Straw poll!
What do you think this song is about?
Leave your answer in comments, I'm too lazy to set up a real poll, yo.
sounds like the car is being personified as the singer. the broken-down bits. or it could be about a relationship, but i think it's more about how the car/person feels worn the fuck down and is still hobbling, still transporting, still making the dream come true.

Posted by: trey on September 1, 2002 12:26 AM It's a song about being very sleepy. Very sleepy.
You can barely keep your eyes open. You're almost to your destination. But the heavy press of your eyelids forces them down over your eyes. And the car is destroyed around you but you have to move on.
So I'd say it's about overcoming obstacles in order to keep moving, even knowing that the journey will destroy you.
