In The Streets
Greyfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glass shattering before our eyes
Kids are chanting in streets
We gotta give them what they want
So we're rockin in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
Okay so where's the party at
Cause we're ready to unwind
Come on now and show us a good time
And we'll promise to be back soon
Yeah we're in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
We're gonna rock this crowd
Yeah we're in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
We're gonna rock this town
The rains comin down and lightning strikes
Everyone's clearing out
But your still down in front
I'm lost in you I'm lost in you tonight
The rains comin down and lightning strikes
Everyones clearing out
But your still down in front
I'm lost in you I'm lost in you tonight
So we're rockin in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
We're gonna rock this town
Yeah we're in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
We're gonna rock this crowd
Yeah we're in the streets
Everyone's dancin to the beat
Music's up way too loud tonight
We're gonna rock this town
The lyrics of "In the Streets" by Greyfield describes a chaotic and eventful night in the city where the streets are filled with noise, glass shattering, and kids chanting. The singer is fully embracing the energy of the moment by dancing and rocking out to the music that's playing in the streets. They are searching for a party to join and looking for a good time with the promise of returning soon. The song also describes a moment when the storm hits and people start clearing out, but the singer is still down in front, lost in the moment.
The overall tone of the song is an expression of freedom and the need to escape from the monotony of life. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it’s necessary to be a little wild and reckless to feel alive. The idea of “rocking” the crowd and the town is a metaphor for being daring and unconventional, and taking risks to enjoy the moment. The stormy weather towards the end is a symbol of the chaos that could unfold when letting go of control and embracing the unpredictability of life.
