Lyrics
Who the hell is driving
Confusion about the identity of the driver.
Don't care, don't know
Indifference towards the driver's identity.
We're stuffed in the backseat
Crowded in the backseat, expressing chaos.
Shouting go go go
Urging the driver to accelerate.
Screaming down the highway
Intense speed on the highway.
In the darkest night
Traveling during the night.
Screeching tires
Screeching tires indicating high speed.
Dead headlights
Reference to malfunctioning headlights.
Missed the exit to the mountains
Missed an opportunity or direction towards the mountains.
Missed the exit to the plains
Missed an opportunity or direction towards the plains.
Missed the exit to the ocean
Missed an opportunity or direction towards the ocean.
We're going
Emphasizing ongoing movement.
And we're going
Reiteration of the continuous journey.
Straight on to hell
Heading towards a negative outcome or experience.
Backseat drivers
People influencing the situation from the backseat.
In and out of control
Describing a lack of control in the situation.
We'll never be arriving
Never reaching a destination.
And we'll never grow old
Highlighting a perpetual state of youth.
It's a neverending joyride
Endless and thrilling journey with no clear purpose.
Going up in smoke
Metaphorical reference to the journey going wrong.
And the wreck by the roadside
The wreckage by the roadside is seen as absurd.
Is a goddamn joke
The roadside accident is considered ironic or ridiculous.
Missed the exit to the mountains
Repetition of missing the mountain exit.
Missed the exit to the plains
Repetition of missing the plains exit.
Missed the exit to the ocean
Repetition of missing the ocean exit.
We're going
Continuation of the journey despite missed opportunities.
And we're going
Reiteration of the ongoing journey.
Straight on to hell
Heading towards a negative outcome or experience.
Who the hell is driving
Repetition of the initial confusion about the driver.
No-body knows
Emphasis on the unknown driver.
We're stuck in the backseat
Stuck in the backseat, opposing the journey.
Shouting no no no
Protesting and refusing the ongoing situation.
Screaming down the highway
Continuation of high-speed travel in the dark.
In the darkest night
Repetition of screeching tires in the darkness.
Screeching tires
Reference to malfunctioning headlights again.
Dead headlights
Reiteration of the negative state of the headlights.
