Lyrics Metaphor✱ They set you on the treadmill ✱ when the rain set in / Your candle burned out
Explanation✱ Represents the repetitive and grueling nature of fame or a career as a mechanical device that never stops. ✱ Compares the end of a life to a small flame being extinguished by an inevitable rainstorm, emphasizing vulnerability.
