Motorway
Hummmr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she was smiling faking
I forgot I think I missed it
In all the hate that we were making
"Come again" she kissed
And promptly turned away
So I write love-you-not's
So I spend my time
With the queens and with the kings
I'll be patient waiting
Watch the diamond skies are wearing thin
Faster faster past her
Knowing that the truth will set you free
That I have made love to me more
Than my entire history
(chorus)
The girl's a crossing guard
The boy's a motorway
The boy's a crossing guard
The girl's a motorway
The boy's a motorway
Time and time again
Time and time and time again
Time and time and time and time again
Time and time and time and time and time and time and time again
She said
(chorus)
The lyrics to Hummmr's song Motorway depict a tumultuous relationship between two people. The singer seems to be in a state of confusion as to whether or not he should continue pursuing this relationship with someone who may not fully reciprocate his feelings. The line "Come again she kissed, and she was smiling faking" suggests that the person he is with may not be as invested in the relationship as he is. Despite this, he finds himself in the midst of a passionate moment with her, even though he is aware of the tension and animosity between them. He is consumed by the physical pleasure of their interaction, so much so that he forgets what he might have missed: the genuine connection and love he seeks.
The singer is conscious of the toxicity of this situation, and aware that it does not represent what he ultimately wants: a genuine and loving relationship. He acknowledges that the passion they share is not enough to sustain a lasting relationship, and expresses his desire for something meaningful through the line: "So I write love-you-not's, 'Cause this is not my yesterday". He recognizes that he cannot repeat past mistakes, and decides to take control of his own love life, turning to other people for comfort and distraction. He spends time with "the queens and with the kings", observing and waiting patiently for something real to come along.
In the chorus, the lyrics "The girl's a crossing guard, the boy's a motorway" represents their current positions in the relationship. The singer sees the girl as someone who is hesitant, and unwilling to commit fully, while he sees himself as someone who is moving forward at full speed but is never quite getting to where he wants to be. The verse "Faster, faster past her, knowing that the truth will set you free, that I have made love to me more than my entire history" suggests that he is moving past the girl and towards a better future, hoping that by learning from his past mistakes he will find genuine love.
