Streets We Knew
Urban Dystopia Unveiled: Streets We Knew Revelations
Lyrics
Streets we knew
Reflecting on familiar streets from the past
Fake blood dripping all over the streets we knew
Imagery of fake blood symbolizing deception and betrayal on those familiar streets
Dudes pinching on your jacket
People stealing or trying to take something valuable from you
'Cause they thought it was cool
People imitating or admiring something, thinking it's fashionable
Get away, get away
Escaping or avoiding the negative influences of the past
Oh if only you knew
Expressing a wish for others to understand the complexities of the past
If only you knew
Repetition emphasizing the desire for understanding
Streets we knew
Revisiting familiar streets with a sense of disorder and decay
Future mourners so disordered on the streets we knew
Anticipating future mourners in a disordered environment
See someone I know and try to stop them
Recognizing someone familiar and attempting to interact
Thought it was you
Mistaking someone for another, possibly someone significant from the past
Get away, get away
Seeking to avoid a negative encounter
Oh if only you knew
Expressing a wish for deeper understanding in the face of confusion
If only you knew
Repetition emphasizing the desire for understanding
To the east, over cars
Referencing a direction (east) and the challenges faced
To the east, not too far
Continuation of challenges to the east, not too far away
To the west, so confused
Confusion or uncertainty in the western direction
To the west, time to lose
Indicating a need to move on or let go in the western direction
Streets we knew
Revisiting familiar streets, holding keys, possibly symbolizing access or control
Gripping keys in pockets near the very street I knew
Describing the surroundings near a specific street from the past
Naked fingers, pre-war buttons pressing
Details of a moment involving naked fingers and pre-war buttons, possibly nostalgia
Hope it was you
Expressing hope and anticipation that someone significant from the past is present
Come to stay, come to stay
Wishing for someone to stay, possibly reflecting a desire for permanence
Oh if only you knew
Expressing a wish for others to understand the complexities of the past
If only you knew
Repetition emphasizing the desire for understanding
If only you knew
Repetition intensifying the yearning for understanding
If only you knew
-If only you knew
-If only you knew
-To the east, over cars
Referencing challenges to the east over cars
To the east, not too far
Continuation of challenges to the east, not too far away
To the west, so confused
Confusion or uncertainty in the western direction
To the west, time to lose
Indicating a need to move on or let go in the western direction
