Lyrics
Under city lights
Under the influence of urban surroundings
You got mesmerized
Captivated or fascinated
You forgot where you are from
Lost sight of your origin or hometown
And who you are
Lost identity or sense of self
Such a tragedy
A sorrowful event or situation
You were young and free
During a time when you were young and carefree
Did you ever think
Contemplating the unforeseen fall from grace
That you'd fall so far
A realization of a significant decline
Turn it on tonight
Activate something crucial tonight
Carolina
Referring to a person or place named Carolina
Till the morning light
Continue the activation until the morning
Carolina
Continue the activation, repeating the name
I remember when
Recalling a time when you were pure and untainted
You were innocent
Reflecting on innocence from the past
I remember what you were
Recollection of a previous state or condition
My dirty rose
Endearing term for someone special but tarnished
Never happy now
Currently discontent or dissatisfied
You're just selling out
Compromising principles for success
Easy street is drenched in tears
Prosperity comes with challenges and hardships
You know it's never paved in gold
Wealth or success is not easily achieved
Turn it on tonight
Reiterate the need for activation tonight
Carolina
Referring to a person or place named Carolina
Till the morning light
Continue the activation until the morning
Carolina
Repeat the activation, emphasizing the name
Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Temporarily conceal personal secrets
Just leave your dirty little secrets for a while
Reiteration of hiding personal secrets
Let me make it alright
Offering reassurance to make things right
Turn it on tonight
Reiterate the need for activation tonight
Carolina
Referring to a person or place named Carolina
Till the morning light
Continue the activation until the morning
Carolina
Repeat the activation, emphasizing the name
Turn it on tonight
Reiterate the need for activation tonight
Carolina
Referring to a person or place named Carolina
Till the morning light
Continue the activation until the morning
Carolina
Repeat the activation, emphasizing the name
