‘Getaway car’ talks about breaking out to chase your dreams.
Life itself is a journey on which you embark and take turns constantly, shaping your future.
It talks about the importance of making choices close to our hearts and true to ourselves, to work towards our dreams and even though sometimes we might get stuck, we should try to appreciate every step of the way.
At any given moment in life you can ‘get in your getaway car’ and start creating the life you want to live. It’s also an ode to the DIY scene as we have drawn so much inspiration out of the experiences we had being on the road and seeing other people create their dreams.
lyrics
Can you turn down the sunlight?
I wanna leave but don’t know how
It fell apart right from the start
I can’t see anything
Come pick me up from here
We’re on the run
And if we can break out from this place
We’ll leave without a trace
So you can take me anywhere
Even in this sunshine it feels like I’m breathing underwater
Can you turn down the sunlight?
It’s way too bright to go outside
Let’s leave tonight, the time is right
We can go anywhere
I find it hard to stay in my skin
With the cops closing in
And if you can just accelerate we’ll blow them all away
And you can take me anywhere tonight
We were born to be the difference
Not to serve our prison time
Let’s not wait for things to change
Let’s go out and catch a ride
We were born to be the difference
Racing through all the red lights
Let’s not wait for things to change
Make our getaway tonight
So let’s drive in our getaway car
Even in this sunshine it feels like I’m breathing underwater
Get away and let’s drive
Get away and drive
