Street Names
Navigating Life's Urban Maze: Street Names by Quentin Johnston
Lyrics
People rushing past the street lights
Observing the hurried pace of people passing under street lights.
Chasing daydreams until midnight
Pursuing dreams until midnight, implying a relentless chase.
I'm watching on the sidewalk wondering what it's all for
Contemplating life's purpose while standing on the sidewalk.
Walking without navigation
Walking aimlessly, lacking a clear path or direction.
Searching for my destination
Seeking a destination without a clear route or guidance.
Well, I can't help but feel that I have been here before
Feeling a sense of déjà vu or repetition in experiences.
And I don't know how I made it through this year
Reflecting on overcoming challenges throughout the year.
But somehow I did, now where do I go from here
Expressing uncertainty about the next steps after overcoming challenges.
Tell me
Pleading for guidance or advice from someone.
Somebody out there just tell me
Desiring direction or advice regarding the path to take.
To keep on moving down this way or that way
Seeking guidance on whether to continue in the current direction or choose another path.
'Cause lately
Expressing recent struggles with faith or belief.
My faith hasn't been steady
Acknowledging a wavering or unsteady faith.
And getting lost in the busy city
Feeling disoriented and lost in the bustling city environment.
Only having numbers for the street names
Reliance on numerical values rather than meaningful names for navigation.
Caught in modern architecture
Trapped in contemporary urban design or lifestyle.
Searching for that greener pasture
Searching for a better life or situation, symbolized by a "greener pasture."
No matter where I look I can't find the sign of a spire
Unable to find clear indications or signs of improvement.
Wandering roads of non-description
Wandering through undefined paths without clear characteristics.
I can't trust my intuition
Distrust in personal intuition or instincts.
I'm blown around by every wind of my own desire
Being swayed by personal desires, susceptible to external influences.
So I don't know how I'll make it through this year
Uncertainty about navigating through the upcoming year.
But somehow I will and finally leave from here
Expressing determination to overcome challenges and move forward.
Tell me
Reiterating the plea for guidance or advice.
Somebody out there just tell me
Seeking reassurance or direction from others.
To keep on moving down this way or that way
Requesting guidance on the choice of direction to take.
'Cause lately
Reaffirming recent struggles with faith or belief.
My faith hasn't been steady
Acknowledging the inconsistency or instability of faith.
And getting lost in the busy city
Feeling lost in the busy city environment with only numerical references for navigation.
Only having numbers for the street names
Emphasizing the reliance on numbers rather than meaningful names for navigation in the city.
