Lyrics
Well I've been trying to reignite Whatever's going on inside
Expressing the effort to revive or rekindle something within oneself.
I don't know

What's going on, what's going on tonight

Can you see the raindrops falling down Can you see the streetlights flickering Different than they used to
Observing raindrops and streetlights, noting a change from the past.
Cause I can and I don't understand
Expressing confusion and lack of comprehension despite the observation.
Nothing's gettin' better Nothing's gettin' better anymore So take me back, take me back take me back to 1984

Ohh, we can make it right
Expressing a belief that things can be set right or improved.
Ohh, dancing through the night and you You can see the same signs
Referring to dancing through the night and shared experiences with someone.
The same signs as me
Noting that the other person can perceive the same signs or symbols.
