I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Drive
You're not going to be prepared for this
You've left a trail of red and crossed it on your front door,
And now I'm here
So, you're the first thing on my list of things to do today
Follow me outside and I'll
Feed those hungry eyes of yours
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now
Let's close the door, and start the fun,
I really do hope you're comfortable
I'll strap you down and choose my tool because,
First the arms and then the eyes I'll leave the hands
I know you touched her with them
You make me fucking sick
Swallow your last breath of air,
Feel your lips grow cold,
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now
You drove me to this
How will I ever stop?
I'm addicted to kill,
As much as I am to you
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse
So here's to the deathcar, we will feast tonight
Just say the words and this will all end
Now you can see how it feels!
You're not going to be prepared for this
You've left a trail of red and crossed it on your front door,
And now I'm here
So, you're the first thing on my list of things to do today
Follow me outside and I'll
Feed those hungry eyes of yours
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now
Let's close the door, and start the fun,
I really do hope you're comfortable
I'll strap you down and choose my tool because,
First the arms and then the eyes I'll leave the hands
I know you touched her with them
You make me fucking sick
Swallow your last breath of air,
Feel your lips grow cold,
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now
You drove me to this
How will I ever stop?
I'm addicted to kill,
As much as I am to you
So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse
So here's to the deathcar, we will feast tonight
Just say the words and this will all end
Now you can see how it feels!

They obviously have a couple of christian beliefs and are making some references. They talk about sins alot, the cross of blood on the door is good aswel.
Whether or not they believe strongly in Christianity I am not sure.
Very intense song! Saw these guys open up for FEEDER at Brixton when I was in the UK on holiday. They were damn tight live and good act to open up for Feeder.<br /> Bought a few CD's the next day. <br /> Been listening to this song a fair bit and reading the references you guys have said you probably spot on.<br /> <br /> Taking a less literal stance to Charlie's meaning, it would come across as revenge on a rapist or abusive man against a women's free will, the women being extremely close to that of the guy taking the revenge to the accused. <br /> Screaming has its place in this type of music without a doubt and the aggression and intensity in the vocal and music delivers that interpretation to me.
