The title of the song references Dionysus who is the Greek god of, among other things wine and associated inebriated behavior.
The song harks back to the earlier time of the singer’s life when this type of behavior was the norm (although if you’ve met Jared I’m not sure you’d agree it’s all in the...
We're the kids who packed the Cadillac
Though we knew not what we done
We're the kings that left no walls intact
While hiding from the sun
Outside some Westwood paradise
I knew our aim was true
Took the faith that left me deaf and blind
I put it all to you(?)
We would run
We would run
We would run
Like lightning from a storm
Like lightning from a storm
We'll die like we were born
Like lightning from a storm
Carved our names into each other's backs
I'd carry you for years
Cut our teeth down on the railroad tracks
Kept em all as souvenirs
Now our paths don't cross much anymore
Yeah we run in parallel
If I knock, knock, knocked down your front door
You can follow me to hell
We would run
We would run
We would run
Like lightning from a storm
Like lightning from a storm
We'll die like we were born
Like lightning from a storm
And it's OK for you to walk away
You'll always know where to find me
In the back of your mind screaming "as wicked as it may seem"
And it's OK if we don't find a way
To live forever like you promised me
Just sit down, we'll disappear(?)
Like lightning from a storm
Like lightning from a storm
We'll die like we were born
Like lightning from a storm
(Hey)
Like lightning from a storm
Like lightning from a storm
We'll die like we were born
Like lightning from a storm
