Streets We're Born In
FRONTEERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't explain.
Take me to a distant time,
and another place.
Tomorrow i'll be gone,
without a trace
ohh.
if i tell you when.
The streets in which we're born in
you'll find me there.
I got lost in someones eyes
and never found.
Sing me lullabys
that make's no sound.
Tomorrow i'll be free,
so hold me down.
ohh
Come find me in the morning,
if i tell you when.
The streets in which we're born in
you'll find me there.
It gets cold at night,
and it's as if i watch the darkness tuning into ice.
And it feels so nice,
just to take a step above this winter solstice life.
Come find me in the morning,
if i tell you when.
The streets in which we're born in
you'll find me there.
Come find me in the morning,
if i tell you when.
The streets in which we're born in
you'll find me there.
The lyrics of "Streets We're Born In" by FRONTEERS depict a person who is struggling with their own thoughts and feelings. The first stanza talks about how the person feels a disconnect within themselves that they cannot explain. They long to escape the present and go back to a simpler time and place. The second stanza echoes this same sentiment, with the person expressing a sense of being lost and unable to find their way back. They long for someone to comfort them and sing them songs that will ease their troubled mind. The chorus throughout the song repeatedly invites the listener to come find them in the morning, and that they will be waiting in the streets where they were born.
The bridge of the song switches the tone slightly, as the person describes the coldness of the night and the winter solstice. They seem to be reflecting upon the idea that even though everything outside may be freezing over, it can still be a beautiful and refreshing experience. The overall message of the song seems to be one of nostalgia, yearning for simpler times, and wanting to connect with a familiar location and with others. The listener can hear the depth of emotion in the lyrics, and can feel the sense of longing that comes through in the words.
