Lyrics
Streets are lined with people
Observation of crowded streets filled with people.
People who want to move, move, move
Desire for movement and activity among the people.
How could all these people have so much to prove, prove, prove
Wondering why these individuals feel the need to prove themselves.
Oh I can only ask myself
Reflecting on the situation and questioning.
Oh where are you all going
Curiosity about the destination of the people.
And won't you take me with you to
Expressing a desire to join them on their journey.
Where all the sirens are blaring
Reference to a chaotic, possibly urban environment with sirens.
Uptight downtown
Introduction of the concept of being "uptight downtown."
I'll prove that's how to make the ground
Claiming to demonstrate the method to establish one's presence.
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Acknowledging a rise in tension or excitement.
Uptight downtown
Reiteration of the "uptight downtown" theme.
I'll prove that's how to make the ground
Reaffirmation of proving one's place in the scene.
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Reiteration of heightened emotions or intensity.
Streets are lined with people
Repetition of the initial observation of crowded streets.
With nothing else to lose, lose, lose
Highlighting a sense of desperation or having nothing to lose.
When did all these people decide to change their shoes, shoes, shoes
Questioning a change in the people's decisions or attitudes.
Oh I can only ask myself
Continued self-reflection on the situation.
Oh where are you all going
Reiteration of curiosity about the destination of the people.
And won't you take me with you to
Expressing a desire to be part of their journey.
Where all the sirens are blaring
Reiteration of the chaotic environment with sirens.
Uptight downtown
Repetition of the "uptight downtown" theme.
I'll prove that's how to make the ground
Claiming again to demonstrate the method for making an impact.
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Reiterating the rise in tension or excitement.
Uptight downtown
Repetition of the "uptight downtown" theme.
I'll prove that's how to make the ground
Reaffirmation of proving one's presence in the scene.
And now I know the temperature is rising, is rising
Reiteration of heightened emotions or intensity.
Uptight
Repetition and emphasis on being "uptight downtown."

-Why are we fighting
Pondering the reason for conflict or tension.
I don't understand
Expressing confusion about the ongoing situation.
Oh but the temperature is rising tonight
Reiteration of a rise in tension or excitement.
