lyrics

I have no idea of where I'm going,
but I feel I'm nowhere close to there yet.
I really need to keep my wheels a-rolling
to keep up with the pace I have set.

I'm gonna take this car
and drive it along.
On foot I'll never reach my thoughts a-roaming.
I've been grinding hard,
and to catch my teeth off guard,
I must get up to speed with what I let running.

I live by the foot of a big mountain.
It's mostly made of steel and glass.
Above it is an upside-down fountain
that submerges what I wish at my command.

I'm gonna take this car
and drive it along.
On foot I'll never reach my thoughts a-roaming.
I've been grinding hard,
and to catch my teeth off guard,
I must get up to speed with what I let running.

Claustrophobic panic pressure stowing.
intelligent inconvenience.
Uncomfortable is my mind growing.
I'm sick of making sense

I'm gonna take this car
and drive it along.
On foot I'll never reach my thoughts a-roaming.
I've been grinding hard,
and to catch my teeth off guard,
I must get up to speed with what I let running.

Paul Bäcklin Sweden

“Something to Die to” has a certain brightness to it. Not a pleasant bright, like a sunny day or the glitter on a lake touched by a breeze.  More like the light in “light-headed”. A dizzy, grainy light with a high pitched sinus tone to match it, ringing in your ears while all other sounds move back into the distance. The type of light you might expect to see when being on the verge of passing out. ... more
