Lyrics

I want to run, I want to hide

I have a desire to escape, to run away.

I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside

I want to break down the emotional barriers confining me.

I wanna reach out and touch the flame

I wish to experience intense and risky emotions.

Where the streets have no name, ha, ha, ha

Desire to be in a place without social divisions or labels, expressed with laughter.


I wanna feel sunlight on my face

Desire for warmth and positivity on my face.

I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace

Observing problems disappearing completely.

I wanna take shelter from the poison rain

Desire for protection from negativity.

Where the streets have no name, oh, oh

Yearning for a place without societal labels, expressed with laughter.


Where the streets have no name

Repeated expression of the desire for a place without social divisions.

Where the streets have no name

-

We're still building then burning down love

Reference to the cycle of building and destroying love.

Burning down love

-

And when I go there, I go there with you

When reaching that place, I go there with a significant other.

It's all I can do

Expressing limited capability, perhaps in the face of challenges.


The city's a flood

Metaphorical description of the city flooded with challenges.

And our love turns to rust

Love deteriorating and becoming corroded.

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Symbolic representation of facing hardships and challenges.

Trampled in dust

-

I'll show you a place

Offering to reveal a special place.

High on the desert plain, yeah

Describing a location elevated on a desert plain.

Where the streets have no name, oh, oh

Reiterating the desire for a place without social labels.


Where the streets have no name

Repetition of the desire for a place without social divisions.

Where the streets have no name

-

We're still building then burning down love

Reference to the cycle of building and destroying love.

Burning down love

-

And when I go there, I go there with you

When reaching that place, I go there with a significant other.

It's all I can do

Expressing limited capability, perhaps in the face of challenges.


Our love turns to rust

Love deteriorating and becoming corroded.

We're beaten and blown by the wind

Symbolic representation of facing hardships and challenges.

Blown by the wind

-

Oh, and I see love

Observing the transformation of love into decay.

See our love turn to rust

Expressing the impact of challenges on love.

Oh, we're beaten and blown by the wind

Symbolic representation of facing hardships and challenges.

Blown by the wind

-

Oh, when I go there

Expressing the act of reaching the desired place.

I go there with you

When reaching that place, I go there with a significant other, with limited capability.

It's all I can do
