Tie Me To The Tracks by Raynes

With its upbeat, driving nature, you might be surprised to hear that "Tie Me to the Tracks" from British-American trio Raynes is essentially a middle finger to a relationship that ended badly. In hindsight, it was unhealthy - maybe abusive - and could never have worked; realizing this, the narrator (perhaps tongue-in-cheek) is more willing to accept death than return to the relationship.

Lyrics:
I know everyone warned me
But I could've sworn we'd
Never play to lose
But now I'm sneakin’ around
Too scared to make a sound
Or any sudden moves

You're a little on the wild side
Lookin’ for a joyride
Lookin’ for a thrill
And I can tell you're gettin’ hungry
Stickin’ out your tongue
Greedy for another kill

Well, you can tie me to the tracks
If you wanna
You can stab me in the back
And I'll
Take a moment to relax
'Cause at least I'm
Not gonna see you again

I'll close my eyes
Imagine what the big surprise
Could be
And say
I’ll say goodbye
Wish I didn’t have to die
But I'm not gonna see you again

Sidle up with a big grin
Caught the scent of my skin
From across the room
But I can see your bloody teeth
Peerin’ out from underneath
I know it's coming soon

Well, you can tie me to the tracks
If you wanna
You can stab me in the back
And I'll
Take a moment to relax
'Cause at least I'm
Not gonna see you again

I'll close my eyes
Imagine what the big surprise
Could be
And say
I’ll say goodbye
Wish I didn’t have to die
But I'm not gonna see you again

You showed me what you are
But I couldn't believe you
Assumed you were a star
And never really wondered
Why your eyes were burning

You showed me what you are
But I couldn't believe you
Assumed you were a star
And never really wondered
Why your eyes were burning red

I know everyone warned me
But I could've sworn we'd
Never play to lose
I see the carrion crows
I hear the whistle blow
I know it’s comin’ soon

I'll close my eyes
Imagine what the big surprise
Could be
And say
Goodbye
Wish I didn’t have to die
But I'm not gonna see you again

I'm not gonna see you again

You can tie me to the tracks
If you wanna
You can stab me in the back
And I'll
Take a moment to relax
'Cause at least I'm
Not gonna see you again
