Dark Horse
Slowblow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the dark goes to the freeway, he's going nowhere
But if I see the race I've searching
It clears for the mood, it will be a good side
There's nothing wrong with (?)
If you dreaming for me to get away, then the night so long
Some call me a good boy and some call me a load star
You can get last, and you don't know who you are
And you don't know when you go away, is it near, is it far?
There's nothing wrong with (?)
If you dreaming for me to get away, then the night so long
Crossing the street is simple to you
But simple thing can sometimes kill you
There's nothing wrong with (?)
If you dreaming for me to get away, then the night so long
There's nothing wrong with (?)
If you dreaming for me to get away, then the night so long

This could be a metaphor for the risks and challenges of life, and how even seemingly easy tasks can have unforeseen consequences.
