THE CARS:DRIVE

The Cars:Drive
By Cynaid Cree

I was sitting having lunch watching bits and pieces of the sitcom ''Everybody Hates Chris''
Then this song came on that I absolutely loved.I used to hear it always on the radio but I never knew who was the artist.A day passed by and thinking I could remember the lyrics and finally search for it which I could not.I started searching for the episodes of ''Everybody hates Chris'' just to find it.I ended up watching the wrong episode and never found it all.I told my sister that It was driving me crazy not knowing who the artist or title of that song was.

She started searching the internet .She watched the same episode as me, that she also thought it was on.
Then we went for an episode before that.We watched the whole episode and at last at the very end we heard the song.We got very excited coming to the end of our mission..lol.Still we didn't know the title and started singing out t the lyrics to search for this title and try to see if we found anything.TA-DAH!!!

The artist was ''The Cars'' with the Title ''Drive''
Now when you hear this song,it will certainly take you to another dimension.The lyrics are very powerful and I tried searching everybody's take on the song because the video is very confusing.Its about someone going through a drinking addiction by the''happy hour'' sign in the video and experiencing withdrawal symptoms or it could be Schizophrenia.
                                                                            
                                                                        "Drive"

who's gonna tell you when
it's too late
who's gonna tell you things
aren't so great
you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna pick you up
when you fall
who's gonna hang it up
when you call
who's gonna pay attention
to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears
when you scream

you can't go on
thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna hold you down
when you shake
who's gonna come around
when you break
I think music is there to inspire you and you can interpret it however you wish.
The lyrics are very powerful and for me without seeing the video.My interpretation is about relationships and not taking it for granted.You cannot go through life alone.It does not have to be a romantic relationship but relationships with people in our lives are very important.There is always going to be one or a few people that are put into our life to make us stronger individuals.Sometimes we face very hard obstacles that we cannot process on our own and we do need the advice and help of other important people that helps us to come to the decisions in our lives.To me the lyrics simply mean ''You cant go on'' meaning you cant go along in life making bad decisions and thinking it wont come back to bite you.In this song to me somebody is reminding you the value of them being in your life.Who is going to be there worrying about you if they are not the ones worrying about you.In the moment you cannot see clearly what you really have or want.We all need that person to come home to,to tell you how was their day,to ask you how was your day . A person genuinely concerned for somebody Else's well being.We all need somebody to help pick us up when our world is falling down.Every person needs the strength of another person.These important people are in our lives to listen to our dreams and help our dreams come true.These special people are the people in your life when you are that nobody before you come to that ''somebody'' in life.These people are our reminder and balance in life.In the times when the pressures of life are too much,we need somebody to confide in and somebody's embrace to cry in.We also need that person when we go through a nervous breakdown in life.
This song is a powerful reminder of all the people that stand by your side.So appreciate those relationships,stay loyal and be the strength to somebody else and these attributes is what we are here on earth for.Being there for each other through our learning in this life.Life is a beautiful experience more so when we have beautiful people around us taking each step the good and the bad together.

I would love to hear your interpretation of the song or experience.Drop me a comment.
