Theme
A reflection on the tumultuous and often self-destructive career path of the narrator (likely Mustaine himself) in the music industry. The 'bodies left behind' represent former bandmates, friends, and relationships severed or lost along the way. Despite the conflict and setbacks ('kicked out and said I quit'), the primary motivation remains: the desire to perform, hinting at a life lived only for the stage.
Lyrics
This thing called life goes by so quickly
One day you're here and then you're gone
This is the moment I've lived my whole life for
And I'll never give up
I've waited too long
I've waited
Waited too long
I've waited too long!
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
I've been kicked out and said I quit
Then I said: I've had enough, and: This is it
All I wanted was just one more show for the road
Cause it was over last time before I could blink
I could blink
I've waited
Waited too long
I've waited too long!
And all along the road
All the bodies left behind
May all have been good friends
Just not good friends of mine
Their bodies left behind
