These Streets
Lost Souls in Concrete Jungle: The Struggle of These Streets
Lyrics
What is it he should do
Questioning what actions are appropriate or necessary.
What is it he should do
Reiteration of the uncertainty or dilemma about what to do.
He's lived through each day
The individual has experienced each day.
With out words to say
Struggling with an inability to express oneself verbally.
These empty pockets are nothing new
Having empty pockets, likely symbolizing lack of resources or poverty.
Losing his mind
Feeling mentally disoriented or confused.
In this age and time
Experiencing this feeling in the current era.
What is a boy to do?
Pondering what options are available to a young person.
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
Walking through life's challenges without basic necessities.
All he can do is lose
Feeling like losing is the only outcome.
What to do
A continuation of the uncertainty about what actions to take.
Too many words to say
Overwhelmed by numerous things to express or communicate.
Too many words to say
Reiteration of the struggle with the abundance of unspoken words.
So many people in this town
Many individuals present, but a sense of isolation or loneliness.
But there's no one around
A paradoxical situation where people are physically present but emotionally absent.
These empty pockets are nothing new
Continued reference to having no money or resources.
Losing his mind
Struggling with mental stability in the present time.
In this age and time
Continuing the struggle within the context of the modern era.
What is a boy to do?
Questioning the available choices for a young individual.
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
Living through hardships without even basic necessities.
All he can do is lose
Feeling as though losing is the only outcome or option.
What is it he should do
Reiteration of the initial question about what actions are appropriate or necessary.
What is it he should do
Continued uncertainty or dilemma about what to do.
He's lived through each day
Having experienced each day without clear expression.
With out words to say
Struggling with the inability to articulate thoughts or feelings.
These empty pockets are nothing new
Repetition of the lack of financial resources or means.
Losing his mind
Struggling mentally within the context of the current era.
In this age and time
Experiencing mental distress in the present age.
What is a boy to do?
Questioning available options for a young person.
Walking these streets with no shoes on his feet
Continuing to face life's challenges without basic necessities.
All he can do is lose
Feeling like losing is the only possible outcome.
What to do
A final expression of uncertainty or contemplation about the right course of action.
