Cars
LUXT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars
Here in my car
I can hardly receive
It keeps me stable for days
In cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door
In cars
Here in my car
You know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars
The lyrics of LUXT's song "Cars" explore the different feelings and perceptions associated with being inside a car. The singer expresses a sense of safety and security while inside their car, and highlights the ability to lock all the doors as a means of achieving this feeling. This suggests that the singer may feel vulnerable or exposed outside of their car, and that their car represents a kind of refuge or sanctuary. The repeated chorus, "In cars," reinforces the idea that the car is the central subject of the song and becomes a symbol of safety, isolation, and protection.
However, the singer also acknowledges the limitations of being inside their car. In the second verse, they describe it as a place where they can "hardly receive" anything, suggesting that communication with the outside world is hindered while inside their car. This could be seen as either positive or negative, depending on the perspective of the listener. On the one hand, the lack of distractions or interruptions, allows the singer to focus on their thoughts and clear their mind, but on the other hand, it can also create a sense of disconnection or detachment from the world outside.
In the final verse, the singer appears conflicted, expressing a desire to leave their car but also a sense that "nothing seems right" outside of it. This creates an ambiguous feeling, with the listener left unsure of whether the car is a source of refuge or a hindrance to the singer's personal growth or sense of connection with others.

I like it. There's a ton of covers of this song on here, but most of 'em are too faithful to the original. I like that you played around with it a little bit. Good instincts.
