You Wish
Navigating the Streets of Change: Unveiling the Essence of 'You Wish'
Lyrics
Something's cooking on the corner
Observing activity on the street corner, indicating something significant is happening.
And the street wise catch the scent
People with street smarts sense and understand the unfolding situation.
Something's hiding in the shadows like some bomb though
An element of danger or tension is present in the shadows, creating an explosive atmosphere.
Evidently it's a sticky situation
A challenging and complicated circumstance is evident.
The masses up in arms
The general public is getting agitated or upset.
The kids are getting restless
Youth are becoming unsettled or rebellious.
From the cities to the farms
The situation is affecting people across urban and rural areas.
Feels I'm turning
The speaker feels a personal transformation or shift.
Rubbers burning
There's a sense of urgency or acceleration, possibly in a vehicle.
It's a whole new scene
A completely new scenario or environment is unfolding.
People stop and ask you
People are inquiring about the speaker's meaning or intentions.
What exactly do you mean
The speaker is asked to clarify their statement.
Everybody's singing choir
A collective expression or action, possibly united in song.
Carrying on the next crusade
People are engaged in a new social or political cause.
You're either for him or against him
A binary stance is presented—either support or opposition.
That's exactly what they say
This binary perspective is reiterated.
So watch out where you step
Caution is advised due to a precarious path with hidden dangers (paved with glass).
'Cause the road is paved with glass
The influence of powerful entities (corporate computers) dictates decisions for the masses.
The corporate computers
Highlighting the overarching control of corporations over societal choices.
Make decisions for the mass
The planning of future collective actions or movements.
Everybody's singing choir
Repetition of a united voice in song, possibly emphasizing unity in the face of adversity.
Planning on the next crusade
Continuation of plans for a collective effort or cause.
You're either for him or against him
Reiteration of the binary perspective regarding support or opposition.
That's exactly what they say
Restating the polarized view of the situation.
And you wish that you knew what is on my mind
Expressing a desire for understanding or insight into the speaker's thoughts.
Don't you wish? (think that you know what is on my mind)
Prompting the listener to wish they knew what is on the speaker's mind.
Don't you wish that you knew what I was talking about (wish that you know what is on my mind)
Repetition of the desire for comprehension about the speaker's topic of discussion.
Don't you wish? (think that you know what is on my mind)
Reiterating the listener's wish to understand the speaker's thoughts.
