Drive
Navigating the Emotional Journey: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Shannon Curtis' 'Drive'
Lyrics
Who's gonna tell you when
Asking who will inform you when
It's too late
Referring to a point in time that may be too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Raising the question of who will share uncomfortable truths
Aren't so great
Questioning who will reveal when things are not going well
You can't go on
Expressing the inability to continue without acknowledging problems
Thinking nothing's wrong
Highlighting the error in thinking that nothing is amiss
But now
Transitioning to the present moment
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Posing the central question of who will drive you home tonight
Who's gonna pick you up
Asking who will come to your aid when you face a setback
When you fall
Questioning who will offer support when you stumble or fail
Who's gonna hang it up
Asking who will end a conversation or relationship
When you call
Asking who will disengage when you reach out
Who's gonna pay attention
Raising the question of who will pay attention to your aspirations
To your dreams
Asking who will listen to your dreams
And who's gonna plug their ears
Questioning who will ignore your distress or cries for help
When you scream
Asking who will turn away when you express pain or anguish
You can't go on
Reiterating the theme of not being able to ignore existing problems
Thinking nothing's wrong
Emphasizing the mistake of thinking everything is fine
But now
Returning to the present moment
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Repeating the central question of who will drive you home tonight
Who's gonna hold you down
Asking who will provide support when you are emotionally shaken
When you shake
Questioning who will be there to comfort and hold you down
Who's gonna come around
Asking who will come to your aid when you experience a breakdown
When you break
Questioning who will be around to help when you are in distress
You can't go on
Reiterating the theme of not ignoring problems
Thinking nothing's wrong
Emphasizing the mistake of thinking everything is fine
But now
Returning to the present moment
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Repeating the central question of who will drive you home tonight
You know you can't go on
Stating the obvious that one cannot ignore problems
Thinking nothing's wrong
Emphasizing the mistake of thinking everything is fine
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Final repetition of the central question of who will drive you home tonight
