Motorcycle Drive By Lyrics

Summer time and the wind is blowing outside
In lower Chelsea and I don't know
What I'm doing in this city
The sun is always in my eyes
It crashes through the windows
And I'm sleeping on the couch
When I came to visit you
That's when I knew I could never have you
I knew that before you did
Still I'm the one who's stupid

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes
And you don't mind, you smile
And say the world it doesn't fit with you

I don't believe you, you're so serene
Careening through the universe
Your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free
I hope you take a piece of me with you
And there's things I would like to do
That you don't believe in
I would like to build something
But you never see it happen

And there's this burning
Like there's always been
I've never been so alone
And I've, I've never been so alive

And there's this burning
There was this burning

Where's the soul I want to know
New York City is evil
The surface is everything but I could never do that
Someone would see through that
And this is our last time
We'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am

And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone
And I, and I've, I've never been so alive, so alive

I go home to the coast
It starts to rain I paddle out on the water alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain
I'm not thinking of you again
Summer dies and swells rise
The sun goes down in my eyes
See this rolling wave
Darkly coming to take me home

And I've never been so alone
And I've never been so alive

What is the Meaning of Motorcycle Drive By?

In the midst of a bustling cityscape, we find a soul grappling with unrequited love and existential longing. The lyrics paint a picture of fleeting moments spent with someone who feels out of reach, like trying to grasp smoke. The protagonist is caught in the paradox of feeling both intensely alive and utterly alone. Visions of motorcycle rides become metaphors for freedom and the bittersweet ache of unattainable dreams. The burning sensation mentioned throughout symbolizes an enduring inner turmoil, a fire that refuses to be quenched by time or distance. As summer fades into autumn, the waves crashing against the coast mirror his turbulent emotions—painful yet cleansing. This song is an ode to those hauntingly beautiful moments that shape us, even as they slip through our fingers. #UnrequitedLove #ExistentialJourney
