Red Car
Julian Lamadrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up, alone again
to the morning sun
I thought I'd found a friend
but I still have none
And I remember the touch of skin
When you held my heart
It's been a hundred years of solitude
Take me home in your red car
show me round your place
I wanna know how it feels to be a beautiful girl these days
I don't believe in angels
I've never had a god
But when I look into your big brown eyes
I wonder if I'm wrong
Cause something bout you is holy
You're pure as snow
How does it feel to know you float above
All of the dirt below?
Take me home in your red car
Show me round your place
I wanna know how it feels to be a beautiful girl these days
And maybe life would be so hard
If I had you're face
I wanna know how it feels to be a beautiful girl
You say life isn't worth it
If you're riddled with hate
Oh but that's easy to say when you're perfect
In every single fucking way
Take me home in your red car
Hold me in your embrace
I wanna know how it feels to be a beautiful girl these days
I wanna know how it feels to be a beautiful girl these days
In Julian Lamadrid's song "Red Car," the lyrics depict feelings of loneliness, longing for connection, and a desire to experience the world through someone else's perspective. The singer wakes up alone, greeted by the morning sun, realizing that despite searching for companionship, they still feel isolated. They recall the touch of someone who once held their heart, but it feels like an eternity since they experienced that connection.
The lyrics then shift to the singer's fascination with another person, who they describe as a "beautiful girl." Although the singer claims not to believe in angels or God, they find themselves questioning their beliefs when looking into the big brown eyes of this individual. This person, in the eyes of the singer, possesses an intrinsic holiness and purity, reminiscent of untouched snow. The singer yearns to understand what it feels like to float above the "dirt" and the struggles of life that exist below.
The chorus repeats the desire to be taken home in the red car of this beautiful girl and shown her world. The singer seeks to understand how it feels to live in her shoes, to experience the world through her perspective, and to have a beauty that makes life seemingly easier.
The song's final verse showcases the singer's frustration with the person they admire. While this person claims that life isn't worth it if filled with hatred, the singer recognizes the irony of this statement, as it's easy to say when one is seemingly perfect. The desire to be held by this person, to feel their embrace, and understand what it feels like to be a beautiful girl in today's world is reiterated, highlighting their yearning for connection and understanding.
Overall, "Red Car" explores themes of loneliness, longing, the search for connection, and the desire to see the world through someone else's eyes, specifically someone who possesses qualities the singer admires and finds holy in their purity.
