About This Track
'Changing Lanes' by Basement is an alternative track from the album 'Beside Myself', released in 2018. The lyrics place the speaker in a state of urgency and strain, describing metal as it comes to rest while they struggle to find the right words. Over imagery of rapidly changing lanes, the voice closes their eyes and drives, framing the moment as something like a prayer. The emotional register feels pressured and forward-moving, summed up by the line “changing lanes at an alarming rate”.

Lyrics
As metal finds its way into its final resting place I struggle to find the right words to say And as we're changing lanes at an alarming rate I close my eyes and drive, as I pray Drive, as I pray
