws

Remember after school at the Skyler Park
The singer reminisces about a happier time in life, a stark contrast to his current situation

Trading in our stories for the dark
The singer and his friends would share their experiences and secrets in the privacy of the night, suggesting a strong bond and sense of trust

In our heads in our own way
The artist values the power of imagination and sees the world through his own unique lens

Remember Megan with her make up off
The artist remembers a specific person from his past, emphasizing the importance of intimate connections

She made us dream she got us off
Megan inspired a sense of hope and excitement in the singer's life, a form of escapism and comfort

It was good that she moved away
Despite the positive impact Megan had on the singer's life, her absence allowed him to grow and become self-reliant

I took a right onto Maple Hill
The artist is driving along a specific route, possibly to clear his head or escape his problems

Somebody laughing in the wind
The wind adds an ominous tone to the artist's journey, hinting at danger and foreboding events to come

I should have felt the rain on my left hand
The artist is once again too lost in his thoughts to notice important details in his surroundings

I should have heard the devil grin
The singer misses warning signs that danger is approaching, possibly foreshadowing tragedy

Lightning came from the other side
The natural elements of the world become an intense, unpredictable force, adding tension and excitement to the song's narrative

I could see the steel explode
The impact of a collision is emphasized, adding a sense of chaos and danger to the scene

The sound of thunder covered up my eyes
The singer is overwhelmed by his environment and circumstances, leaving him at the mercy of the storm

An engine screaming in my nose
The singer is disoriented and overwhelmed by the noise of the accident and his surroundings

The moon was raining down broken glass
The world around the artist is a surreal, dangerous place and even the moon seems to be falling apart

I didn t know I left the radio on
The artist is once again disconnected from reality, leading to forgetfulness and mistakes that could prove disastrous

Until I heard it singing from the mud
The radio provides a soundtrack to the chaos and destruction, further highlighting the sense of disorientation and confusion

Then I saw them standing 'round this little boy
The tragedy of the accident is revealed as the singer sees the lifeless body of a young child

Pale blue skin in his corduroy
The artist describes the child's appearance, adding to the sense of sadness and grief

Pumping his life they were holding on
Emergency responders desperately try to save the child's life, adding tension and heartbreak to the song

Then I heard the walls as they began to weep
The tragedy affects those around him, humanizing the people involved and adding emotional depth and complexity to the narrative

His naked body had gone to sleep
The death of the child is emphasized, showing how the accident has irrevocably changed the lives of those involved

I saw an old woman hit the floor
The traumatic nature of the situation is further emphasized by the physical reactions of bystanders, showing how the accident has impacted many people

My head was gone
The singer is disoriented and overwhelmed by the tragedy he has witnessed

But my clothes were on
The singer has survived the accident physically unscathed, but the emotional impact will be long-lasting

I left my body in the car
The singer experiences a disconnect from his physical self, highlighting his deeper sense of detachment from the world around him

I listened hard for the voice of God
The artist is searching for answers and comfort in the aftermath of the tragedy

I didn t hear nothin' at all
The lack of response emphasizes the artist's sense of existential dread and loneliness

It was a sunset like I'd never seen
The beauty of the sunset contrasts with the sense of tragedy and loss, highlighting the complexity of human emotions

I could almost see the end
The singer is contemplating his own mortality and the fleeting nature of life

I tried to reach it but I blew it away
The artist is unable to find solace or peace, instead feeling overwhelmed and helpless

Then it all turned black again
The darkness and tragedy of the accident eclipse any sense of hope or positivity

And I was a runner more than half my life
The artist reflects on his own past and experiences, perhaps realizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of meaningful experiences while they last

I was a track star back in '95
The singer remembers a specific time in his life filled with hope and optimism, emphasizing how far he's come and how much he's changed since then

I was full almost a man
The artist feels a sense of inadequacy or lack of fulfillment, possibly due to the events of the song that have left him feeling lost and hopeless

And I had a girlfriend back before I died
The singer fondly remembers a past relationship, adding a bittersweet note to the song

The peeled her off from my wounded side
Despite the good memories associated with his ex-girlfriend, the singer has moved on and grown since their relationship ended

I could feel her empty hands
The singer misses the connection he once had with his ex-girlfriend, emphasizing the theme of human connection and vulnerability throughout the song
