The Passenger - Trainspotting

Trainspotting Video
The Passenger Lyrics:
I am the passenger
And I ride and I ride
I ride through the citys backside
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, theyre bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the citys a rip in the sky
And everything looks good tonight
Singin la la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la
La la la la la-la-la la la-la
Get into the car
Well be the passenger
Well ride through the city tonight
See the citys ripped insides
Well see the bright and hollow sky
Well see the stars that shine so bright
The sky was made for us tonight
Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He see the stars come out tonight
He sees the citys ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
cause it just belongs to you and me
So lets take a ride and see whats mine
Singing...
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his windows eye
He sees the things he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
Oh, lets ride and ride and ride and ride...
Singing...

The main idea I got from Trainspotting was that everybody gets high. Some people achieve it by shooting heroin, some people beat people up (begbie), some people live the corporate life (Renton when he goes to London and works Real Estate), and some people "choose life." The main argument they're making is that people will never understand why different people choose the life that they do. Similar to how you wouldn't understand the act of trainspotting unless you yourself were doing it.

[@eckoalbino1623]

I think this is why The Passenger by Iggy Pop works in the movie as well

[@JonnyUnderrated]

It's not about DRUG'S , it's about people in a specific place in time. Sure drugs are a factor but the movie itself is about much more than that. It's about friendship, changes and growing up in general. It's about LIFE.

British Expat resigned from my job in Hong Kong two days ago after spending Christmas sat in my room on my own. Been drunk ever since. Perfect song

[@70saju]

La heroína te acompaña toda la vida es una relación de amor odio que solo comprenden quien la han consumido ,gran película y gran banda sonora

[@carriebloomer4727]

[@tmofee]

yeah, it was deliberate. there's another moment in the film, where renton wakes up on the couch in dianne's house - he says "hullo" just like ringo did in one of the films as well :)

As much as I like this song, I've never understood why it's included in the soundtrack even though it's not actually in the film.

[@itwontcomeout5678]

+Christophe Itsweire was intended to be

[@OriginallyDecyphyrd]

Tell me this does'nt fit in with rest of the soundtrack....

[@nikoskatzilakis197]

cause its just nice...

[@goldilocks9687]

In my eyes you’re a passenger of their addiction

[@paulheinrichdietrich9518]

Cause Ziggy Pop is Renton's favourite performer.

[@larisakarr2005]

Great.

[@tmofee]

it's not. it's on the 2nd soundtrack, "music inspired by". iggy's referenced a lot in the book (and somewhat in the movie). if they had somewhere to put it, it would of been in the film as well :)

[@85wex]

Well there you go.You said it.Moderation.So youre almost agreeing.Smoking weed can become addictive in a psycological way.As I said,Ive seen people smash their homes up due to no weed yet once theyve got sorted theyre fine.Some people have self control, a lot of people dont & do have problems.Serious smokers/caners are at it everyday.

[@diegoarias4329]

Wuuut !! D:

[@plbrownie]

My... my God... I... I think you just killed grammar. I really think you killed it. You, sir, should be tried before a jury of your peers for such a heinous crime.

[@jackoacko]

@sasa1212332 No. Best movie ever. A timeless classic that didn't glorify or condemn heroin users. It showed the facts about heroin and tells the story of friendships that broke down due to it. It's ambiguous. It shows the good and the bad points of these people and leaves you on how to perceive them. It's the most human and truth to life film I have ever seen. And my favourite.

[@xRachelx1993x]

It's a good'n ^^

[@SENUVAL]

Temazo ctmre!

[@AsiHippiePepper]

rents i love you
