about

'Bay Boys' is a biker gang allegory, the story of a wandering character who’s always seeking escape. The voice in the prechorus is like his conscience telling him he’s unfulfilled, but he’s idealized this life on the road and just keeps on running away. A particularly dark twist in a story I was reading left me in a heavy mood that inspired this song’s sort of ironic and a bit tragic 80s romance narrative.

lyrics

Eat me alive
So sick of sedentary life
It’s time to stir up the pot
Meet me out in the parking lot

Wind me up watch me go into the night time
Gas me up like a shot hitting the mainline
Searching for something like pacification
Roaming on the streets with no destination

Feel what you feel
Addicted to a story
That you know isn’t real
A switchblade allegory

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

The road is my love
Like the leather stud fit of a glove
And when I forget who I am
She’ll always take me right back again

Cuz when everything is said and done
Baby I was born to run
So the second I’m feelin a little vacation
Skipping this town with no hesitation

Fear like a phantom
Running from your shadow
But it seeps in like a venom
The dream you live is hollow

Cruisin with the bay boys
Riding to the edge of the earth
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Ride or die til the end

Cruisin with the bay boys
Light it up and watch it burn
No one’s gonna stop the bay boys
Try and you’re gonna learn
