Streets
Adrian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red flag reaches it way down
I climb the ladder that views the town
Constable glares up at me and says
Son you're gonna go to hell for free

Visions of the area surround me
Opening the truth of the land impounding
When a loving arm tightens the belt
The red taped landscape failures are felt

The apothecary is wary
So need to tarry
Fumes waft into cesspools
Lavishness fuels the fools
When did the job of the baker become a needed caretaker
The red flag changes course galloping away like a horse
cnd that's when i follow suit, view the problem from its roots
Extinction in the commissary but don't you worry for its complimentary

Failed experiments on display
Go back in your own way

Might as well come along
Through time all in all is wronged




Echoes ring out from a well
Better hope your wishing was well!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Streets" by Adrian paints a vivid picture of a town filled with turmoil and corruption. The mention of a red flag reaching its way down signifies danger or warning, perhaps indicating the presence of deceit or wrongdoing in the town. As the singer climbs a ladder to view the town, a constable confronts them and warns them about the consequences of their actions, implying that the path they are taking will lead them to hell.


The next stanza describes the singer being surrounded by visions of the area, which opens their eyes to the truth of the land being oppressed or controlled. The presence of a loving arm tightening a belt symbolizes a figurative restraint or suppression caused by those in power. The failures and limitations of the landscape become evident due to bureaucratic red tape.


The third stanza mentions the apothecary being wary, indicating suspicion or caution. The fumes wafting into cesspools and lavishness fueling fools suggests that the immoral actions and excessive indulgence of the powerful are polluting the town. The line about the job of the baker becoming a needed caretaker reflects a shift in societal expectations and responsibilities. However, as the red flag changes course and gallops away, the singer decides to follow suit and confront the problem at its roots. There's a mention of extinction in the commissary, possibly alluding to the downfall or end of the corrupt system, with a reassurance that there is no need to worry because it will be complimentary.


The final lines bring attention to failed experiments on display, perhaps hinting at the consequences of the town's corrupt actions being exposed. The invitation to "go back in your own way" suggests a chance for individuals to reassess their choices and make amends. The mention of echoes ringing out from a well serves as a reminder that what one wishes for may not bring the desired outcome, and it is better to be cautious about the consequences of their actions.


Overall, "Streets" reflects on a town plagued by corruption, where the singer becomes aware of the injustices and tries to confront them, acknowledging that change must come from within.

Overall, everything has been corrupted over time


Echoes ring out from a well
Sounds reverberate loudly from a deep source


Better hope your wishing was well!
You should pray that your desires were made with good intentions
