This verse is talking about how the backseat to most teensвЂ™ cars are filled with things from every day life - from CDs to fast-food wrappings - and also the things you would find embarrassing if other people saw. The song starts out by referencing cars, In the backseat of my heart Going home alone, in poor condition.вЂќ Keeping that in mind as we dive more into the lyricsвЂ¦ вЂњWishing to either be a better person or care less about the whole deal. Toledo has said the song is about the post-party melancholia. Listen:В вЂњDrunk Drivers/Killer WhalesвЂќ вЂ“ Car Seat HeadrestД«ut what you probably didnвЂ™t catch is how many metaphors and references lead vocalist and writer Will Toledo has interlaced into the lyrics. ThatвЂ™s the first thing you might notice about the song - and how repetitive вЂњkiller whalesвЂќ might get towards the end.

вЂњ Drunk Drivers/Killer WhalesвЂќ starts out with a soft-rock feel, and as the song progresses, continues to get more and more aggressive.

Alcohol, mental illness, andвЂ¦ older pop culture references? These are some of the first things that come to mind when listening through Car Seat HeadrestвЂ™s sixth track on their 13th record Teens of Denial.
