Passenger
DJ Gollum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I am the passenger)
I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the city backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I'm singing... la la la la lalalala...
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
And he rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the stars and hollow sky
He see the stars come out tonight
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine




I'm singing... la la la la lalalala...
(I am the passenger)

He realizes that everything he sees around him was made for him and for those special moments of discovery and contemplation. As he sings, "All of it was made for you and me, 'cause it just belongs to you and me," he celebrates the unity of the human experience, the journey we all take, as we ride through life together.

Line by Line Meaning

I am the passenger
I am the person being transported


And I ride and I ride
I continue to be transported


I ride through the city backsides
I travel through less scenic parts of the city


I see the stars come out of the sky
I observe celestial bodies appearing in the night sky


Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
The stars are radiant in an empty expanse of sky


You know it looks so good tonight
The scenery is particularly attractive this evening


I'm singing... la la la la lalalala...
I am vocalizing a nonsensical melody


Oh the passenger
Again, I am the person being transported


How how he rides
Describing how I am being transported


He looks through his window
I observe the environment through the window of the vehicle


What does he see?
Wondering what I am observing


He sees the stars and hollow sky
I see the aforementioned celestial bodies and sky


And everything was made for you and me
The world was created for us to enjoy


All of it was made for you and me
Every aspect of our surroundings is meant to be experienced by us


'Cause it just belongs to you and me
Ownership of the surroundings is attributed to us


So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Let's explore the environment together and uncover my possessions


I'm singing... la la la la lalalala...
Once again, I am vocalizing a nonsensical melody


(I am the passenger)
Closing repetition of my role in the transportation process

@RikiWilkins

This was one of the first songs I got addicted to in my teens.

@MsAliCat69

I've just watched this because I love the original song and was doubtful they could do it justice but they have! And apart from some numpty stretching the video it's brilliant! This will appeal to people like me who remember classy songs and videos not just the awful shite they churn out now. Its no wonder kids don't recognise quality when they see it when they're drip fed cheap flashy in your face crap on almost every music channel. Thank God someone still has style!!!

@Pick1605
