Cover art for Passat Dream lyrics by Pavement

das ist das Auto, um seine Seele

That is 'that's the car to his soul' in Deutsch language.

I think there is some comment on the auto industry and destruction caused by obsession with car for transportation and culture. The clash of ideals. The freedom that a car can provide compared to destruction that is required to keep up the car culture. 'All the plantings are young and able - and i hope you find a way to buy it.' This is an interesting line that maybe points to what I am saying.....

But over the top of everything is the fact that it is Scott Spiral Stairs Kannberg lyrics, and you just know he wants to be off-beat, quirky and maybe even meaningless.

I mean a Passat is a pretty lame car to be the way to someones soul.
