Driver
Henric de la Cour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I scare myself but I won't give in
Put another stitch in me
Everything can split in two
I break inside you
In the end you will break too
Let's drive through the driving rain
Let's go where the silence roars
I can't trust anyone anymore
Can you feel the evening breeze
Does my presence put you at ease
I've been through stranger times than these
All is well you keep telling yourself
But inside you horrors, well
I will share them in the end
Let's drive through the driving rain
I don't want to drive anymore
Let's go where the silence roars
I can't trust anyone anymore
I hope one of these days
The hatred in my heart will dry out
As long as the thought of my kid makes me smile
I'll be riding on
I can feel there is texture
But there is no taste
Do I care?
In a world of idiots
I am one driving one
The song "Driver" by Henric de la Cour is a haunting and introspective piece about the internal battle that the singer is fighting. The song opens with the line "I dream of horrible things, I scare myself, but I won't give in," giving the sense that the singer is plagued by dark thoughts and emotions that he is trying to suppress. The line "Put another stitch in me, everything can split in two" suggests that he is on the verge of falling apart and needs something to hold him together.
The chorus "Let's drive through the driving rain, I don't want to drive anymore, let's go where the silence roars, I can't trust anyone anymore" seems to be a metaphor for the singer's journey through life. He doesn't want to be in control anymore and is looking for a way out. The mention of the "silence roaring" suggests that the singer is seeking a place where he can find peace, but at the same time, he is unable to trust anyone, implying that he is also afraid of being vulnerable.
The last verse provides a glimmer of hope, with the mention of his child's smile, which makes him want to keep going. However, he is still filled with hatred and is unsure of whether or not he cares about the world around him. The final line "In a world of idiots, I am one driving one" seems to suggest that the singer feels disconnected from everyone else and is struggling to find his place in the world.
