Ann Beretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside you know we're all alone, But we all need a place to go,
I seen it on the corners, And the avenues,
Outside you know we'll find a home.
When I sing a song about the city tonight, I leave the lights behind,
You know it's lost inside, And you know I'm right, I leave the city behind.
Outside in the streets below, I've seen it in the faces,
But we all need a place to go, I seen it on the corners and the avenues,
Outside you know I'll find a home. We're running down Broadway,
And there's no place I'd rather be,
When I sing a song about the city tonight, I leave the lights behind,
You know it's lost inside, And you know I'm right,
And inside you know I'm right, I leave the city behind.
We're running down Broadway, And there's no place I'd rather be,
When I sing a song about the city tonight,
I leave the lights behind, You know it's lost inside,
And you know I'm right, And inside you know I'm right,
I leave the city behind, Behind, Behind, Behind.
The song "Broadway" by Ann Beretta talks about the contrast between the outside world full of chaos and the peace and comfort that comes from a place called home. The lyrics start by describing the view of the city from outside, where people are seen moving, and the busy streets are never empty. Then the focus shifts inside of a house where the singer is, admitting that they are all alone. Nevertheless, as human beings, we all need a place to call home, and it can be found on every corner or avenue in the city.
The chorus, "When I sing a song about the city tonight, I leave the lights behind, You know it's lost inside, And you know I'm right, I leave the city behind," suggests that the singer finds solace in music, which helps them forget the chaos that surrounds them daily in the city. They leave the hustle and bustle outside and enter their own world of melody, where they can be immersed in their thoughts and feelings. The song ends by repeating the chorus, emphasizing the desire to leave behind the chaos and lose oneself in music.
