Let's Write the Streets
Hundreds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see your eyes
I am all alone
It is clear we'll fall from grace
we cannot walk away
away from each other.
Medicate my heart
its just wrong we stay.
the coldest part has come.
We built a perfect place
and pictured each other.
We are whitest sheets
Let's write the streets
Could you sit with me?
Under the icicles
Give me your trembling hands
I don't wear kid gloves
This darkness is complete
Please don't say a word
Oh we will stumble
but that's the way we walk.
Please tell me everything
and maybe in the end
we 'll even have lost the fear.
We are whitest sheets
Lets write the streets
The streets, the streets, the streets, the streets, the streets, the streets, the streets...
I tried
I tried
To walk alone
The lyrics for Hundreds' song "Let's Write the Streets" are poetic and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and acceptance. The opening verse sets a reflective tone, as the singer finds herself alone and acknowledging the inevitability of falling from grace. The second verse shifts to a sense of mutual dependence, as both the singer and her partner medicate each other's hearts, despite knowing that it's wrong to stay together. The chorus, "We are whitest sheets / Let's write the streets," suggests a desire to create something beautiful and meaningful out of their troubled relationship, while accepting the reality of the streets and the challenges they pose.
The second half of the song continues with an exploration of the dark aspects of love, as the singer asks her partner to sit with her in the darkness and shares her fear of stumbling along the way. However, there is also a sense of hope and possibility, as she encourages her partner to share everything and suggests that they may be able to overcome their fears together. The repetition of "the streets" at the end of the song reinforces the idea that life's challenges are ever-present, but also invites us to explore them and find meaning in them.
