Chasing cars song meaning
Great song though, I can't pick on it too much.
The explanation, "he wouldn't know what to do if he caught one" makes sense, but I still don't like it.
I can't get used to the title, though, it just doesn't seem like the heart of the song to me. It would stand to reason that the ground could represent reality, as they would have their backs to reality in this song, later to be faced as "cold" reality and "warm" reality in the other songs, respectively. For some reason, I picture this song as a couple with their backs to the ground, staring up at the stars. There is also the matter of lying down on the ground, which appears in this song, Set the Fire to the Third Bar, and Warmer Climate. It's not shut your eyes, but it is some form of blindness. The theme of the album shows up in the line, "Here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see". For however good it feels in the moment, it's a set-up for disaster. Track 4 leads to track 5 and it is eventually revealed that this is a naive state of mind. This song seems to be the beautiful side of ignoring reality through love, whereas the next song, Shut Your Eyes, seems to be about the dangerous side. I can’t openly talk about my trauma and I push the emotions away so I can just get through my education and eventually move someplace I can be myself and can be honest about what has happened.General CommentIdealized love, that's what I hear. In real life I try to ignore my pain, grief, anger, guilt, resentment, shame, and all that caused by various traumas throughout life mainly me being raped in my childhood.

It’s always exactly the same terrain, and usually it’s just me being chased by one presence that’s trying to catch me. Original lyrics of Chasing Cars song by One Direction. Why do I dream this? It’s an imaginary terrain placed on a real location. I reach the balcony, probably a good 60-100 feet high, and am pushed off, falling to my death. Usually I run past that place though, and I run to this castle. There’s a meadow I have to run across and then I reach this little white house there on a hill once I climbed a telephone pole there and the guy ran passed (one of the few times I identified the pursuer, he was trying to kill me). I always run to the same place, it’s through the woods of my neighbor’s house, but the terrain is so much different. I don’t typically identify what’s chasing me, usually I just feel the presence and I know their intentions. The dream varies a bit, but typically I am in the woods to the right of our house being chased by someone or something. I always seem to remember these dreams more than any other dream. I’ve had these dreams for years on end now. Usually at least once a month, but probably twice-and those are just the ones I remember.
