The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Speeding Cars" by the artist "Walking On Cars"

Contents

"Speeding Cars" by Walking On Cars portrays a story of forbidden love and the internal conflict it brings. The narrator stands on the precipice of something new and dangerous, symbolized by the "speeding cars." He yearns to know everything about his lover, yet their secret is all they have.

He is torn between confessing his feelings and the fear of repercussions. The "demons in the dark," representing fear and doubt, convince him that "no one should know" about their affair. The "safest way" is to keep pretending, singing empty songs ("Heya, heya...") that mask their true emotions.

The recurring line "You go back to him, and I go back to her" emphasizes the tragic reality: both are in committed relationships and forced to return to their lives, suppressing their feelings.

The repeated plea "Spill my secret" reveals desperation and a desire for release from the burden of secrecy, even at the cost of destruction. In the end, the narrator is left alone, still not knowing who his lover truly was.

So if I stand in front of a speeding car,

Would you tell me who you are?

What you like?

What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?

How I love that no one knows.

And these secrets are all that we've got so far

The demons in the dark, lie again,

Play pretends like it never ends

This way no one has to know

Even the half smile would help slow down the time

If I could call you half mine,

Maybe this is the safest way to go

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a

This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya hey-a-a-a

You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

So if I stand in front of a speeding car

Would you give your little heart?

Say the word

Do it too, just me and you?

This way everyone will know

Cause the secrets are all that we've got so far,

The demons in the dark, lie again,

Play pretend like it never ends

This way no one has to know.

Even the half smile would help slow down the time,

If I could call you half mine,

Maybe this is the safest way to go

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a

This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a

You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

So if I stand in front of a speeding car,

Would you tell me who you are?

What you like?

What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?

How I love that no one knows

And the secrets are all that we've got so far,

The demons in the dark, lie again,

Play pretend like it never ends

How I love that no one knows

Advertise my secret,

I don't really need it,

I know you can feel this,

So advertise my secret,

I don't really need it,

I know you can feel this,

So advertise my -

Advertise my secret

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a,

This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt,

We're singing heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a,

You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

If I stand in front of a speeding car

I don't know who you are

Don't know who you are

Heya heya heya heya,

Heya, heya heya-a-a

You back to him and then I'll go back to her
