Night Train - GN'R

Live is about getting high and low.
And to me, music is the entire part of it.
One of my favorite song is Night Train - GN'R
Here's the lyrics and some impressions I got from each verse.
The lyrics is in blue.

                 Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
                 Feelin' like a space brain, one more time tonight
This one just feels like an adrenaline rush.

                 Well I'm a west coast struttin', one bad mother
                 Got a rattlesnake suitcase, under my arm
                 Said I'm a mean machine, been drinkin' gasoline
                 An honey you can make my motor hum
Street life with wild and nasty stuff.

                 I got one chance left, in a nine live cat
                 I got a dog eat dog sly smile
                 I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
                 I smoke my cigarette with style
                An I can tell you honey
                You can make my money tonight
                Wake up late honey put on your clothes
                Take your credit card to the liquor store
                That's one for you and two for me by tonight

Awake all night long and free.
Bad boy with his best slut.

                I'll be loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
                Feelin' like a space brain, one more time tonight

               I'm on the nightrain, bottoms up
               I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup
               I'm on the nightrain, 
              Ready to crash and burn, I never learn
               I'm on the nightrain, I love that stuff
               I'm on the nightrain, I can never get enough
               I'm on the nightrain, never to return - no

              Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
              Speedin' like a space brain, one more time tonight

And so on...
The rest of the verse is all about adrenaline rush.

              I'm on the nightrain, an I'm lookin' for some
              I'm on the nightrain, so's I can leave this slum
              I'm on the nightrain, and I'm ready to crash an' burn
              Nightrain, bottoms up
              I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup
              I'm on the nightrain, whoa yeah
              I'm on the nightrain, love that stuff
              I'm on the nightrain, an I can never get enough
             Ridin' the nightrain
              I guess, I...I guess, I guess, I guess, I never learn
             On the nightrain, float me home
             Ooh I'm on the nightrain
             Ridin' the nightrain, never to return
             Nightrain

So every time I got low, sad, sad, sad and sad....
I play this song and sing along so damn loud.
And then, it's like I got the spirit back.
Maybe this is how it feels to drink the night train.
I never drink it anyway, hahah..
If this song is about liquor and getting drunk, then so it be.
Maybe it's just a metaphor.
But I don't really drink. 
I don't care what this song is all about. 
It's just so damn good.
The lyrics, the rhythm and everything is great. 
And this song's makes me drive so fast.

Salute to GN'R 

Bosan

Bosan aku dengan,
Puisi basi
Melankolia cinta
Bikin mabuk saja...
