Lyrics
One day I will be back in our old street
Expressing a desire to return to a familiar place, specifically an old street.
Safe from the noise that's falling around me
Seeking refuge from the disturbances or chaos surrounding the speaker.
And we'll release this town from the people
Aspiring to reclaim the town from those trying to destroy it.
Who are trying to knock it down
Referring to people attempting to demolish the town.
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
Envisioning a future where city lights illuminate the night sky.
And there will be no sound
Imagining a peaceful state with no audible disturbances.
Open the bars and open the markets
Suggesting the opening of various establishments, possibly symbolizing freedom.
Open the banks and open the churches
Listing different places, emphasizing the idea of opening up and breaking free.
And we'll release this town from the people
Reiterating the desire to liberate the town from destructive forces.
Who are trying to knock it down
Reaffirming the threat to the town and the need for protection.
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
Imagining a serene atmosphere with only city lights illuminating the night.
And there will be no sound
Describing a quiet and peaceful scenario without disturbances.
We've been cowering so long
Reflecting on a prolonged state of fear or submission.
Oh, what I would give, I ask so little
Expressing a simple desire for something valuable or meaningful.
Oh, what I would give to stand at the bus stop
Wishing to engage in ordinary, everyday activities like waiting at a bus stop.
Or browse in a bookshop to sleep and always be still
Longing for moments of tranquility, like browsing in a bookshop and uninterrupted sleep.
And we'll release this town from the people
Reiterating the goal of freeing the town from destructive influences.
Who are trying to knock it down
Highlighting the ongoing threat to the town's well-being.
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
Envisioning a future where only city lights adorn the night sky.
And I will be set free from the people
Expressing a desire to break free from oppressive individuals.
Who are trying to bury me
Referring to people actively working against the speaker's freedom.
And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
Imagining a liberated state where fireworks symbolize celebration and freedom.
For all the world can see
Conveying a desire for the world to witness the speaker's freedom and celebration.
