Halford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's where you belong
I've got you under my wheels now baby
I'll drive you all night long
I've got you under my wheels now baby
There's nothing you can do
I've got you under my wheels now baby
You'll never go too far or go too fast
Let's rev it up and feel the engine blast
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
I've got you under my wheels now baby
You're moving way too fast
I've got you under my wheels now baby
We've got to make it last
You'll love it when you feel my engine roar
You'll love it when you feel the power soar
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free
Let's crank it up and drive this heavy load
It's time to rock - Come on let's hit the road
Drive, drive, drive with me
Our love will set us free
Drive, drive, drive with me
The road will set us free
(Keep driving all night long)
The lyrics of Halford's song "Drive" seem to embrace the thrill of the open road and the exhilaration of driving fast. The opening verse could be interpreted as the singer asserting their control over their lover, placing them under their "wheels" and driving them all night long. The repetition of these lines throughout the song suggests a dominant and possessive attitude, with the lover being powerless to resist the driver's advances.
However, the chorus of the song suggests that the "drive" is not just about the physical act of driving, but also about being driven by love. The lyrics suggest that this love can set people free, hinting at the idea that the car represents more than just a vehicle, but also a symbol of liberation from everyday life. This theme of freedom resonates throughout the song and suggests that the drive is about breaking free and exploring the unknown.
The fast-paced beat and heavy guitar riffs in the song contribute to its loud and energetic nature. Overall, Halford's "Drive" celebrates the power of love and speed, urging listeners to join in on the excitement and take to the road with some good music blasting.
