Driver
C.I.C The Asian Boy Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Delving
Into the depths of masculinity
Scorching
Whilst I complicate simplicity
Whilst the traffic lights red
I'll be fusing my toxicity
Inexcusably
Marking my salinity
Luna landing
I take a first step for man
Cause I'm a man so I ran
Always hurrying
And worrying
Ruined my first flower
Before we blossomed
So I missed my chance to put it in
It's a man's world is the saddest line of words
You see the strength your stature herds
You're the "man of the house"
You experience your dominance
View the doubt it homes
For many, it fills their confidence
But dont get high on it
Your name ain't Holmes
Cos I'm just a taxi driver just a humble little fine taxi driver
Take you to the place where you're Bonafide yeah
If I take you to that place you'll be burned alive yeah
Moonlight glimmers
Sunlight simmers
Down then we sippin Brown
Clocks ticking now
With different sounds
I'm wearing different crowns
To previously
I'm devious see
Cos I used to be something else
I was borin storin
Information in my brain
Now just storing the flame
The fuego
When u say yes I say no
But let fire rain tho
Light pain tho
But mine be heavy
Put the Shevvy to the levvy
Then neck a couple bevvy
The remedy for letting it loose
Now pass me da juice
I be spittin the fire but I be the crier for Zeus
Words from the mouth of the god of gods
Cos I'm just a taxi driver just a humble little fine taxi driver
Take you to the place where ur bonafide yeah
If I take you to that place you'll be burned alive Yeah
Just a driver
The type that cost a fiver
I'm cheap for you
I'll take much less to wife her
But wait no
Just an outro to a song
But what about the outroar in my soul
I'm toxic I know it's wrong
You were strong
But it took me too long
Too long
Now I'm too late
Black is my slate
But I'm out of chalk
Cos what does it mean to be a man
Is it bury your head in the sand
It means head first when ya land
Means delusions of the grand
He move when he ran but don't move when he sing
Like deep water fins at surface
Treacherous depths got real purpose
I lept for the depths to meet Circe
Then I wept with regret when the sea cursed me




With everflowing and ever knowing knowledge of what it means to be a man
I still don't really understand

Overall Meaning

In the song "Driver" by C.I.C The Asian Boy Band, the lyrics delve into the complexities of masculinity and the struggles that come with it. The opening lines "Delving into the depths of masculinity, scorching while I complicate simplicity" suggest a deep exploration of what it means to be a man in society.


The lyrics continue to touch upon themes of rush and urgency, with the mention of hurrying and worrying, reflecting the pressure placed upon men to constantly prove their strength and dominance. The line "Ruined my first flower before we blossomed, so I missed my chance to put it in" may allude to missed opportunities or damaging relationships due to male behaviors and expectations.


The chorus tackles the stereotype of the "man of the house" and the power dynamics that come with it. The lyrics imply that this perception can boost the confidence of some men but warns against becoming arrogant or overly reliant on it. The reference to Sherlock Holmes serves as a reminder that one's name or status does not define their worth.


The second verse showcases a transformation from a mundane existence to a more rebellious and fiery nature. The lyrics hint at a shift from conformity, with the mention of storing information in the brain to storing the flame of passion. The lines about spitting fire and being the crier for Zeus further emphasize this rebellious spirit.


The final verse delves into introspection and self-awareness. It acknowledges the toxicity within oneself and the recognition that it was a weakness to take too long to realize the strength and resilience of another person. The lyrics question the meaning of manhood and whether it involves avoiding difficult emotions or facing them head-on. The reference to deep water fins and treacherous depths suggests that true strength lies in confronting the challenges and gaining self-understanding.


Overall, "Driver" explores the complexities and pressures of masculinity, delving into themes of missed opportunities, societal expectations, rebellion, and self-discovery. It encourages reflection on the true meaning of manhood and challenges traditional stereotypes and norms.

Means delusions of the grand
Means having unrealistic notions of greatness


He move when he ran but don't move when he sing
He takes action physically but lacks action when expressing himself


Like deep water fins at surface
Like the contrast between hidden depths and surface appearances


Treacherous depths got real purpose
The dangerous depths hold true significance


I lept for the depths to meet Circe
I dove into the depths to encounter transformation and temptation


Then I wept with regret when the sea cursed me
Then I cried with remorse when the sea punished me


With everflowing and ever knowing knowledge of what it means to be a man
With an abundance of understanding about the true nature of masculinity


I still don't really understand
Yet, I still struggle to fully comprehend
