now imma break it down in chunks for you:
I'm pedal to the metal, make no mistake - elwood, when he is interested/cares about something
This is my pity party, pity party
And I'm living out of time, eternal heatstroke - he really does live in different time in his head, in fact, he's always of the assumption that time is an illusion and while he ends up wearing two watches later, it's only because one is jake's broken watch and the other is his comfort object.
Spiritual revolt from the waist down, from the waist down - yes he will indulge in premarital sex with any gender ESPECIALLY at the orphanage starting at about 15 probably
I'm just a full tank away from freedom - always. at any given moment. if he needs to run (and sometimes he really does), he's just a full tank from that freedom ALWAYS
Spitfire - he is tho
These are the last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left
The last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we'll get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last - this part really gets me because i feel it more as a flashback to the original bb film, him and jake flying down the highway, full tank away from freedom again, but its the last blues they're ever gonna have and the chorus makes me cry like a whole bitch okay "to the places that we never should have left" - if they hadn't tried so hard to get the band back together, would things be different?????
I got a feeling inside that I can't domesticate
It doesn't wanna live in a cage, a feeling that I can't housebreak - he's always felt like this, this urge, playing the blues helps, the harmonica helps, it always did. he's got a wild, nomad soul and he cant have a "normal" life. he just cannot.
And I'm yours 'til the earth starts to crumble and the heavens roll away - he and jake will always be he and jake, regardless of what happens (au or canon). they are twin flames, soulmates, whatever you want to call it.
I'm struggling to exist with you and without you, yeah - i feel like this kinda goes w/his autism a wee bit like its hard to just exist and probably growing up jake kinda struggled learning him?? if that makes sense? it did in my head looks weird typed out lol
I'm sifting through sand, sand, sand, sand
Looking for pieces of broken hourglass
Trying to get it all back, put it back together
As if the time had never passed
I know I should walk away, know I should walk away
But I just want to let you break my brain
And I can't seem to get a grip
No matter how I live with it - kinda feel this is pretty self explanatory given the rest of the context
