Love
The Car Is On Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was a beautifull plan
I got myself a gun
I hate the early dawns
Love
I love to ride my bike
You don't know what it's like
I love you
Were it for the fact we
Weren't too close to each other
I love you
Love
Who do we talk about us?
A red brick on the grass
Some things shouln't pass
Love
A fish across the moon
Reminding me of you
Breaking a hole in through
I love you
Some will say that all you
Get from living is believing
That's not true
(I love you)
If I had to choose
To live forever doing nothing
Or to choose to have you near me
For two seconds and then die
I guess the choice would not be difficult
For a second we would kiss and then
Together we'll do nothing
For the rest of time we got
The Car Is On Fire's song "Love" is a quirky and eccentric song that seems to be composed of seemingly unrelated fragments of thought. However, upon closer inspection, the lyrics reveal a deeper meaning that explores themes of love, loss, and human connection. The opening lyrics, "It was a beautiful plan, I got myself a gun, I hate the early dawns," introduce a sense of foreboding as the song delves into the complexity of the singer's emotions.
The song's title, "Love," is repeated several times throughout the song and can be interpreted in different ways. The lyrics seem to suggest that love is a complicated and often painful emotion. The singer expresses their love for riding their bike and their friends Paul and Mike, but also acknowledges that their love for someone else is hindered by their proximity to them. This paradoxical and bittersweet feeling is further reinforced by the line, "If I had to choose to live forever doing nothing or to choose to have you near me for two seconds and then die, I guess the choice would not be difficult."

It was a beautiful plan
The plan was intricate and well thought out
I got myself a gun
I obtained a weapon for reasons yet unknown
I hate the early dawns
Morning time is not preferred due to personal reasons
I love to ride my bike
The act of biking brings immense pleasure and joy
You don't know what it's like
The feeling of joy obtained from biking cannot be understood by others
My pals are Paul and Mike
The company of Paul and Mike while biking brings more happiness
I love you
A declaration of affection towards the person being addressed
Were it for the fact we
If not for the current state of our relationship
Weren't too close to each other
If we weren't in such close proximity
A red brick on the grass
A seemingly unimportant object present in a particular location
Some things shouln't pass
Certain things should not be overlooked or ignored
A fish across the moon
A random, surreal image is associated with the person being addressed
Reminding me of you
The surreal image is connected to the person being addressed in a special way
Breaking a hole in through
The image creates a lasting impact, breaking through mental barriers
Some will say that all you
There are people who believe that life only involves believing
Get from living is believing
The only thing one can hope to gain from life is something to believe in, according to some
That's not true
However, this belief is incorrect and misleading
If I had to choose
Given a hypothetical choice
To live forever doing nothing
Between living endlessly without any purpose
Or to choose to have you near me
And being able to spend just a few moments with the person being addressed
For two seconds and then die
Only to die immediately after those few moments are over
I guess the choice would not be difficult
The decision would be quite clear
For a second we would kiss and then
During that brief moment, a kiss would be shared between the two people
Together we'll do nothing
After that moment, nothing else would matter anymore
For the rest of time we got
The time after the kiss would not matter, as that brief moment would stay eternally important
