Story behind the song
Driving home after the Third Eye Blind show at King's Island and watching all the cars in front change lanes and hit their brakes, it looked like a ballet.
Lyrics
Woke up just after midnight I can't sleep this night away Feels like I've spent a lifetime Hoping for a better day Went driving just to feel it Past all the neon lights Just so I could feel alive Find myself just thinking back on All those calm and sleepless nights Light up and smoke the moment Here's to another time So was I wrong to love it? Must be the circumstances And all the dreams I have to live Crash I'm looking to the future And staring straight ahead I've noticed there's nothing Until I'm dead (I'm dead) And there's the wreckage Still burning strong The twisted metal and the tires gone (They're gone) Oh, what a memory That I don't want to see Your face is going through And disappearing to The endless sea of white (Of white) And everything you want you get Though we haven't missed you yet Ballet of Brake Lights in my head They're going around and around again I'm in a euphoria Am I hallucinating this song? And I can remember your face right before The point, where everything mixed to The blur of emotion The crash's distortion The frenzy that was in my mind (That night) This is a song for all to sing About a youthful, blessed thing About a time when you were high About a stranger passing by Ballet of Brake Lights in my head They're going around and around again I'm in a euphoria Am I hallucinating this song? (Repeat 3x)
