| Arcade Fire – No Cars Go Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Everyone here mustn't have spent too much time in school. Your guesses as to the meanings of the song are very far-fetched in light of the true meaning. It's about the closing of a General Motors plant in Oshawa, Ontario, and the disastrous effects the closing had on the city (think of Flint, Michigan). The "click of the light" is the final switching off of the lights in the plant on the workers' last day; and the "start of the dream" is everyone wondering what they're going to do next. It's from the perspective of the children of the workers. | |
