This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
In this weather
The wind outside is biting
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
You've been asking me to bleed
It seems these kinds of questions
Come too easy to you now
Your lack of shame comes naturally
I should not be surprised
I should have seen it sooner
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
And this damp air
It's fighting my defroster
My sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
And it's clouded
And so is my head
The hint of these new tears are sharp
I try to choke them back
But it's useless
I'm useless against them
They are beating me with ease
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
In this weather
The wind outside is biting
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
You've been asking me to bleed
It seems these kinds of questions
Come too easy to you now
Your lack of shame comes naturally
I should not be surprised
I should have seen it sooner
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
And this damp air
It's fighting my defroster
My sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
And it's clouded
And so is my head
The hint of these new tears are sharp
I try to choke them back
But it's useless
I'm useless against them
They are beating me with ease
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

these lines seemed to have a relation with band's name dashboard confessional. heheh
people can shamelessly do things, that may hurt you. you can be expected to apologize although it may not be anything you've done. feeling hurt all you can do is let out your emotions. you cant change others. they arent going anywhere. Like a night with bad weather when your car is fogged up, you may feel that nothing is clear and you cant do anything but move forward. you can try to hold back tears but sometimes you jus have to let your feelings have out. you cant be expected to not feel hurt. so take the long way. dont rush yourself, just let it out as it comes.
spc04-- ditto. it's nice to know I'm not the only one who breaks down while shampooing.;)
::sigh:: ... what would we do without lonely car rides?*
Man I know what you are talking about, I am a friend of the loney car ride, and I never take one without this song!
i've started to come to the conclusion that my long lonely car rides late at night are maybe pointless...cause sometimes i feel taken for granted, and not loved at all...reading these lyrics, playing the song in my head makes my eyes fill with tears because im so scared to lose that which i never thought i could lose...
well, it sounds like you need to listen to those feelings and maybe be more careful about who you give your heart to, I'm not saying that is a solution, but I think it would help, there have been times I felt the same way, but the time I listened to my feelings I endedup happier, just some probaly unwanted advise.
no, not unwanted advice, thank u....ive just been really confused lately, and things have been pretty bleh...
i wish i could have lonely car rides with this song but my brother stole my cd so i cant!!!!!!
this song is probably one of my top 3 fav dc songs. this song is probably the song i dedicate to the hour drive home from volleyball tournaments. normally i'm s mad or pissed cuz i did poorly, and all i do is yell and scream and complain and cry, and the car sorta hears everything i have to say. ".....and I wish that I was gone, because you're not going anywhere."--one of my fav lines....my coach is a jagoff and pisses me off so much. and there are times i wish i would disappear, cuzi know he is still there watching and yelling at me. -sara-
