Parallel Lines
Shed Seven Lyrics

Suck on this
A bold proclamation of confidence and power.

Dropping the bits
Crafting and leaving behind a legacy of popular and successful music.

Topping the hits
Continuing to produce chart-topping music and maintain a high level of success.

I've walked miles to be with you
I've gone through great lengths to be with someone that I deeply care about.

Listen to me
Requesting the audience's attention and respect.

On my hands and knees
Begging and pleading for something.

Feeding my greed
Indulging in one's selfish desires and putting oneself first.

And all the while I think it's true
Despite serving one's own interests, there is still a belief that this is the right choice and will lead to happiness.

It's a maximum high
A feeling of intense joy and excitement.

With my parallel lines
Achieving happiness and success in multiple areas of life that run independently yet simultaneously, like parallel lines.

The mirror is long
Reflecting on past experiences.

It's a way to belong
Being a part of something and having a sense of community through shared experiences.

And it's keeping me strong
The shared experiences are giving strength and the ability to persevere through tough times.

And all the style is showing through
The personal style and unique qualities are being showcased and appreciated by others.

It's one day of trust
Building trust takes time, but can be lost in an instant.

Three years of lust
Indulging in carnal desires over a long period of time.

And it's my life or bust
Being willing to take big risks and make sacrifices for what one wants most in life.

And do you feel the same things too?
Asking if the other person shares the same desires and feelings.

You're my queen
Addressing a woman who is seen as the most important in one's life, like royalty.

And you're my machine
Being driven by and supported by someone in achieving personal goals.

A fine dream team
The two people have come together to work towards a common goal and share the same vision for their future.

I'm feeling bright, I feel all new
Feeling rejuvenated and energized by the presence of the other person in one's life.

Yes, that was a joke
An admission that an earlier statement was not to be taken seriously.

Everytime that you spoke
Being annoyed and put off by the other person's constant talking.

Until you finally choked
Being satisfied that the other person has finally run out of things to say.

And I'll be ruling my own roost
Taking control of one's own life and decisions.

I could fax you at work
A reference to a past era of communication where one would send a message via fax rather than email or text message.

And pick you up in my Merc'
Driving to meet the other person in a fancy, expensive car.

And dig deep in your dirt
Finding out secrets or private information about the other person that they may not want shared.

It's the in thing to do
Suggesting that this kind of behavior is trendy or fashionable.

It's my whirlwind
Feeling like everything is chaotic and constantly changing.

And it's my last fling
Indulging in something that may not be possible or appropriate in the future.

You're a millionaire
Addressing someone who is extremely wealthy, and may be flaunting it or using it to their advantage.

And you've been everywhere
Having a lot of life experience and having traveled the world.

And you've done every dare
Having taken risks and done things that others may not have had the courage or ability to do.

Can you see my point of view?
Asking if the other person can empathize or understand where they are coming from.

And it's looks like you know
The other person seems to be in control and aware of the outcome of events.

Where you're going to go
Knowing what the future holds and having a plan.

Where you blow all your dough
Spending large amounts of money, possibly irresponsibly or foolishly.

It's the devil in me
Feeling like there is something dark or sinister within oneself.

And I won't set it free
Refusing to give in to temptation or darker impulses.

'Cause it's locked in me
Feeling like this darker side of oneself is always present and can't be removed or shaken off.

It's my honeymoon
Feeling like one is in a state of bliss or ecstasy and everything is perfect.

I'll take it this afternoon
Feeling like this blissful state will continue for a while longer.

Egg and spoon to the moon
An absurd image meant to convey a sense of whimsy or fantasy.

Getting better, getting better, getting better
Continuing to improve and progress forward.
