As an integral part of any song, lyrics act as a way for artists to divulge their thoughts with listeners, but with so many songs out there, how can you be sure to hear all of these messages.
To grasp these hidden meanings, we have asked Road Closed to showcase some of their favourite, original lyrics and are pleased to feature them as part of our Waxing Lyrical series.
Today’s Waxing Lyrical With Road Closed dives into the lyrics of their song ‘GOODTIMES’.
“True to the roots of Rock and Roll, but flavoured with a modern twist” – Azra Pathan
RoadClosed is an Alternative/Hard Rock Band hailing from the industrial heart of Birmingham (UK). Every gig they play becomes a rare, almost nostalgic experience with gripping chemistry, energetic presence and highly technical performances reminiscent of the legends of Classic Rock. With over 2 albums worth of music waiting to be released, each one with a defining sound that characterises the emotion that drives their music.
“Simply put, Road Closed is what you get when you combine 4 incredibly talented musicians, an excellent repertoire and a passionate, charismatic stage presence.” – Chris Beswick
Lyrics:
Drugs and love and lights and tunes
Nose drags along white crystal dune
Anxiety I find exciting now
Low hum dread beats in my chest
Has got me feeling WILD!
But you know that I can’t stop once I get going but you knowing that I
I just want to have a good time
it’s a feeling it’s an itch it’s a whisper within but right now it’s screaming
I just want to have a good time
Loose pills in pockets got me felling dizzy
Drink in my hand half spilt over me
But man I’m built for this shit
But you know that I can’t stop once I get going but you knowing that I
I just want to have a good time
it’s a feeling it’s an itch it’s a whisper within but right now it’s screaming
I just want to have a good time
(Heavy breathing)
YEAH
But you know that I can’t stop once I get going but you knowing that I
I just want to have a good time
it’s a feeling it’s an itch it’s a whisper within but right now it’s screaming
I just want to have a good time
Before I get old and my body can’t take it and I’m aching yeah I’m shaking from all the shit I’ve been taking yeah
Before I give up on frying my brain cells just want a smell just a whiff of the shit that made me feel so well!
