Back In My Car
Revisiting Shadows: Emotional Drive in 'Back In My Car'
Lyrics
I'm coming back inside my car, nothing to change here
Returning to my car, no need for changes.
I'm loosing track of the time, the world ain't spining here
Losing track of time, feeling detached from the world.
I am the same but he might be coming back
I remain unchanged, but someone from the past might return.
A story, castle made of sand, that I will call mine
Metaphorically describing a fragile story or achievement as a castle made of sand.
I want to change it, even if the past taste like a sour wine
Expressing a desire for change, even if the past is unpleasant.
He wants the same, he's not so wrong
Someone else desires the same change and is not entirely wrong.
But what happened here
Pondering what transpired in the past.
You play your dumb role
Addressing someone who is playing a foolish or unwise role.
Nothing to hide, nothing to show
Nothing to hide, nothing to show, indicating openness or transparency.
I didn't shine before the fall
Reflecting on a lack of success or brilliance before a downfall.
A sad new poem, pass it to the right
Introducing a sad poem, passing it to the right, possibly suggesting sharing emotions.
Look, I'm just scared, you think I'm alright
Expressing fear and clarifying that despite appearances, everything might not be okay.
I'm tripping, driving in my car, demons start playing
Experiencing a surreal or overwhelming situation while driving, with inner struggles represented by demons.
No one wants to dance alone tonight, so that's what I did
Choosing not to dance alone, possibly implying a need for companionship.
I'm close to break, and he wants to take back
Feeling close to breaking down, while someone else wants to reconcile or reclaim something.
Nothing to hide, nothing to show
Reiteration of having nothing to hide or show.
I didn't shine before the fall
Reiterating a lack of brilliance or success before a downfall.
A sad new poem? pass it to the right
Repeating the introduction of a sad poem, possibly emphasizing the act of sharing emotions.
Look, I'm just scared, you think I'm alright
Reiterating fear and expressing doubt about appearing alright to others.
