I interpret this song as someone who has given into his sexual addiction once more. I’m going to interpret it as someone who has had a one night stand, but it can be related to pornography or even the essence of giving into temptation in general.
well it’s 3 a.m again, like it always seems to be
drivin northbound, drivin homeward, drivin wind is drivin me
and it just seems so funny that i always end up here,
walkin outside in the storm while looking way up past the tree-line
it’s been some time…
He’s been up all night with his one night stand, and it seems that he always ends up giving in to his lust. Sometimes when you (or at least me) sin, Satan tells you “you are no better than your worst moment”, “this is all who you are”, “look at all these times that you have done this before, you’ll never be able to stop” ;hence why “it always seems to be” this way. It’s “funny”, because you wouldn’t think of him as someone who struggles with this temptation; He goes to/volunteers at church, spreads the word to non-believers, and all in all is a good Godly man. The places that he is driving towards is God’s presence/ forgiveness. He is walking outside in the storm because he doesn’t belong at the house that he was at anymore, because he has done what he was there to do. He looks up to God... it’s been some time since he has given into his temptation (this is the reality and not what satan was leading him to feel earlier) and needs forgiveness.
give me darkness when i’m dreaming
give me moonlight when i’m leaving
give me shoes that weren’t made for standing
give me tree-line, give me big sky, get me snow-bound, give me rain clouds give me a bed time…just sometimes
If he gives into his temptation, then by the time he gets home and falls asleep, the sun will start to rise. He wants it to be dark when he fall asleep, not daylight. If he leaves the party/girls house while the moon is still out/the sun hasn’t risen, then he hasn’t given into temptation. He wants to do whatever it takes to not give into temptation (Matthew 5:29-30: If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It it better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell). He’ll even buy shoes that don’t slow him to sit still, if it means that it will force him to run away from his temptations. He wants God. He would rather be in the snow/rain than be tempted by/giving into sin. He wants to make up any excuse to not sin, even if he sometimes needs to say that he has a bedtime.
now you’re talkin in my room, but there ain’t nobody here
cuz i’ve been driving like a trucker, i been burnin through the gears
i’ve been training like a soldier, i’ve been burnin through this sorrow,
and the only talkin lately is that background radio…
He then changes his dialogue to be directed towards Satan. Satan is continuing to say the un-motivating things that he has been saying, but he isn’t hearing him out. He’s running to god, he’s putting
