This is song’s message is similar to the other nonconformist messages prevalent in Fox’s songs that tend to criticize the bureaucratic tendencies of society. Here it is done more subtly and uses the double meaning of trigger to imply that living and unfulfilled life is worse than death.
[Verse]
Hold up, just stop for a minute, please
I didn't catch your drift
More death than legs on a millipede
And you call it a gift
I've been waitin' for so long
Waitin' to hold on
So keep your ears to the ground
'Cause twenty million miles will never hold me down
[Pre-Drop]
Forget about choices, just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
[Drop]
(Ohh!)
Reach for the trigger and pull it
(Ohh!)
Reach for the trigger and pull it
[Pre-Drop]
Forget about choices, just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
[Drop]
(Ohh!)
Reach for the trigger and pull it
[Verse]
Hold up, just stop for a minute, please
I didn't catch your drift
More death than legs on a millipede
And you call it a gift
I've been waitin' for so long
Waitin' to hold on
So keep your ears to the ground
'Cause twenty million miles will never hold me down
[Pre-Drop]
Forget about choices, just get to it
Blame it on the voices that told you to do it
You got a revolver and some bullets
Reach for the trigger and pull it
[Drop]
(Ohh!)
(Ohh!)
