Streets of Baltimore
Chasing Dreams Through the Streets of Baltimore
Lyrics
I must've drove this street a millions
The narrator has driven along this street numerous times.
At least a thousand times before
Expressing familiarity with the street, having traversed it extensively in the past.
Its always beautiful in the fall time
The scenery is particularly picturesque during the autumn season.
To walk the streets of baltimore
Reflecting on the experience of walking through the streets of Baltimore.
and you say that things would stay the same
There's an assertion that circumstances would remain constant or unchanged.
But I know I'm gonna miss the changing of the leaves this year
Anticipating a feeling of loss due to missing the annual natural occurrence of leaves changing colors.
And I know I'm gonna make it back there
Confident in the intention to return to Baltimore once the narrator rediscovers their own identity or purpose.
As soon as I find myself
Planning to return to Baltimore upon self-realization or understanding.
I use to fall asleep at double rock without a penny to my name
Recalling a time when the narrator had very little, possibly financially, at Double Rock, shaping their aspirations and ambitions.
That's what made me dream my dreams
Suggesting that having minimal possessions or wealth encouraged the narrator to dream ambitiously.
Because I had everything to give
Feeling they possessed abundant potential and opportunities to offer.
and you say that things would stay the same
Similar to line 6, a belief or assurance that circumstances will persist unchanged.
But I know I'm gonna miss the changing of the leaves this year
Expecting a sense of regret for missing the annual leaf color change.
And I know I'm gonna make it back there
Reaffirming the determination to return to Baltimore once self-discovery occurs.
As soon as I find myself
Planning to return to Baltimore upon finding one's true self or purpose.
soon as I find myself
Reiterating the intent to return to Baltimore upon self-discovery.
I'm gonna make it back there
Expressing the determination to revisit Baltimore.
But I know I'm gonna miss the changing of the leaves this year
Reiterating the expectation of feeling regret for missing the changing autumn leaves.
And I know I'm gonna make it back there
Reaffirming the commitment to return to Baltimore upon self-realization.
As soon as I find myself
Intending to return to Baltimore once a sense of self is found.
and I know I'm gonna miss the changing of the leaves this year
Anticipating regret for not witnessing the annual autumnal leaf change.
And I know I'm gonna make it back there
Confident in the intention to return to Baltimore after self-discovery.
As soon as I find myself
Planning to return to Baltimore once a sense of self is regained.
