Song Meaning of “Drive by Lies” by 3 Pill Morning
Verse 1:
A life on the road, buying time for tomorrow
Never seemed so long when I’m turning up the sorrow
No promises made, I still can’t ignore it
The thought of a new life keeps me running round and early
This verse shows the narrator feeling a deep restlessness while on the road, and all he can do is buy time for tomorrow. He’s weighed down by sadness and unable to ignore it, and although there are no promises that a new life will make things any happier, the hope of a fresh start drives him forward.
Chorus:
Drive by lies just keep filling my head
My internal storm can’t seem to be put to bed
Sleep is hard to come by I’m so far away from home
My heart is filled with thorns tryin hard to stay away
The chorus reveals the narrator’s loneliness as he’s away from home. He can’t seem to find peace of mind and his heart is full of despair. He’s trying to stay away from home and the false promises he keeps hearing, which have only added turmoil and strife to his life.
