This Car Drives All by Itself
Exploring Autonomy and Youth: "This Car Drives All by Itself
Lyrics
This car drives all by itself
The car is operating autonomously.
And this car drives all by itself
Reiteration of the car's autonomous nature.
And you can force it but it doesn't want to move an inch
Attempting to control the car, but it resists movement.
You can't buy its loyalty this time
True loyalty cannot be purchased.
You can tempt it with a pocket full of shiny things
Trying to entice the car with material possessions.
Still, there's no room left in paradise
No space left in paradise, suggesting a limited ideal state.
And the kids aren't wrong
Affirmation that the kids are not wrong.
And the kids aren't wrong
Reiteration of the correctness of the kids.
And the kids aren't wrong this time
Emphasizing that the kids are right this time.
Am I looking for a spark in the heart of the light? (The light)
Questioning if the search is for inspiration in the midst of brightness.
This car drives all by itself
Restating the self-driving nature of the car.
And this car drives all by itself
Reiteration of the car's autonomous ability.
You can drag the years behind you, you can let them go
Choosing whether to carry the past or let it go.
Still, she'll laugh at you behind your back
Being mocked behind one's back despite choices.
There's no water here there's just the wide open road
No sustenance here, only a limitless path.
And it leads you up the garden path
The path leading astray, potentially deceitful.
And the kids aren't wrong
Confirmation that the kids are correct.
And the kids aren't wrong
Reiteration of the accuracy of the kids.
And the kids aren't wrong this time
Emphasizing that the kids are right this time.
Am I looking for a spark in the heart of the light?
Repeating the question about seeking inspiration.
This car drives all by itself
Restating the autonomous nature of the car.
And this car drives all by itself
Reiteration of the self-driving capability.
And this car drives all by itself
Further emphasis on the car's autonomy.
And this car drives all by itself
Repeating the idea of the car driving itself.
I see a tunnel at the end of the light
Seeing an end to the brightness, possibly a difficult situation.
And it's killing me slowly with its tune
The difficulty intensifies, affecting the observer emotionally.
I'm always a mess come the end of the night
Personal turmoil at the end of the night.
Oh, but we keep, keep dancing though we're out of time
Continuing to dance despite being out of time.
Oh, hold on, baby, baby, yeah it's alright 'cause
Encouraging someone to hold on as everything will be alright.
This car drives all by itself
Reiterating the self-driving characteristic of the car.
And this car drives all by itself
Stressing the autonomy of the car once again.
And the kids aren't wrong
Affirming the correctness of the kids.
And the kids aren't wrong
Reiterating the accuracy of the kids' judgment.
And the kids aren't wrong this time
Emphasizing that the kids are right this time.
I see a tunnel at the end of the light (the light)
Revisiting the question about seeking inspiration in brightness.
This car drives all by itself
Restating the self-driving nature of the car.
And this car drives all by itself
Reiteration of the car's autonomous capability.
