Stolen Car
Journey Through Heartbreak: Stolen Car's Tale of Love's Unraveling
Lyrics
I met a little girl and I settled down
Met a girl and settled down, starting a life together.
In a little house on out on the edge of town
Established a home on the outskirts of town.
We got married, swore we'd never part
Married with a commitment to stay together.
Then little by little we drifted from eachother's hearts
Over time, the couple drifted apart emotionally.
At first I thought it was just restlessness
Initially attributed issues to restlessness.
That it'd fade as time went by, and our love would heal
Expected love to heal over time, but it didn't.
In the end it was something more, I guess
Realized there were deeper issues causing the separation.
Tore us apart and made us real
External forces tore them apart, making their struggles real.
I'm driving a stolen car
Character confesses to driving a stolen car.
Down on Eldridge Avenue
Driving on Eldridge Avenue, possibly metaphorical for a troubled path.
Each night I wait to get caught
Anticipation of getting caught, living on the edge.
But I never do
Despite the risk, never actually facing consequences.
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
Recalling letters written during the early, passionate stage of the relationship.
When our love was young and bold
Letters symbolize the intensity and sincerity of their past love.
She said last night she read those letters
Reading the letters now brings a sense of age and regret.
And they made her feel one hundred years old
Realizing the stark contrast between past and present emotions.
I'm driving a stolen car
Reiterating the confession of driving a stolen car.
On a pitch black
Driving in darkness, representing the uncertain and challenging journey.
And I'm telling myself
Self-assurance that everything will be okay despite the difficulties.
It's gonna be all right
A commitment to convince oneself that the situation will improve.
I drive by night
Driving at night, a metaphor for navigating difficulties in life.
And I travel in fear
Traveling with fear, a constant companion in the challenging journey.
That in this darkness
Fear of disappearing in the darkness, possibly losing oneself.
I will disappear
The persistent fear of losing identity or significance in the challenges faced.
