Rear View Mirror Lyrics
Rear view mirror
Rear view mirror
Rear view mirror
Rear view mirror
What the hell
While I've been trying to drive somewhere
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
Rear view mirror
Don't wanna live life looking through a
What the hell, well
I've been trying to drive somewhere
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass it slow, it's told you so, it's might as well give up, old friend
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass the classic no you never will and which is why we can
Which is why we can
Which is why we can
Don't wanna live life looking through a
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass it slow, it's told you so, it's might as well give up, old friend
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass the classic no you never will and which is why we can
Which is why we can
Which is why we can
Rear view mirror
Don't wanna live life looking through a
Rear view mirror
Rear view mirror
Rear view mirror
While I've been trying to drive somewhere
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
Don't wanna live life looking through a
I've been trying to drive somewhere
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
Real and nearer
Pass it slow, it's told you so, it's might as well give up, old friend
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass the classic no you never will and which is why we can
Which is why we can
Which is why we can
Pass it slow, it's told you so, it's might as well give up, old friend
To boldly go no normal Joe or Jack or Jeff had ever been
Pass the classic no you never will and which is why we can
Which is why we can
Which is why we can
Don't wanna live life looking through a

really abstract but it has a clear meaning which Im preety is just to not flow through life by living a dull life and get the most out of it. someone else probably could add more detail though but I just dont feal like writing up an elaborate meaning of it. who cares really. cool song btw
Agreed. The rear view mirror metaphor is used to say that despite the pioneering band's breakup, its members will boldly go forward and continue to achieve great new things without dwelling on what's behind them in the rear view mirror.
along with "hes simple, hes dumb" and "now its on", this song is one of the most sincere releases from grandaddy. it oozes soul and meaning. it sounds like the outpouring of a soul.
the meaning it self is easy. dont live your life looking through a rear view mirror. but the sound they make while telling this simple story is amazing.
a great song by a smart band.
This song is such a sad one.. Although the lyrics stay positive all along, there too much nostalgia in it. It's a perfect song to listen to in the train for example. Watching the lanscapes, remembrance of the lost time, etc...
