Taxi Driver
Shandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's his job for the night
An occupation for his life
Everlasting fight
Sick of living with insomnia
She's the enemy to fight
Clean the taxi it's time to drive
There's too much scum around
There's too much scum in this town lay it underground
There's too much scum around
There's too much scum around
Maybe Betsy is the way to get out
But he's not free
Travis taxi drivere
There is job for the night
An occupation for the time
Everlasting fight
Draw your conclusions it's time to react
Blow up their heads get a reward
But you're not free
The song "Taxi Driver" by Shandon portrays the life of Travis, a taxi driver who is exhausted with his life and is fighting against insomnia. He sees the world around him as scummy and dirty, which makes him hate his job even more. He dreams of escaping from his life, perhaps through romantic relationships or through violent actions. He is not free, even in his own mind, and is stuck in the ever-lasting fight of his life.
The lyrics of the song carry a tone of frustration and helplessness, as the singer feels trapped in his job as a taxi driver. He sees no way out of his miserable life and is overwhelmed by the filth around him. The use of repetition in the chorus, "there's too much scum around," highlights his disgust with the world around him. The line "blow up their heads get a reward" further emphasizes Travis's violent thoughts and urges, but also implies the possibility of redemption or escape by getting a reward.
