Sorry About Your Car
Savannah Saturn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the lot was empty
Late at night
No one could see me
Reach for my bag
And pull out a key
Mmm-mm-mmh
So baby, I'll meet you in hell
I could never tell
If this was just a dream
Now I'll just sit for myself
Wondering when
The cops will come for me
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I shouldn't let it get this far
And now I just feel
Sorry for your car
Should I have cut the brakes
Or is that too far?
Mmm-mm-mmh
So baby, I'll meet you in hell
I could never tell
If this was just a dream
Now I'll just sit for myself
Wondering when
The cops will come for me
So baby, I'll meet you in hell
I could never tell
If this was just a dream
Now I'll just sit for myself
Wondering when
The cops will come for me
In Savannah Saturn's song "Sorry About Your Car," the lyrics appear to tell a story of a person who has committed a crime but is not quite sure what will happen next. The singer seems to have vandalized or stolen a car, as evidenced by the first verse describing seeing the car alone at night and pulling out a key. The chorus of the song repeats "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" and expresses regret for the singer's actions, specifically feeling sorry for the car. However, the second verse suggests that the singer may have gone even further by considering cutting the brakes of the car, which would be a much more serious crime that could lead to injury or death. The chorus repeats again, but this time with the added question of whether the singer went too far with their actions.
Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes their uncertainty about the situation, unable to tell if what's happening is real or just a dream. The line "I could never tell" is repeated several times, suggesting that the singer may be in a state of denial or dissociation. The final line of the song, "Wondering when the cops will come for me," reveals the singer's fear and guilt, knowing that they may face consequences for their actions.
Overall, "Sorry About Your Car" is a complex and introspective song that explores themes of guilt, regret, and uncertainty. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has made a mistake but is struggling to come to terms with the consequences.

I saw your car
I caught sight of your vehicle
And the lot was empty
The parking area was void of other cars
Late at night
It was a time of night when most people were sleeping
No one could see me
I was certain no one was able to spot me
Reach for my bag
I extended my hand towards my carrying container
And pull out a key
I extracted a key from inside it
Mmm-mm-mmh
I hummed a vague sound
So baby, I'll meet you in hell
I will see you in the afterlife, my dear
I could never tell
I could not fathom what will occur next
If this was just a dream
Maybe this is a fantasy that will vanish
Now I'll just sit for myself
I'll remain in solitude
Wondering when
Speculating about the timing
The cops will come for me
When the police will apprehend me
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I beg for forgiveness, I regret my actions
I shouldn't let it get this far
I should not have let this situation escalate
And now I just feel
Currently, I sense
Sorry for your car
Apologetic for inflicting damage to your vehicle
Should I have cut the brakes
Is tampering with the braking system a step too far?
Or is that too far?
Did I cross the line?
So baby, I'll meet you in hell
I will rendezvous with you in the afterlife
I could never tell
I cannot envision what's ahead
Now I'll just sit for myself
I will be alone with my thoughts
Wondering when
Contemplating about what time
The cops will come for me
The authorities will apprehend me
