In the streets
Bears of Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are two little boys down in the streets.
They are playing on a garbage bin of steel.
One will always have that something that he needs
and the other could be me.
And it's a dream.
They are speaking loud of freedom in the street.
There are children, there are grandmas, and there is me.
They are growing peace in me.
And on the screen,
They are spitting words that sound like fireworks
While we're singing songs of wisdom in the streets.
We are stupid, we are brilliant and we are young.
We are gold and we are old.
We are gold and we are old.
The lyrics of Bears of Legend's song "In the Streets" portray a vivid image of people taking to the streets in protest, and the unity and hope that comes with it. The opening lines depict two little boys, playing on a garbage bin of steel, representing the innocence of youth and the potential for change they possess. One of them always has "that something that he needs," perhaps alluding to the kind of courage and conviction required to fuel a movement for change, while the other could be anyone, potentially the listener, who has yet to find that spark within themselves.
The second verse speaks of how this dream of freedom and unity has grown from just two people to a movement that encompasses thousands, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together for a common cause. From children to grandmas, everyone is a part of this movement, and it serves as a source of hope and inspiration for the singer ("they are growing peace in me").
The final verse mentions how while the media may try to distract and divide us with their sensationalist rhetoric, the people in the streets are "singing songs of wisdom," and possess a collective intelligence that far surpasses any individual. They are both stupid and brilliant, young and old, and ultimately united in their pursuit of a better world ("We are gold and we are old").
Overall, the lyrics of "In the Streets" capture the sense of camaraderie and hope that comes with protesting for change, and emphasize the importance of unity and community in achieving a common goal.

Laisse moi croire.
Laisse moi couper mes cheveux.
Laissez-moi être l'homme que je mérite.
Laisse-moi faire semblant.
Laisse-moi porter mes chaussures.
Laissez-moi faire des erreurs en cours de route.
Me laisserais-tu raconter mes histoires de courage sans crainte?
Laissez-moi être une chorale pour étendre ma voix, une tour pour être grand pour
une fois, un fleuve sans fin me déroute.
Mon amour, nous sommes si perdus maintenant.
Cette peur grandit en moi.
Laissez-moi partir.
Laissez-moi quitter ce rivage, je reviendrai avec les réponses
que je cherche.
Laisse moi accepter.
Permettez-moi de faire de mon mieux et peut-être jeter le poids qui est sur mon
poitrine.
Me laisserais-tu raconter mes histoires de courage sans crainte?
Laissez-moi être une chorale pour étendre ma voix, une tour pour être grand pour
une fois, un fleuve sans fin me déroute.
Mon amour, nous sommes si perdus maintenant.
Cette peur grandit à l'intérieur de mon corps.
Attends, mon amour, nous sommes si perdus maintenant.
Cette peur grandit en moi.
Non, il n'y a pas de retour.
Non, il n'y a pas de nouveau départ.
Mais nous pouvons, oui, nous pouvons être qui nous avons toujours rêvé d'être
à la fin.
