Donkeyboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you feel the wind stop breathing?
The empty streets
In my window no one stays
Cuz I can’t give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can’t hire me today
Keep up the work
In my window no one’s hurt
The clouds look strange
In my window no one stays
Cuz I can’t give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can’t hire me today
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can’t give myself the days
The days we had, people, they change
I guess I’ll still remain the same
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can’t give myself away
So turn me on and drive me to waist
You can’t hire me today
I feel like burning again
Cuz I can’t give myself the days
The days we had, people, they change
I guess I’ll still remain the same
I feel like burning again
The lyrics of Donkeyboy's song "Drive" seem to express feelings of loneliness and disconnection from the world. The singer initially describes the world as still and empty, suggesting a lack of life or vitality. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this sense of emptiness is internal, as the singer seems unable to give themself fully to the world around them.
The line "Cuz I can't give myself away" is repeated throughout the song, suggesting a fear of vulnerability or a lack of trust in others. The metaphor of being turned on and driven to waste seems to represent a desire for escape, a yearning for something more exciting or meaningful than the mundane routine of everyday life.
Line by Line Meaning
Look at the world
Observing the surroundings
Can you feel the wind stop breathing?
Questioning the stillness of the air
The empty streets
Streets with no people or activity
In my window no one stays
People don't stick around in his life
Cuz I can’t give myself away
Unable to open up completely to others
So turn me on and drive me to waist
Asking someone to stimulate and excite him
You can’t hire me today
Being unavailable
I feel like burning again
Burning with desire
Keep up the work
Continuing with one's daily routine
In my window no one’s hurt
Despite his personal struggles, others remain unaffected
The clouds look strange
Feeling a sense of unease or discomfort with the atmosphere
Cuz I can’t give myself away
Unable to fully give himself to others
So turn me on and drive me to waist
Requesting stimulation and excitement from someone else
You can’t hire me today
Not available for others to rely on
I feel like burning again
Desiring excitement and passion
Cuz I can’t give myself the days
Unable to relive past happy moments
The days we had, people, they change
The people and the moments from the past change over time
I guess I’ll still remain the same
Despite changes around him, he hasn't changed
I feel like burning again
Desiring excitement and passion
Cuz I can’t give myself away
Unable to fully give himself to others
So turn me on and drive me to waist
Asking someone to stimulate and excite him
You can’t hire me today
Not available for others to rely on
I feel like burning again
Desiring excitement and passion
Cuz I can’t give myself the days
Unable to relive past happy moments
The days we had, people, they change
The people and the moments from the past change over time
I guess I’ll still remain the same
Despite changes around him, he hasn't changed
I feel like burning again
Desiring excitement and passion
