This song is based on an old Depeche Mode song called โNever Let Me Down Againโ about just forgetting all your troubles and leaving on a road trip with close friends.
Be Quiet and Drive
Deftones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm fast to get away, far
I dressed you in her clothes
Now drive me far away, away, away
It feels good to know you're mine
Now drive me far away, away, away
Just far away I don't care where
Just far away I don't care where, just far away
And I don't care
Far away and I don't care where
Just far away and I don't care where
Just far away and I don't care where
Just far away I don't care
Far away and I don't care where
Just far away and I don't care where
Just far away I don't care
Just far away
Just far away, I don't care where
Just far away and I don't care where
Just far away and I don't care where
Just far away, away
Said, far away I don't care where, far away
I don't care just where, just far away
I don't care just where, far away
The lyrics of Deftones' "Be Quiet and Drive" tell the story of a person who feels disconnected and detached from their surroundings. The opening line "This town don't feel mine" suggests that the person does not feel at home in their current environment. The lyrics further explore this sense of detachment, with the singer wanting to escape and be driven far away from where they are currently.
The line "I dressed you in her clothes" is particularly interesting as it speaks to issues of identity and gender. The singer may be assuming a different identity by dressing in clothes associated with a woman which implies that the feeling of detachment may also relate to issues of gender and identity.
The repetition of the phrase "just far away, I don't care where" adds to the sense of detachment and wanting to escape. The lyrics are delivered with a sense of desperation which emphasizes how much the singer wants to distance themselves from everything around them.
Overall, "Be Quiet and Drive" is a powerful exploration of disconnection and detachment. The lyrics take the listener on a journey to a place of escape and catharsis, where one can be alone and free.

This town don't feel mine
I feel out of place and uncomfortable in this town
I'm fast to get away, far
I want to leave this town quickly and go far away
I dressed you in her clothes
I have taken something of hers and put it on you
Now drive me far away, away, away
Please drive me far away as soon as possible
It feels good to know you're mine
I feel happy and secure with you
Far away I don't care where
I just want to be far away from here, I don't care where
Just far away I don't care where
Anywhere is better than here, location doesn't matter
And I don't care
I am indifferent to anything that is not leaving this town
Said, far away I don't care where, far away
Just repeating that I want to be far away from here, anywhere will do
I don't care just where, just far away
I don't care where I go, as long as it's far from here
I don't care just where, far away
The specifics of the destination don't matter, just that it's far away
