In 'White Lines', The Offspring delve into the world of substance use through the powerful allegory of road markings. The song explores the seductive nature of drugs, likening them to the white lines that guide us but can also lead us astray. With a catchy melody and thought-provoking lyrics, this track serves as both a warning and a commentary on the choices we make.
Verse 1:
White lines stretch out like a silver thread,
Calling out the dreams that dance inside your head.
In the night, they shimmer, promise paradise,
But they hide the dangers, roll the dice.
Chorus:
Oh, those white lines, they take you high,
But they’ll lead you down where shadows lie.
Can’t see the road when you’re chasing the light,
Dancing with danger, losing the fight.
Verse 2:
Every turn is tempting, every mile a thrill,
But the closer you get, the less you feel.
They pull you in, like a moth to a flame,
Chasing the ghost that won’t call your name.
Chorus:
Oh, those white lines, they take you high,
But they’ll lead you down where shadows lie.
Can’t see the road when you’re chasing the light,
Dancing with danger, losing the fight.
Bridge:
We’re speeding in circles, the end’s never near,
Chasing those echoes, drowning in fear.
With every hit, another piece breaks,
The road keeps rolling, but it’s harder to wake.
Chorus:
Oh, those white lines, they take you high,
But they’ll lead you down where shadows lie.
Can’t see the road when you’re chasing the light,
Dancing with danger, losing the fight.
Outro:
So heed the warning, don’t lose your way,
Those white lines promise, but they’ll betray.
Find the strength to steer, break free from the night,
And leave behind those white lines of fright.
