R.E.M- Drive LYRICS

[@martinharris5017]

The whoie musical arrangement has a slow-burn feeling of impending apocalypse, it just builds, and builds, comes to the brink...and leaves you hanging there. just brilliant.

[@gamefootage3288]

I've been looking for this song for years. My father and I used to listen to this song when I was a kid. Memories flood back.

[@shanerhynes5695]

Exactly, I asked my 20 yol to tell me what it meant, she said I think he's saying no matter what you do in life, time doesn't wait for anyone and it is the same for all, so just do what you want, nobody tells you what to do! She said the song is amazing, i felt so proud like I wrote it!! Haha

[@angievanhoose9007]

IM FEELING THIS & HOPE YOU ALL ARE LIVING BY THIS "FREE BABY"! ANGIE V.

[@TheSuperMAn1989]

To me the guy is talking about rock&roll kids who made have criticised him and/or his music which is perhaps more evolved and so he is saying:"maybe I drive,maybe you walk"meaning he goes faster&knows where is going while the the rockers are going slow asleep;like crazy frenzy rocking around the clock as telling them:"that's all you do but it means nothing of substance"He is saying he got off that nonsense&that maybe those who critisize are trying to get off also but don't know how..

[@zanetamatjacic7595]

The best of them ✌️☺️

[@jesusmartinez-rb8wp]

[@s.p.9706]

It's empowering

[@jodietheflyinpigfromamityv2446]

Awesome!

[@dergudegruene]

why does this song make me so sad.....!!!?

[@pedromonkeypedro]

Rose McGee The message is actually pretty positive I think. It's about the harnessing the "drive" you have when you're younger to effect change.

[@dergudegruene]

I know, it makes me sad cos I'm not young anymore... maybe sad was the wrong word... its more like it makes me nostalgic in a sad way

[@daydreamer77davina]

I wanna know what the song is all about You have to understand that I’m Swedish and we are 2 languages but we learned English for real by watching movies,playing games and of course Music.. my generation was the first to learn so we never heard are parents or regular people speak English.and we learned British English in school. I catch up like a new word every day. I understand the words but I just find out what the drive is! It’s got to have a full point it always does! Always,you can’t use your imagination The song have a bigger picture Like Ollie,Ollie ,Ollie Every word makes the song complete I’m a sing and songwriter and love to know every word in a song I love. I can google or Wikipedia but I ask you first🤝💁‍♀️💜💫 And if you got some shit to start with Me You better be preperad and i don’t mean littarly‼️😂🤬😆 🤘🙏🏻💙🚪🕳🙊 knowlegde is power SILENCE IS GOLDEN

[@71fluffdaddy]

@@daydreamer77davina Its about your inner drive what gets you going. I think Stipe was trying to say for some adolescent teens who dont have guidance and maybe in a rutt or even depressed it was time to get back on track or go get pyschiatric help bc maybe you are crazy on the head. I think Ollie, Ollie, Ollie come on free is like the hide and seek games we played as kids time to come out of your personal hidding place not only physical but mentally. Its a plea a cry to wake up before time passed. Sometimes in this world we live in nobody tells us what to do a purpose.

[@AshaManwah-cd4pe]

🤔👍 saling signs only around for heavyyy things only

[@fiftypercentgrey]

discuss them with others. or read what others think. there are lots of pages/forums for stuff like that for any song. try and google "[band name + song name] lyrics meanings" and you ll find some of those :)

[@TheSuperMAn1989]

He describe nutcases using stuff getting"high"like robots with no sense of direction yet when he says:"Hey kids where are you?Nobody tells you what to do baby.."He makes it clear that even though they may be lost in an emptiness, everybody is free to chose their own path yet he is just describing a waste of time for those kids as a warning, for them to see it for what it is: a waste of life..so I think..

[@paulgalligan1916]

Şu dil olarak değiştir: İngilizce Şaplak, çatlak, çarpık. Raflara bir tane daha bağla bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, rock'n roll. Kimse sana nereye gideceğini söylemez bebeğim. Ya binersem? ya yürürsen? Ya günün her saatinde sallarsanız? Tik tak. tik tak. Ya yaptıysanız? ya yürürsen? Ya kurtulmaya çalışırsan bebeğim? Hey çocuklar, neredesiniz? Kimse sana ne yapacağını söylemez bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, bacağınızı sallayın. Belki kafanda delisin, bebeğim. Belki yaptın. belki yürüdün. Belki de günün her saati sallandı. Tik tak. tik tak. Belki biniyorum. belki yürürsün. Belki de inmeye giderim bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, bacağınızı sallayın. Belki kafanda delisin, bebeğim. Ollie, Ollie. Ollie ollie ollie. Ollie ollie serbest bırak bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, neredesiniz? Kimse sana ne yapacağını söylemez bebeğim. Smack, çatla. kulübe-a-eksikliği. Sırtına bir tane daha bağla bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, rock'n roll. Kimse sana nereye gideceğini söylemez bebeğim. Belki yaptın. belki yürürsün. Belki günün her saati sallanırsın Tik tak. tik tak. Belki biniyorum. belki yürürsün. Belki de inmeye giderim bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, neredesiniz? Kimse sana ne yapacağını söylemez bebeğim. Hey çocuklar, rock'n roll. Kimse sana nereye gideceğini söylemez bebeğim, bebeğim, bebeğim.
