Driver [Bonus Track]

from Grim Futuristic Reality by Max Tyler

about

After I wrote 'Grim Futuristic Reality', I wasn't sure where to go musically.
I knew I wanted to tell more stories, so I experimented in telling a story through song again, but in a shorter amount of time.

I wanted to see if I could tell a whole short-story within one track, under ten minutes long.
This is one of my favourite productions I've ever done, probably because of how much fun I had whilst making it. Trying to emulate the sounds and themes of the 80's whilst combining those traits with more modern production sounds.

This track was HEAVILY influenced by the likes of 'Danger', 'Kavinsky', and 'Ultravox'.

lyrics

There's only road ahead of streaking blue,
There's only time that holds these parts like glue.
There's only death ahead in sight of glass,
There's only dreams of speed and changing class.
There's only warmth and love under the hood,
There's only power; pain misunderstood,
There's only fuel and oil and water.
All to excite your daughter.

She sits beside me taking in the view,
I tell I her I am here amongst the few,
She is safe whilst I'm behind the wheel,
But the devil chooses what I feel.
She can see right through my blatant lies;
See the pain and pestilence and flies.
I cannot stop her feeling the fear.
I can taste her pulse as she comes near.

Four hundred horses take out lives
As metal grinds and shadows dive.
I can feel my flesh begin to burn
As fuel ignites and bowels churn.
Was the sacrifice worth it in the end?
What did I gain as Satan's friend?
Now my lover's gone, her body twisted
But the power to me is still gifted!
