Brooklyn Kids
Brooklyn's Silent Symphony: Unspoken Yearning in Urban Hearts
Lyrics
Girl is on a white sheet
Girl is lying on a white sheet
She's tripped in a trance,
She's in a trance, possibly emotionally or mentally absorbed
While her friends go out and dance
Her friends are enjoying dancing while she remains detached
She's alone don't ask me why
She's alone, reasons unspecified
This kid from Brooklyn cries
A resident of Brooklyn expresses his emotions through crying
Boy struts on the main street
Boy confidently walks on the main street
He's dressed for affect
Dressed for impact, but his eyes betray a different emotional state
But his eye's reveal he's really red
He's truly feeling down despite his outward appearance
He's all alone don't ask me why
Similar to the girl, he is alone without a specified reason
This kid from Brooklyn cries
Expresses his emotions through crying, like the girl from Brooklyn
And their both just a mile apart
Both individuals are geographically close, but emotionally distant
Just streets away from a kindred heart
They share a commonality in their emotional struggles
But they might as well
Despite their proximity, emotional distance makes them seem far apart
Be an ocean between them
Emphasizes the emotional gap between the two
There might as well
Reiterates the significant emotional distance
Be an ocean between them
Highlights the emotional separation between them
You and me just can't relate
Generalizes a difficulty in relating emotionally
We got love given on a plate
Suggests love is easily available
Is it love or is it fate
Poses a question about whether their connection is love or fate
Were not alone
Contrasts with earlier lines, asserting they are not truly alone
Same girl in the sunshine
Same girl, now in the sunshine, possibly happier
Such a perfect shape
Describes her as having a perfect shape
And he can't talk, he just passed again
Indicates a lack of communication, possibly due to shyness
She walks alone don't ask me why
She walks alone, echoing the earlier theme of solitude
This kid from Brooklyn cries
The Brooklyn kid cries again, possibly due to the girl's unattainability
Same boy doing cell time
Same boy facing consequences, possibly legal
Hanging his head, Pickup didn't go quiet as planned
His pickup didn't go as planned, leading to disappointment
He feels alone don't ask me why
He feels alone without a specified reason
This kid from Brooklyn cries
Expresses his emotions through crying, mirroring the girl and earlier boy
And their both just a mile apart
Repeats the idea of physical proximity but emotional distance
Just streets away from a kindred heart
Despite being close, they share similar emotional struggles
But they might as well
Reiterates the emotional gap, likening it to an ocean
Be an ocean between them
Emphasizes the substantial emotional separation between them
Yes there might as well
Repeats the idea of a significant emotional distance
Be an ocean between them
Concludes with the persistent emotional gap between the two
