In Your Car
Ty Segall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Made the hell, I've got to (?) comfort awhile
I bring it back soon tomorrow
Hey, I'll go to worry, we will back the hurry
We will be gone now tomorrow

We're just here tonight, (?)
We're just moving around in your car, in your car

Made the hell, I've got to (?) comfort awhile
I bring it back soon tomorrow
Hey, I'll go to worry, we will back the hurry
We will be gone now tomorrow

We're just here tonight, (?)
We're just moving around in your car, in your car

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ty Segall's song "In Your Car" reveal a sense of urgency in the singer's need to seek comfort for a while. The opening line, "Made the hell, I've got to (?) comfort awhile," hints at an internal struggle or feeling of being caught in a difficult situation that the singer hopes to escape by finding comfort. However, this comfort seems temporary, as the following lyrics suggest that he will need to return it soon tomorrow. The phrase "Hey, I'll go to worry, we will back the hurry, we will be gone now tomorrow" implies that the singer is aware that his search for comfort is only a temporary solution, and he must face his troubles soon.

However, in the meantime, the singer and someone else seem to be spending the night in a car, aimlessly driving around with no particular destination in mind. The repetition of the phrase "We're just here tonight, (?) We're just moving around in your car, in your car" emphasizes the sense of aimlessness and lack of purpose in their actions. Whatever troubles the singer was hoping to escape by finding comfort seem to still be present, and the repetition of the line "Made the hell, I've got to (?) comfort awhile" suggests that the singer is still struggling with the same problems.

Overall, the lyrics of "In Your Car" evoke a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction, as the singer seeks temporary relief but is ultimately unable to escape his problems.
