Passenger
Lunachicks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
singing la la la la lalalala
la la la la lalalala la la

We get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backside
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
You know it looks so good tonight
singing la la la la lalalala
la la la la lalalala la la

Oh the passenger
Oh how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides

He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
And everything was made for you and me
So let's take a ride
And see what's mine
singing la la la la lalalala




la la la la lalalala
la la la la lalalala la la

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Passenger" by Lunachicks seem to describe the experience of an individual who is traveling through the city's "ripped backside" as a passenger. The individual describes themselves as riding through the city's backside and seeing the stars come out of the sky. The bright and hollow sky looks so good, and the individual stays under glass, looking through their window so bright throughout the ride. The song's lyrics suggest that everything was created for the passenger and the singer or narrator, and the two should take a ride and see what's theirs.


The passenger seems to be a metaphor for someone who is living life and experiencing everything around them without being fully engaged or present. They are passive observers, looking through their window and taking in the city's sights, sounds, and experiences. The lyrics suggest that the passenger is someone who is not fully in control of their life, but instead, they prefer to let life happen to them. The song's title, "Passenger," underscores this idea, suggesting that the individual is not driving the car but instead is along for the ride.


Overall, the song "Passenger" by Lunachicks seems to convey a sense of detached observation and passive participation in the events and experiences of life. The passenger and narrator watch the world go by and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city, but they are not actively engaging with the people, places, and things around them. The song's lyrics suggest that there is a profound beauty in this detachment but also a sense of longing for something more.
