I love the trumpet in this song it sounds kinda sad and weary it helps giving this song depth and some feeling , maybe some dread or even a measure of despair .....
I believe the song is about mindlessly completing something or anything with white hot flashing determination and drive even if it’s as simple as tying your shoes just that ocd can’t stop won’t stop until it’s finished. Great song!
I remember when my cousin was a toddler he loved this song :) he used to always beg me to play this song. He called it the “race car song.” It was honestly kinda adorable but now he’s much older- He still loves this song lol.
My friend during high school finished his exam early, so decided to write the lyrics to this whole song on the back blank page. Subsequently the smug bastard got one mark deducted 😀
This is a very striking image. I have gone through this. To me, it's about a couple that was separated by circumstance, neither can forget each other, she is trying to forget, and he is working his ass off to get her back
I'm still trying to figure out what type of race the song is about. They talk about being crouched at the starting line, implying a footrace, then they sing about engines, like race cars, and then he's riding a horse? What is happening?
Broski Blast whether it's a car on foot or a horse they're all different methods to getting somewhere - symbolizes that anyone can be going through this same dilemma. The main message is in that he is racing going as fast as he can in competition for something but he is actually running from himself - "haunted by something he cannot define". In doing so he's running on empty. So you have to wonder what he is missing? Some say it's about sex or relationship and some say it's about losing life in the rat race. I thinks it's both. When it comes to the woman - "she's all alone in a time of need" could mean either she's not reaching the orgasm because he's in a rush & just fighting for it instead of taking his time OR it could mean because he's working so hard in the rat race of life whether it's money, success, or something that are really all just ways to distract him from what he really needs "something that haunts him" - and in doing so is forgetting about slowing down & possibly spending time with family or a love one - "someone for whom he still burns" - thinking of someone else while having sex may also be what's keeping him from an orgasm. Overall, there is something he hasn't faced or gotten over & rather than slowing down to deal w it he is avoiding it by pushing himself harder to prove something other of himself that he will never attain because he will not stop & slow down to figure out what is haunting him. Running from things will not help you overcome them is the message I got. He's going for speed yet he's going the distance. Where is he going? He's not going anywhere he is simply going for the drive of it overworking & distracting himself. "No trophies, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine" - no flash bulbs nothing is clicking or connecting because he won't slow down to think, no trophies he's not winning anything "someone already left w the cup", no flowers no wine as in no love no bonding w family or loved one perhaps. "Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse" "in his mind he's still driving still making the grade" very sad but points to something a lot of people go through. Strong message should be heard much more.
Broski Blast I think it symbolizes the many different types of racing, one being the life race. You can either enjoy the race (married, etc) or win it (The cup) or just end up running into the ground (at the end he's still going thinking about everything he's lost just in order to win the race)
This is this one of the songs I play when I street race for me is a perfect motivational song and I've won a few races back in the day playing the song
Maybe it's about crotch rockets, you crouch over the tank to get behind the windshield, and they call a bike a iron horse plus just blasting this on your headphones doing 180 is just epic
I could be wrong, but I think this song is a metaphor (shocker) for a girl who can't get a guy out of her mind lol. She cant stop thinking of him and he's just racing around in there, going the distance (Hence why shes hoping memories will fade, and her memory of him is when he still 'burned' for her)
For over a decade this was my go too song for "Songs about driving" - and now that I really listen to it, the guy is "on his horse" a lot - is my whole life a lie? I hope the horse is a metaphor for driving, cause if not I fucked up

I think this song is a metaphor for hanging out listening to this song.
😎
Exactly. 😀😅😂🤣💥
I believe it's about someone driving
It makes me feel like someone actually loves me 😆
@@dantheman259 I think my public speaking teacher use this as an example of a metaphor.

This is the song that must play in my cats head when he sprints around the house at 3am.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😅🤣🤣
That’s got to be a true cat fact lol
…most cats, if not all 😅🥲🤣😹
Thanks for posting this. For some reason I am currently obsessed with memorizing this song. Quintessential '90s for me.

This is so 90's, my hair grew back and I lost my beer belly!
Haha
Cake is deffinitely the most underrated band of the 90s

He still loves this song lol.
There's something extremely addictive about this song

Finished watching the Twisted Metal series finale on Peacock
Such an underrated band!
We heard you the first time buddy.
Old Memes i feel.
Underrated for you
Yes

Truly blessed in this Life . Conversations with people of Integrity truly makes the difference.
Absolute truth
This song is for my ex husband, I've loved it since I was a teenager, but now it makes me cry. How things change with time.
That was sad... what happened?
He’s an ex husband now. Use your imagination.
Yeah Krystle. Kinda bitter sweet isn’t it.
This is a very striking image. I have gone through this. To me, it's about a couple that was separated by circumstance, neither can forget each other, she is trying to forget, and he is working his ass off to get her back
I think that what he's striving for is power and success. Corporate position maybe. And he regrets leaving the one he loved behind to get it.
This totally sounds like the 2020 quarantine...
IT DOSE!
Bruh shut up all the comments say that ur not original or relatable
Weirdly I came here from a cooking program called ‘Come Dine With Me’ where they played over the end credits. Great song I’d not heard before!
You have to finish this alone.
Gave you my half. I'm dead.
The next time I go Go Kart racing I’m playing this shit in my headphones!
Hell yeah
Lol I was doing that a week or 2 ago as well
Dont be reluctant to start a journey that may be hard but the memories come as easy as u walk the distance
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG!
same
Everyone know the going the distance, going for speed line. But the other parts of this song is good, too

Human race maybe? All metaphors for how you live life. I dunno
