Faster Car: Push Yourself

Faster Car by Loving Caliber

Faster Car is a fun pop tune by Loving Caliber featuring Anders Lystell and Micheal Stenmark. It is in the Epidemic Sound library, on YouTube.

Faster Car is about wanting to be free and to push his limits.

The singer wants the freedom and control a car will bring him (I say him because the singer is male).  A car is something he would own himself, therefore he can do what ever he wants with it. Also a faster car, suggests danger or pushing himself to the limit. Faster cars brings up the image of expensive cars as well as of racing cars. Expensive cars implies and ability to support himself, and importance. A racing car is danger and going to the extreme. The car, which is repeated mentioned in the song, in the line "I wanna drive a faster car,".

But he also seems to be restricted because of the line "no one's stopping me now". Which suggests someone was stopping him before. It also suggests that there may have been limits on himself, put onto himself by himself. He could also be trying to go beyond his own limits and push himself. Combined with the idea of a car, the physical manifestation of his desires, the singer is trying to move forward and push himself as well.


"Skip my breaks" another line repeated within the song, has the image of the physical movement of skipping, which tends to be seen as a happy movement. Skipping is also to go over. Breaks meanwhile is literally car breaks but it is also limits. Therefore this line means, he will go over his limits with happiness. Or push himself.
