Lyrics
Killer cars
Focus on dangerous vehicles
Cars
Reiteration, emphasizing the subject
Killer cars
Reaffirmation of dangerous cars
Too hard on the brakes again
Braking too forcefully
What if these brakes just give in?
Concern about brake failure
What if they don't get out of the way?
Fear of not being able to avoid an obstacle
What if there's someone overtaking?
Concern about a potential collision
I'm going out for a little drive
Heading out for a drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
Implying potential danger of the drive
There could be an idiot on the road
Worry about reckless drivers
The only kick in life is pumping his steel
Life's thrill resides in dangerous behavior
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Imagining being hidden in a car trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
Possibly metaphorical or intoxicated state
They won't ever take me alive
Preference not to be caught by authorities
'Cause they all drive
Everyone drives, creating a risky environment
Don't die on the motorway
Warning against fatal accidents
The moon would freeze, the plants would die
Hyperbolic consequences of death
I couldn't cope if you crashed today
Fear of regretting unspoken words
All the things I forgot to say
Personal concerns about a loved one's safety
I'm going out for a little drive
Planning another drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
Reiterating the potential danger of driving
What if the car loses control?
Fear of losing control of the car
What if there's someone overtaking?
Repetition of concern about potential collisions
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Imagining being concealed in a car trunk (repeated imagery)
Packed with foam and blind drunk
Similar imagery, possibly intoxicated state
They won't ever take me alive
Preference not to be caught by authorities (repeated line)
'Cause they all drive
Emphasizing everyone's participation in driving
Killer cars
Reiteration of the danger posed by cars
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Continued imagery of being hidden in a car trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
Reiteration of possibly intoxicated state
No, they won't ever take me alive
Emphasizing the desire not to be caught (repeated line)
'Cause they all drive
Highlighting everyone's involvement in driving (repeated line)
Killer cars
Reiteration of the theme of dangerous cars
They all drive
Stressing everyone's participation in driving (repeated line)
Killer cars
Reiteration of the threat posed by cars
They all drive
Reaffirmation of everyone's involvement in driving
Killer cars
Reiterating the danger of cars
Oh, killer cars
Expressing a realization about the danger of cars
Oh, killer
Emphasizing the danger ("killer")
Killer
Repetition for emphasis
Killer cars
Reiteration of the focus on dangerous vehicles
Cars
Reiteration, emphasizing the subject
Killer cars
Reaffirmation of dangerous cars
Killer cars
Reiteration of the threat posed by cars
Ah, killer cars
Realization and emphasis on the danger
Killer cars
Reiteration of the focus on dangerous vehicles
Killer cars
Reiteration, emphasizing the subject
