killer cars
By Bobville12@aol.com

this song can either just be straight-forward, simple and sarcastic(in a sence), in which case the meaning of the song is obvious. but if this song has a deeper meaning, then i believe the song is about the self-destruction of social society.

Killer Cars is a song about the uncertainty of life and being afraid of death. Killer cars are metaphoric for anything that can kill you. Life is a bunch of chances and everyday we put our lives on the line. It's also about the fear of not telling someone how you feel about them before you or they die when the song says-"all those things I forgot to say" This song really has deep meaning for me since recently I lost two relatives in a car accident.

I can't take this song at face value. It's not about bad drivers!! Well, at least, I don't think so, unless Thom et al has done a complete turnaround and gone literal for once.... and i doubt that greatly.

I think the main idea behind the song is the fear when you leave someone, or go away or just leave a restaurant or theatre or pub to go home and you leave someone behind - the fear that creeps in slowly but assuredly, of whether something will happen, whether they'll meet someone new, change their minds, find skeletons in the cupboard; or worse - whether something will happen to you: whether you'll meet someone, or be stripped from the "packed foam" that you're comfortable with, the ignorantly blissful stupor of being "blind drunk". Maybe a question of how much you trust yourself, or how in touch you are with how you're feeling at that particular time: whether crashing would wake you up.

Overall, it's that horrible feeling of the esprit d'escalier - the things you didn't say when you had the chance to, or remembered to say a moment too late.

Well. It's that simple: our life might end driving to the supermarket. Don't ever avoid telling someone that you love him/her. But, who can do that? We would be just saying "i love you"... (perhaps it's better just to think it)

whatever that it is up there knows anyway...
