about
There here is the new single from Diesel Boots
It's a 90s angst song from the perspective of a 50-year-old man looking back on all that 90s angst thirty years later all like, huh.
Recorded April 20, 2022 at Thee Culveric Catacombs
except drums and fiddle self-recorded by their respective performers
lyrics
Like canaries in the mine, celebrating
cuz they air they're breathin' chokes their lungs for free
We were lost in a fog of desperation
like everything we touched was meant to be.
You are I were only bleeding on the rails,
with a different set of reasons to survive
we were young and we were living on the wires
But living doesn't mean that we're alive
Sleeping wide awake. Bleeding our mistakes.
Was a week a more of silent, gentle gliding
spent cigarette butts filling up the tray
Took one last look you and gazed at my reflection
In the parts of you the light could not escape.
You are I were only bleeding on the rails,
with a different set of reasons to survive
we were young and we were living on the wires
But living doesn't mean we were alive
Bleeding our mistakes. Dreaming wide awake.
Your new man's aplomb, all flashin' gold and reckless
He's slicker than a walrus in the rain
makes you wear your hair down, hides your wisdom lines
But it doesn't do a thing to hide your pain.
You are I were only bleeding on the rails,
with a different set of reasons to survive
we were young and we were living on the wires
But living doesn't mean that we're alive
We were young and dumb and drunk on expectations
Convinced the other shoe would never fall
We were high on love and stolen medication
Each, each other's reason to survive
Bleed out our mistakes.
