Poison Street
Poison Street: Defying History's Walls
Lyrics
We were singing in the rain - like we invented singing
We expressed joy despite challenges, as if we were the originators of joyous singing.
There's a light in the sky from a million street lights
The urban landscape is illuminated by countless streetlights, creating a collective glow in the sky.
And we danced all the steps from all those old time movies
We embraced various dance styles from classic films of the past.
Rolling down the hill with laughing hearts
Rolling down the hill with joyful hearts, carefree and happy.
In Poison Street they guard the gates with bitter, bitter tongues
In Poison Street, the entrance is guarded by people with harsh and resentful words.
In Poison Street we'll laugh out loud until the shadows go melt away
In Poison Street, we will laugh loudly until the troubles and darkness disappear.
And I love you now like I love you always ever
Expressing enduring love, comparing it to a childlike affection that transcends time.
Kissing in the dark like a couple of kids
Sharing intimate moments in the dark, reminiscent of carefree youth.
You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder
You provided vitality, illumination, and excitement like a powerful storm.
Like a blind man sees for the very first time
Comparing the impact of your presence to the profound experience of a blind person gaining sight.
In Poison Street we'll go crashing through the walls that history made for us
In Poison Street, we will break through the barriers imposed by history.
In Poison Street we'll spring the traps and race away
In Poison Street, we will evade obstacles and escape quickly.
Ch: So just a kick for this dark damned city of ours
A call to action, advocating for defiance in the face of the challenges in their city.
And a kiss, yeah a kiss for you
A symbolic kiss offered as a gesture of love and solidarity.
And just a drink, a toast to the days to come
Raising a toast to the future, celebrating the days to come.
Now Poison Street won't break us any more
Asserting that Poison Street will no longer have the power to break their spirits.
We were singing in the rain - like we wrote that song
Recalling joyful moments in challenging circumstances, likening it to creating a song.
There's a light in the sky from the streetlights all around
The sky is illuminated by streetlights, emphasizing the pervasive urban environment.
You gave me life, you gave me light and thunder
A repetition emphasizing the powerful impact of a person on the speaker's life.
Like a man makes fire for the very first time
Comparing the transformative effect of a person to the creation of fire by a man.
In Poison Street . . .
In Poison Street, the ellipsis suggests an unfinished thought or ongoing struggle.
