Streets
Abby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These streets are built on solid ground, the memories in my mind
The story of special times that follow special lines
I’ve grown accustomed to your face the shadows and the light
And every street looks different when the colours are so bright

And if you want you can join me quietly

I carry you home on my back
All the way to you on the fastest track
We can run we can walk we can see when the dark sets in
And then I wave goodbye and I know I'll see you again

All I say to be sure
you took me by surprise
Never thought we'd share a mile and sometimes a disguise
A special bond built on trust the courage to climb hills
A place so far away from here with a certain thrill

And if you want you can join me quietly

I carry you home on my back
All the way to you on the fastest track
We can run we can walk we can see when the dark sets in
And then I wave goodbye and I know I'll see you again

Now you know that I bring you home, you might stay longer before you go
now you know that I bring you home, you never have to walk on your own

I carry you home on my back
All the way to you on the fastest track




We can run we can walk we can see when the dark sets in
And then I wave goodbye and I know I'll see you again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Abby's song "Streets" are a beautiful depiction of the memories we have built throughout our lives, the people we have encountered, and the special bond we share with those closest to us. The first few lines describe how our memories are the foundation of the streets we walk on, symbolically representing the experiences that have shaped us.


The next few lines talk about how we grow accustomed to the people we love, seeing them in both the good and the bad, in moments of light and moments of shadows. Despite these ups and downs, the streets remain a constant, though their colours may change. This suggests that our memories and experiences are what keep us grounded, even when things change around us.


The chorus speaks to the unconditional love and support between friends or loved ones. Abby sings about carrying someone on her back, through all kinds of terrain, even when it gets dark. This imagery conjures up a feeling of safety and comfort, the sense that we are not alone, even when things get tough. This support is reinforced in the final lines, where Abby tells her friend that they never have to walk alone, emphasizing the strength of their bond.

Mich erinnert dieses Lied an so viel dass letztes Jahr passierte, und ich habe dieses gemischte Gefühl aus Nostalgie und Traurigkeit.
Ich fühle mich leer aber gleichzeitig so ausgefüllt, danke für dieses Meisterwerk!
