Endless Roads of Love: The Journey in The Gods Themselves' 'Driving'
Lyrics
Yeah we go driving
Expressing the commencement of a journey, possibly both physical and metaphorical.
Driving in your car tonight
Driving together in a car during the night, setting the scene for the narrative.
Headed to the county line
Heading towards a boundary or limit, suggesting a transition or escape.
Out to where the neon's bright
Moving towards a place where bright lights, symbolized by neon, are prevalent.
Yeah we go riding Out to where we canʼt be seen holding hands and breaking clean Riding out to a dream
Escaping public scrutiny, engaging in a clandestine relationship, and pursuing shared dreams.
What will we do now
Pondering about the next steps or decisions in the journey.
What will we do
Raising the question of what actions to take in the current situation.
What will we do when we run out of road?
Anticipating challenges or uncertainties when the current path ends.
Will you say something
Asking for communication or expression when faced with uncertainty.
Say something to make me feel
Requesting words that evoke genuine emotions and make the connection feel authentic.
Feel like what we have is real
Desiring a sense of reality and depth in the relationship.
Sing while your behind the wheel
Suggesting singing as a way to express emotions and connect while driving.
Here comes our song
Indicating the arrival of a song that resonates with the journey, creating a shared experience.
I can feel the beat so strong
Feeling the rhythm strongly, emphasizing the impact of the music on the experience.
Turn it up and sing along Road is going on and on
Encouraging turning up the music and singing, highlighting the continuity of the journey.
What will we do now
Repeating the contemplation of future actions as the journey progresses.
What will we do
Persisting uncertainty about the choices to be made in the ongoing journey.
What will we do when we run out of road?
Reiterating the anticipation of challenges when the current path reaches its end.
Youʼre so tough

Drinking from a broken cup

Fucking up and sleeping rough

Donʼt know when enoughʼs enough

Yeah we go driving

Driving in your car tonight
