Light from the Car
Night Lovell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I never wanna talk about the (shot)? again.
(Done again)?
Never go on back.
Talk that shit I know you slack.
Take this paper from my???
Put that shit up on your lap.
From the back.
Bitch, you with that gag.
Thought you said (you back.)?
Thought you, Thought you take a (lap)?
All about the fucking money.
No I said I be there, Now it's fucking funny.
Dark dreams seem to fall.
Thinking about the lightnings from the car.
Know you want it.
Shape shift my switch, and we do it again.
Do it again.
Again.
And you made plans to make a song.
When I see that I don't wonder.
That's wrong.
(Wonder that's wrong.)?
Yeah.
Oh that's wrong.
That's wrong. x2???
Calm down fix that???
Bad bitch, named???
(Lens of the camera)?
Blunt to see the fucking see, I see the way you look at me.
Truth is told, through stories??? about kings and queens and enemies.
Is the key.
I told that bitch to leave.
I told her (manity)?
Told her, told her nigga please.
I know this way I make this shit you thought I'd never do.
Now tell me that my fucking shit is not (about)? you.
Dark dreams seem to fall.
Thinking about the lightnings from the car.
Know you want it.
Shape shift my switch, and we do it again.
Do it again.
Again.
And you cross that gate, that made you wrong.
Still I see you walking all alone.
Still I break that lock of (Ghandis)? car.
Watch me make this shit I always saw it.
Always saw it...
Yeah.
The lyrics to Night Lovell's "Light from the Car" are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about a relationship with a bad bitch, who Lovell wants to have sex with without any commitment. He doesn't want to talk about any problems they may have had in the past and just wants to have some physical fun. Lovell gets defensive about money, saying he always keeps his promises, but somehow it has become funny. This could suggest that money was involved in their relationship and that it has caused some problems.
The chorus seems to be about the idea of reaching for something the singer can never quite grasp. Lovell uses "dark dreams" to describe a longing for something that is out of reach. He thinks about lightning from a car, which could be a metaphor for something that is fleeting and can never be caught. The switch he talks about could refer to him changing his tactics to get what he wants. He ends the song saying, "Watch me make this shit, I always saw it." This could suggest that he always knew that he would end up alone, but he's okay with that.
