Lyrics

Sunday drive like we always used to do

A nostalgic reference to a traditional leisure activity, reminiscing about a past habit of taking a drive on Sundays.

Parked the car in the panoramic view

Stopping the car to enjoy a wide, expansive, and picturesque view.

I stayed inside while you photographed the lake Pretending to drive I pulled the parking brake

The singer stayed in the car while their companion took photos of the lake, pretending to drive by engaging the parking brake.

Felt like time was standing still

A sense of time slowing down or halting, creating a moment of pause or reflection.

The sun was pouring on the hill

The sunlight illuminating the hill, suggesting a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

And I'm weightless in the air

A feeling of weightlessness, possibly indicating a sense of detachment or freedom.

Floating far away from here

Experiencing a state of being detached and distant from the present situation or reality.

The tires turn and slowly crush the ground

The car's tires moving and gradually pressing against the ground.

I still hear the terrifying sound

Hearing a distressing or alarming noise amidst the movement of the car.

I search for help and meet my mother's eyes

Seeking assistance and encountering a moment where the singer meets their mother's gaze.

And she stares back completely paralysed

The mother's gaze is frozen or motionless, conveying a sense of shock or being paralyzed by the situation.

Felt like time was standing still

Reiteration of time appearing to stop or slow down, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.

The sun was pouring on the hill

Similar to line 5, describing the sunlight on the hill and the sensation of time slowing down.

And I'm weightless in the air

Continued feeling of weightlessness and detachment from the immediate surroundings.

Floating far away from here

A sense of drifting away from the present moment or reality.

Suddenly the wreck is lying flat

A sudden transition where a car crash occurs, and the vehicle is overturned.

Pull myself through the shattered window glass An avalanche is running through my head

The singer struggles through the broken window, experiencing mental chaos or confusion.

Body bruised, and my clothes are painted red

The body is injured and clothes stained with blood, signifying a severe impact or injury from the accident.

Felt like time was standing still

Reiteration of time standing still, emphasizing the shock and trauma of the accident.

The sun was pouring on the hill

Similar to lines 5 and 13, describing the sunlight on the hill and the sensation of time slowing down.

And I'm weightless in the air

Reiterating the feeling of weightlessness and detachment from the immediate situation.

Floating far away from here

A sense of drifting away or escaping from the traumatic reality of the accident.
