Discover the story of the song > Black Out – Pavement

The protagonist drives by a place where people used to celebrate him, but now it's closed. His thoughts make him feel uneasy, like snakes walking in his head. In the chorus, he talks about people making spiteful comments, the cold air and people chatting about bad things. He also mentions wanting to explore new things and see where it takes him. The song ends on a more upbeat note, with the protagonist finding fun in the summertime.
