Owl City - Deer In The Headlights Lyrics






Met a girl in the parking lot,
And all I did was say hello.
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home,
But I guess that's the way it goes.

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

Met a girl with a graceful charm,
But when beauty met the beast he froze.
Got the sense I was not her type
By black eye and bloody nose,
But I guess that's the way it goes.

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

It's suffocating to say,
But the female mystique takes my breath away.
So give me a smile or give me a sneer,
'Cause I'm trying to guess here.

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
I'm sorry I ever tried, deer in the headlights.

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
If life was a game, you would never play nice.
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes.
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights.

You're the deer in the headlights.
You're the deer in the headlights.

    1:52 *How I admire Indians and Mr. Adam Randal's inclusion of one of them in this music video. In today's politically charged atmosphere, some might scoff at their reference as racist or stereotypical but, if you think about it, it's actually rather beautiful. First generation immigrants coming to the US for a piece of the American Dream starting up their own businesses or managing a franchise (FIRST GENERATION), choosing to be productive entrepreneurs instead of seeing themselves as oppressed victims.*


    That, my friends, it amazing. They come here, probably with next to nothing or what they thought was something but is devalued next to the Dollar but, they made something of themselves. Not only that, but running gas stations or convenience stores is a TOUGH job. Aside from cleaning bathrooms that people treat with disposable disregard; dealing with constant shoplifting; working ungodly, taxing shifts long through the night; and having to frequently find themselves at gunpoint or assaulted for the mere paper in their registers: the job comes with a plethora of countless issues that give me a headache just to think about but, for their families and their livelihood, they damn well suck up their pride and do it. Furthermore, even if they have the advantage of having helpful family and social circles to incorporate them into already Indian-run enterprises, they pass that charity onto the next generation and give their people a helping hand up after making the difficult voyage across the pond to an entirely new culture demanding change.


    Of all the immigrants I know, next to first generation Mexicans who work hard to make the most of what we'd consider menial occupations like household maintenance or landscaping and begin businesses of their own; they are the most industrious and persisting people I've met. How fortunate we are to have the likes of their humble and vibrant people coming here to join our tradition of freedom (and what should be an appreciation of responsibility) and contribute to our economy and composition. They come legally; endure all of the tests and trials that come therewith; assimilate well without losing grasp of their home culture and ethnic origins; work their asses off to provide for their families; and, to my knowledge, rarely if ever suck resources from the burdensome and excessively bureaucratic welfare system.


    If there are true, everyday American heros, they are the Indians. Thank you, Owl City, for including them in your video even if so many would denounce the inclusion as bigoted. Had I a glass, I'd raise it and its bubbling contents to you, and to all others that endeavor and have endeavored to earn their liberties and place in this wonderful nation!


    *Fe Sahetek! Gan Bay! Skoal! Cheers! A La Votre! Prost! Kan-pie! Na Zdorovie!* and *Salud! To the great people that bless our nation with proper integration and the buttressing of like, moral principle in participation!*
