No Cars Go Lyrics

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go

(Hey) No cars go
(Hey) No cars go
Where we know

We know a place no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go

(Hey) No cars go
(Hey) No cars go
Where we know

(Hey)
(Hey)
(Go, go)

(Hey) Us kids know
(Hey) No cars go
Where we know

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

I don't want any pushing, and I don't want any shoving
We're gonna do this in an orderly manner
Women and children
Women and children
Women and children, let's go
Old folks, let's go
Babies needing cribs, let's go

What is the Meaning of No Cars Go?

Dive into a whimsical escape where the hum of engines and the clatter of civilization are but distant memories! "No Cars Go" by Arcade Fire invites us to an idyllic sanctuary, untouched by modern conveyances. This tune isn't just about dodging traffic; it's a poetic rebellion against the grind, a call to find purity in places unmarred by technological invasion. Whether it's planes, ships, or spaceships, all are banned from this dreamy retreat. It’s less about logistics and more about longing—a collective yearning for simplicity and a return to a space where our souls can play without boundaries. So pack your bags (light, of course), and let's tiptoe into this utopia. All aboard the imagination express! #EscapeTheNoise #DreamSanctuary
