Story Behind the Song
An innocent driver is overtaken by lust as he sees a vision of beauty on the highway with him. The song was written late at night after driving home from a performance. The increasing harmonies throughout the song symbolize the building up of passion.
Lyrics
I see the glowing lights coming towards me,
coming faster in my rear view.
My thoughts adrift with expectation,
numb again I can’t hold on.
Driving on I feel my sense,
drifting fast out to the sea.
Never coming back again I fear,
will I keep it in me one more day?
Volcano sweeps me in
Volcano sweeps me in
and it brings me home.
My hopes and dreams are at their highest,
when times like these arise from dust.
Will I be satisfied or left waiting,
upon the light that shines on me?
Alone again she passes onward,
to spark a flame in some fool’s mind.
My thoughts adrift with expectation,
will I learn to look the other way?
Don’t pass me by, release my from my plight
Don’t pass me by, cause I need you, I need you to need me.
