Lyrics
When I hear.... the sound of concrete and steel
When I hear the sounds of urbanization and industrialization (symbolized by concrete and steel),
I sense a rhythm, that science can't feel
I perceive a rhythm or essence that cannot be understood or replicated by scientific knowledge alone.
I feel the beat.... of our hearts as one
I feel the pulsation of our collective hearts beating as one, indicating unity or solidarity.
I hold your color, when my vision is gone
Even when my sight fails, I remember and cherish your essence or identity.
This power is something but the force is blind
This power or influence is significant, but it operates without clear direction or purpose.
Transmitted through a network, of your own kind
It's transmitted or spread through a network of individuals who share similar traits or characteristics.
As minutes tick away.... and days become years
As time passes and years go by,
I know this old feeling, it's a substance in my tears
I recognize this familiar emotion, a substance felt within my tears, suggesting a deeply emotional connection or experience.
And the kids on the street
Referring to the youth in society,
And the kids everywhere
Not just specific to certain locations, but young people in general,
And all I gotta say is the kids don't care
I express that the youth are indifferent or unconcerned about something.
When I hear...
Repetition of line 1
I sense a rhythm...
Repetition of line 2
I feel the beat...
Repetition of line 3
I hold your color...
Repetition of line 4
When you've got me running and you stop my machine
When you have me in motion and suddenly halt my progress,
You try to tell me something, that has never been
You attempt to communicate something unfamiliar or unprecedented to me.
When you stop me running, with my own pack
When you bring my movement to a stop, possibly within a group or familiar setting,
You know you've got me swearing that I'll get my own back
You make me vow or swear that I will retaliate or seek justice.
