Passat Dream Lyrics

This is honestly one of the most confusing songs to interpret that I've run across, which is great, I love those. The only way that I can interpret it is that it's a girl attempting to impress a guy. Her manner of doing this is to buy a car to get with him, ala "And that's the car to his soul. He will bring you all the millions in gold, child -- if you will only let him have his role" With "he" being a sorta rotation between the car and the guy she's trying to impress. The song is told from the perspective of the dealer trying to prey on her desperation to get him.
