The Franklin Electric – Strongest Man Alive lyrics
Honest man, one more shot
Who's been free all the time
Watch him falling off the top
'Cause he believes his heart might stop
Ain't no worry that's worth his soul
Ain't no days gone by that he don't count the times
That he told himself let go
He thinks too much to himself
He ain't superstitious, but he is making a wish tonight
He knows what it means to see heaven inside of his mind
Oh the hell with it, he's drinking again
Like breathing, poison air mixed up his feelings
He's a little bit weary and a little bit worried
Used to feel like he's the strongest man alive

And I hear something
Such a lonely sound from far
Can you feel someone
Creeping up behind you and you're too scared
To see if you might know them
Every strong man gets scared sometimes

Show me something real, show me just how I can let go
Let me light the way for you
When the candle dies and fear takes over you
Tell me would you be there once more
Like you're the last man standing and the first to know
That you've been so confused
And then led to believe that you are in your mind
And that you never told the truth
Now it's haunting you
You're the strongest man
You're the strongest man alive

    It's about the sense of immortality that we feel when we're young, being recollected wistfully by someone who's come face to face with his human frailty. I suppose one could conjecture that it's simply about substance abuse, and the feeling of weakness accompanying it destroying the aforementioned feeling of invincibility... it could certainly be interpreted that way, but I get the general sense that the "the hell with it, he's drinking again" line is more a symptom of some deeper fracture that he's trying to forget.

    "Poison air mixed up his feelings" is more ambiguous still. Could be the obvious drug interpretation, but it could describe a harmful environment or situation.

    The deliberately nebulous lyrics are brilliantly written, and brilliantly ambiguous. This is hands down, my favorite and most personal song of all time. It feels like an articulation of much of my experiences in the past decade, and I'm sure many others get a similar sensation hearing it.

    Beautiful song.
