Cruising Down the Street
C.J. Luckey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life's so easy
When you see things
That no one else can see
Truth be told
When you're shiverin' alone
You have no home, you are unknown

When jealousy is all you see
You've got nothin' to give, or a reason to live
So head up then
Make some sense
This end, it isn't the end

Hold me close
Cleanse my soul
No one'll know just don't let me go
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you don't cry
Change is part of me
And change is trustworthy




Time stand still
For me

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of C.J. Luckey's song "Cruising Down the Street," the first verse starts by expressing how life can feel effortless when you are able to perceive things that others might not see. This could refer to having a unique perspective or deeper understanding of the world around you, allowing you to navigate life more easily. However, the following lines touch upon the loneliness and feeling of being unknown when faced with challenges, emphasizing the vulnerability and isolation that can come with personal struggles.


The next part of the song talks about the destructive power of jealousy, portraying it as a force that can consume you and leave you feeling empty and purposeless. The lyrics suggest that when jealousy takes over, it can strip away your ability to give or find meaning in life. It's a poignant reflection on how comparison and envy can erode one's sense of self and purpose, reinforcing the importance of rising above such negative emotions.


As the song progresses, there is a shift towards seeking clarity and making sense of the turmoil within. The line "This end, it isn't the end" implies a message of hope and renewal, encouraging the listener to persevere through difficult times and find a way forward. It suggests that every setback or hardship is not the final chapter, hinting at the possibility of growth and change even in the darkest moments.


The closing lines of the song bring a sense of solace and comfort, as the singer asks to be held close and have their soul cleansed. This plea for emotional support and understanding conveys a longing for connection and reassurance in the face of uncertainty. The mention of change being a fundamental part of life and something reliable further underscores the theme of resilience and adaptability. The final line, "Time stand still for me," can be interpreted as a desire for a moment of respite or peace amidst the challenges and upheavals of life.
