Bring It Back To The Streets
Rediscovering Lost Heroes Through Streets
Lyrics
When there was a sickness, there was a cure
Reflecting on a time when problems had solutions.
Right outside on the streets at the record store
Highlighting a place, the streets, and a record store where cultural influences were accessible.
There once were heroes that we looked up to
Remembering past figures or role models.
We never thought that we would do the things that they'd do
Acknowledging unexpected actions inspired by those role models.
Their presence is long gone
Expressing the absence of these influential figures.
Disconnected from the world that we grew up on
Feeling disconnected from the past world due to the absence of influences.
Nothing will ever make as much of an impact
Emphasizing the irreplaceable impact of past influences.
When you hear these words, will they make you react?
Questioning the listener's response to these words and their ability to evoke emotions.
When there was a sickness, there was a cure
Reiterating the theme of sickness and cure.
Right outside on the streets at the record store
Revisiting the streets and the record store as a symbol of cultural connection.
There once were heroes that we looked up to
Recalling admiration for past heroes or role models.
We never thought that we would do the things that they'd do
Reflecting on unexpected actions inspired by those role models.

This generation has gone up in flames

Because with all hope gone there is no cause for a change
