It was like a movie scene

We are not even real
Nor are the things we think we feel

Black Car
Miriam Bryant
[Verse 1]
It was like a movie scene
A cut out from a magazine
We are not even real
Nor are the things we think we feel
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm going back to 030
I'd fly for 20 hours or so
A thousand miles apart in heart and soul
And now the rubbers burning
Now the wheels are turning
I won't care as long as you don't
[Chorus]
Cus we go driving in your black car
Pick me up and love fast
We go driving in your black car
Pick me up and love fast
[Verse 2]
I met you on the dance floor
I was high and you were bored
I asked you for a lighter and you thought
"Oh I like her"
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Going back to 030
Back and forth but we both know
That nothing lasts forever, no
Now you spent all our money
You used to call me "honey"
And I know that you're sorry
[Chorus]
We go driving in your black car
Pick me up and love fast
We go driving in your black car
Pick me up and love fast
[Bridge]
We're dying for connection
Hoping that we'll get some
Some sort of reaction
Maybe we just need attention
[Chorus]
We go driving in your black car
Pick me up and love fast
We go driving in your black car
Pick my up and love fast

“Black Car” tells the story of how Miriam Bryant met her boyfriend (now ex-boyfriend), Tommy Hey, drummer in the German band Desasterkids.
They met on the dance floor in Berlin where she asked him if she could borrow a lighter and later ended up driving around Berlin in his black car. The song also declares the pessimistic thinking of how nothing really is forever, even though at the time it seems right. In an interview with Swedish paper Aftonbladet, Miriam elaborated by saying that things automatically go to hell and that the only thing you really know is that you'll die someday. Everything in between is just lucky or unlucky.
In early 2017, she won an award at the Swedish gala “P3 Guld” for song of the year. During the acceptance speech, she called out her ex on stage where she thanked “the fucking asshole with his black car, in which I'll never put my foot again.”
