Red Light Song
Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She said, "I think it's time for winter
And the trains are all here"
I think, I smell a change in seasons
I think the time for change is near

You say that we have no feelings
We feel like we are her for hire
You packed it up and then you left me
It seems your plan has back fired

Follow me in the soft parade
You don't have to learn today
And you're still lyin' there in your daze
Well, I'll ask the red lights, if you can stay

I see the red lights over Denton town
I see them flashin' all around
I hope we never lose this feelin'
I hope we're never comin' down

Follow me in the soft parade
You don't have to learn today
And you're still lyin' there in your daze
Well, I'll ask the red lights, if you can stay

Follow me in the soft parade
You don't have to learn today
And you're still lyin' there in your daze
Well, I'll ask the red lights, if you can stay

Follow me in the soft parade
You don't have to learn today




And you're still lyin' there in your daze
Well, I'll ask the red lights, if you can stay

Overall Meaning

The song "Red Light Song" by Blue seems to be about a changing season and an impending sense of change. The opening lines suggest a woman who is ready for winter, with the implication being that the cold and darkness are bearing down, and trains are arriving to take her to some new, unknown destination. The singer then says that he senses that change is coming, and the time for it is near.


The next few lines suggest that the singer and his partner have had a difficult relationship, perhaps one where they have felt used or taken for granted. The partner has left the singer, thinking they could move on without consequences, but things have not gone as planned, and the plan has "backfired."


The song continues with the singer imploring his partner to follow him and not worry about learning something new right away. Interestingly, the chorus references the red lights in Denton town, with the singer hoping they never lose the feeling of being there and never coming down. The repeated chorus is a kind of mantra, reaffirming the desire to stay in this moment and not let the world outside intrude.

Actually Pharrel's first hit was on strippers and it looked very sleezy especially at the non censored version of the song. כ-28,600 תוצאות
