V-Mob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I'm fallin thin better watch my soul get swallowed
How can everybody win my battle when my head keeps shakin
like a snake that raddles
Fight the demons
my soul is screamin
I Know the right way
But don't know the meanin
My will power
Keep slippin
like a coward
Open up I'm in the situation
charge me guilty to the accusation
It's the only way I can relieve my pain
reality will make you go insane
my mind is sayin
to ignore the pressure
but I'd give my whole life for an ounce of pleasure
Don't question
My will power
Keep slippin
Like a coward
cocaine, cocaine, cocaine, I ; trippin my mind, trippin my mind
cocaine, cocaine, cocaine, I ; trippin my mind, trippin my mind
cocaine, cocaine, cocaine, I ; trippin my mind, trippin my mind
cocaine, cocaine, cocaine, I ; trippin my mind, trippin my mind
why; why; can't; can't; you; you understand; stand
why I can't be a man
my way
highway
I wanna fly way
if I'm gonna die I'm gonna die my way
stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lyrics in V-Mob's song Highway represent a journey of self-destruction due to drug addiction. The singer is torn between his personal demons and the desire to give up his addiction, but is ultimately unable to resist the call of drugs. His use of metaphorical language, such as "Grip my throttle like a whiskey bottle," reflects his struggle to control his addiction, which he compares to a snake rattling in his head, shaking his thoughts apart. He acknowledges his desire for pleasure, but also the terrible cost of addiction. The repeated use of the word cocaine emphasizes the role of this drug in his life and how it has come to dominate his thoughts.
The singer's thoughts are chaotic and unstructured, reflecting his state of mind. He knows that he wants to overcome his addiction, but he does not know how to achieve this, as he says "I Know the right way/ But don't know the meanin." He is torn between his desire to change and his fear of the pain and reality of his situation. He emphasizes the importance of taking full responsibility for his actions, even if it means being charged with a crime, but he also acknowledges that he is slipping like a coward.
In conclusion, V-Mob's song Highway deals with serious themes of addiction, self-destruction, and personal demons. The lyrics are not just about drug addiction, but also about the emotions and thoughts of a person struggling to cope with an addiction he knows is ruining his life. It is important to note that while the chorus may seem celebratory, the verses make it clear that the singer is not in control of his addiction and is fighting a losing battle.

KnotTime
I know im 8 months late, but I'll respond. They had a rap album out in '97, but they wanted to do metal so they made Rough Cut (this, Why, Rippin Scabs, Hurt Me) in '99 and then made part of Equilibrium in '01-'02 and then made there last sampler in '03.
