Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars (Lyrics)

I LOVE this song, and wanted to put the definitively correct lyrics (as found on www.imogenheap.com) for it out there, since there seems to be so much controversy about it.

The song, if you want to buy it for yourself, is found on the "Goodnight And Go" single released in 2006 as well as on some versions of "Speak For Yourself" as a bonus track.

Enjoy!

Is it "violins" or "violence"?

[timeoffire450]

It is definitively "violins." If you go to her website and look up her albums/songs, the lyrics for this song are posted there. You'll see that it is, indeed, violins.

[phoebephilosophy]

yay first comment:) lol anyways, what's this song about?

[timeoffire450]

Wow... talk about a complicated question... Okay, so there are many interpretations, but mine is that it's a song about someone who refuses to grow up and see the good in the world. 0:56-1:18 serves to reinforce that this person (who sedates themselves in a figurative sense) has been spiraling down and how now is as "bad" a time as it has been before, so why not grow up now before it's too late? Also, the chorus points out "none of us were angels" meaning that everyone makes mistakes. :-)

@Palliis Can she sing as high as Imogen can.

My friend has a voice just like hers, and she sang this to put her baby sister to sleep one night. I think about that every time I hear this song. Which is cool because this song is beautiful.

@BloxxerTiger4Ever violins..it symbolizes sorrow or sadness..dnt feed her sadness.

I think, or at least this is a way I connect with it, She might be talking to someone who has a major regret, one that's eating them away. And she's trying to make them understand that it's nothing serious, no ones perfect, it's just part of life to make mistakes and such, shouldn't get overly down about it. But, hey to each his own opionion. That's what art is. The artist can have a motive of projecting something, but the viewer can take it to a whole new level, and adapt it to themselves.

I always thought that this was a song looking on the bright side of life. & growing up isn't too bad, but you do have to keep your inner child with you wherever, otherwise, well, what would life be like without our childlike curiosity? Btw, I love this song and the awesometastic lyrics <33 It gives hope to the routine ordinary life that some of us have, I guess. :) & Imogen Heap ftw <3
