This is the inner monologue of a once highly prized automobile, now rusting and rotting in a junkyard. It’s actually quite sad when considered metaphorically through the eyes of an elderly person who has either outlived, or been abandoned by, all known family and friends.
[Verse 1]
It's here I sit and rust amid this ruin and rancor
Like tire irons, toothy grills and car parts before me
The acid rain floods my floorboard
Burns my pores and rots my upholstery
Once I was worshipped, polished magnificently
Now I lay in decay by the dirty angry bay
[Chorus]
I'm ready to leave
I wanna be out of here
I'm ready to ride away
I don't wanna die in here
I'm ready to ride
[Verse 2]
My skin is metallic now, no longer an elegant powder blue
My body unhinged and sleeping in the jungle
Of motor block manifolds and metal relics
What was deluxe becomes debris, I never questioned loyalty
But this dead end demolishes the dreams
Of an open highway
[Chorus]
I'm ready to leave
I wanna be out of here
I'm ready to ride away
I don't wanna die in here
I'm ready to ride
[Outro]
Dig me
But don't
Bury me
