The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I Left My License in the Future" by the artist "Thundermother"

The song "I Left My License in the Future" by the Swedish rock band Thundermother is a metaphor about how we postpone our dreams and desires for later, finding excuses and reasons not to live life to the fullest.

The heroine of the song always wanted to be a racer, but "never had the time", life was busy surviving. Suddenly she finds herself behind the wheel, not knowing how to drive a car (a symbol of an unfamiliar situation she finds herself in, having cast aside her fears).

The phrase "I left my license in the future" is key. It's not about a literal driver's license, but about the courage to live the way you want, without waiting for the "right moment." The heroine realizes that the "moment" is an illusion and decides to act, even if it means taking risks and breaking the rules.

The image of a crazy race is a metaphor for the desire for freedom, for a life without restrictions and conventions. The heroine is not afraid of the consequences ("I guess I'll do time"), because she has finally tasted real life.

I was born to be a racer

But I never had the time

Caught up in many reasons

Been busy staying alive

How did I end up in a white Chevrolet?

Don't even know if it's the gas or the break

I got my backseat moments in the back of my mind

But this stick is of a different kind

He's pulling me over I'm speeding away

I guess I'm serving time

I left my license in the future

Ooh

Think I forgot it in a bar

Ooh

I got a hazy dazy memory

I think I never ever got it at all

I left my license in the future

Didn't even know I had a car

Cuz' I'm a crazy lazy city girl

I think I never ever got it at all

I left my license in the future

I was waiting for the moment

But the moment was a lie

So truth be told if you wanna know

I never had the drive to drive

But here I am and I'm a highway star

And now I'm in a black Jaguar

I'm speeding up don't wanna go into a prison cell

In fact I'd rather go to hell

I drive to a future

of fortune and fame

I ain't serving time

I left my license in the future

Ooh

Think I forgot it in a bar

Ooh

I got a hazy dazy memory

I think I never ever got it at all

I left my license in the future

Ooh

Didn't even know I had a car

Ooh

Cuz' I'm a crazy lazy city girl

I think I never ever got it at all

I never knew it would be such a ball

The only drag I know is from Ru-Paul

I left my license in the future

Think I forgot it in a bar

Ooh

I got a hazy dazy memory

I think I never ever got it at all

I left my license in the future

Ooh

Didn't even know I had a car

Ooh

Cuz' I'm a crazy lazy city girl

I think I never ever got it at all

The road is on fire

My engine's aflame

I guess you're serving time

I left my license in the future
