| Song lyrics |
Mike was right
When he said I'd put up a fight to be someone
A fight to be me
But see now, I'm down
Under the pavement
Of Capitol Hills and Lowercase People.
As time rolls by my dreams have become
That which is attainable
Not what I'm looking for.
Chorus:
I've got the Company Car
I'm the one swinging at two-below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones that I've never believed in
But I've got the Company Car
Hey, I'm the king
Of things I've always despised
I'm the ginger-bread man who got eaten alive.
I'm half-baked
I'm fake
But see I got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk
And 200 bucks
I pass Go, but oh,
Life's takin' it's toll
Have I won Monopoly to forfeit my soul?
But see,
I've got the Company Car
I'm the one swinging at two-below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones that I've never believed in
But I've got the Company Car
Yeah, all the king's horses
At the foot of the wall
They're taking pictures
Of the man who's lost all of his
Masks of pretention
He's got two faces left.
-His is the one that he hides on the left
Behind that smile..
Hiding tears and fear
That burns like an engine
It drives him away from the ones that he loves
Mike was right,
Hey Mike!
We're one and the same
We're the faceless combatants
In the lonliest game
Ah but say, I'll wave, As I'm driving by
With that smirk in my eye
Yelling "Hey, I'm something man,
Check me out!"
I've got the Company Car
I'm the one swinging at two-below par
Yeah, I've become one with the ones that I've never believed in
But I've got the Company Car
Yeah, check me out
I got the Company Car (2x)
Yeah, check me out
I've got the Company Car
Yeah

I think the song's about how materialistic people face emptiness within, but they try to ignore that fact by drowning themselves even deeper in their materialistic pleasures. He turns materialism inside out by taking on the voice of a lonely and empty materialistic guy: Hiding tears and fear,
that burns like an engine; it drives him away from the ones that he loves. Mike was right. Hey Mike! We're one and the same, we're the faceless combatants in the lonliest game (of life). Ah but say, I'll wave, As I'm driving by, with that smirk in my eye, yelling, "Hey, I'm something man, check me out!" (when he's actually saying that just to make himself feel better). This is a BRILLIANT song - right up there among Switchfoot's very best. I guess the title "Company Car" means that material wealth is just a bonus (like the car your company gives you as a perk alongwith your salary- its nothing worth boasting about), its not the be-all-end-all, it doesn't give any sense of meaning or spiritual fulfilment to life. | 24-07-2005 22:49 Fierce_Cubs |  88 posts
