Starting out with the first two lines “You got the gas, I got the matches. We gonna turn this town to ashes” symbolizes the burning down of a town to teenagers throwing crazy parties, normally destroying their own self or the property that the party was on. In line 7, “Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine” is a metaphor comparing a truck engine to the drive or passion of the two lovers together. The faster the motor of a truck runs, the faster and more uncontrollable the truck will go.

When O’Conner says about Shiftlet on page 865, “He had always wanted an automobile but he had never been able to afford one before. He drove very fast because he wanted to make Mobile by nightfall,” she is pointing out the fact that Shiftlet is using the Craters in order to get the car, which is a symbol for missing good, holy opportunities.
