The lyrics were very weird, I did really understand them. It didn�t affect me that much. What I understood from the lyrics is that, someone preferably an older man, is old and can�t really do anything. It says, �But I'm weakened underneath me where my frame is rusted thin.� This means he is old and by, ��the rusted frame thin�, probably that he is very fragile. In the lyrics it says �Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy, This year could be my last.� The first sentence is the man asking someone for a ride somewhere down the road because he really wants to go to that place, because it may the last time he gets to go somewhere, do to his age. Also there is a part were it says, �I'm a tailfin road locomotive from the days of cheap gasoline, And I'm for sale by the side of the road going nowhere, A rusty old American dream.� The first sentence means that he was pretty wild when he was a young man, and now he can�t do anything and cannot go anywhere, he is a rusty old American dream. Everyone even I can probably relate to this because there are things that many people could have done when they were younger, and now that they are older they might not be able to do the same thing. For example is when I was a little kid, I would get carried everywhere and wouldn�t have to walk, and now that I am bigger no one carries me because they expect me to walk by myself and be ready for the life ahead of me. A way that an older person can relate to these lyrics is when they were younger they could do anything, eat any kind of food that they wanted, go anywhere they wanted, and run or do any activity that required a lot of energy, but now that he or she is much older for those things they have to watch what kinds of foods they eat, try not to be outside too much because they tired much faster then they would have when they were younger. How these lyrics made me feel is to enjoy life as much as I can even more because once I hit a certain age I will have to be more careful of the things that I do, like stay healthier and other things almost like that. |
