Lyrics for Out of Gas as interpreted by numb

Out of Gas Lyrics
Out of gas
Out of road
Out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
And I said:

You will come down soon, too
You will come down too soon
You will come down soon, too
You will come down
You'll come down, come down
You will come down soon, too
You will come down too soon
You will come down soon, too
Soon enough you will come down, come down

Out of gas
Out of road
Out of car
I don't know how I'm going to go and
I had a drink the other day
Opinions were like kittens
I was giving them away
I had a drink the other day
I had a lot to say
And I said:

You will come down soon, too
You will come down too soon
You will come down soon, too
Soon enough you will come down, come down
You will come down soon, too
You will come down too soon
You'll come down, come down
You'll come down, come down

The lyrics of this song may be some of the most creative in all of Brock's writings. The first three lines are the most creative way I could think of to say that he is literally stuck in life, and has no where to go from there. Being out of gas, out of car, means even if he does obtain one, he still doesn't have the other to go anywhere. And in the event he can get those aspects figured out, he doesn't even have road to move on, and so he is still completely and utterly stuck.

So where all roads in life end, in intoxication. he drunkenly is telling everyone around him that no matter how good it is at that moment, they are gonna fall back into the same position he is. And he is telling everyone, like one gives away kittens....

I dunno, that seems less insightful now that I've written it down.

I heard somewhere that this song is about doing coke. You know, how he says you will come down 16x?

to me its saying "out of gas out of road"
meaning that every one gets stuck in there life and that the only thing you have left is your thoughts and that it happens to every one in "you will come down soon too"

I agree with what has already been said. If it means anything, I've always had an affinity for this song -- I just dig the overall tone I guess. It reminds me alot of Sonic Youth's stuff -- and that's never a bad thing.

clearly, this song is about a person being down on their luck, and having people around them that are not experiencing the same life situations. isaac is simply letting them know that they, too, will experience the not-so-fabulous times in life.


absolutely fucking fabulous.

i figure it's him realizing how cyclical drug use is. when you do a drug and get high, everything is great. you feel great, more importantly, then sooner or later you crash, or as it is known in the drug world, you come down. it's a depressing feeling and sometimes it's so intense you wish you hadn't of done the drug in the first place. But once that's over with, you're ripe and ready to go at it again. Always coming down too soon.
