The protagonist in the song drives alone at night without knowing where he is going. He feels drawn to the danger of the road, and believes that following laws will lead him over a cliff. He longs for the touch of his partner and seeks comfort in the company of his "dead end friends" who are like him in their aimlessness. The song describes the protagonist's journey of chasing something undefined, possibly running away from something, and finding solace in companions who share his sense of being lost.
