Abandin All Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
told some people that i'm here to stay but
fourteen hours on a lonely road can
get delusional
i got a brand new car
for half the price of a brand new starter
people said there's no way
she'll make it all the way
i'm here
in my '90 cavalier
it's been bagged for 15 years
but i still like it 'cause it's funny
and everybody i know
wants one of their own
i feel really bad
for driving something
everyone wants to have
a couple flaws
with the heart of a trans am
ya you're digging it
it's got a good luck charm
thanks a lot to my backup alarm
everyone's safe
but i've never done no harm anyway
The lyrics to Abandin All Hope's song "Cavalier" tell a story of a person who has recently made it home after a long and lonely road trip. They express their dedication to staying put and settling down after their journey. The singer boasts about a brand new car they purchased for half the price of a starter, but also mentions that others doubted its ability to make the journey. However, this person does not care about proving others wrong or showing off their new car. Instead, they reveal that they own a '90 cavalier, which has been lowered for 15 years, yet they cherish it because it's amusing and everyone they know wants one too. They feel somewhat guilty about driving something that everyone desires to have and admit to a few flaws in the car. Even with a few defects, the car has the heart of a trans am and is still a great ride.
