Traffic Lights
Lyrics for Monday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From all the train wrecks, we're closer to home
Than we realized, can you imagine that
From all the times, that we had conflicts
We'd always come on back, we'd always come on back
Wait for me, I'm on a roadtrip
When you're in doubt, just give a shout
And turn around, you'll see me standing there
Waiting, calling your name
Falling, falling for you
Speed it up, speed it up, they're only wasting our time
Come on out, come on out, we're gonna make things rhyme
In our life, in this run, in our motions
Don't mind, don't cry, don't stop at the lights
We're gonna run, we're gonna run, run them all this time
Never look back, making a comeback
There's a car crash, in the corner of the street
Glad it wasn't me, I think I'll just go leave
Cause ignorance, is the latest fashion
The oldest trend, the new attraction
Hello my lady, will you come join me
In the backseat, let's go and warm it up
With our body heat, come on you and me
We're gonna make them believe, we're gonna make them leave
Speed it up, speed it up, they're only wasting our time
Come on out, come on out, we're gonna make things rhyme
In our life, in this run, in our motions
Don't mind, don't cry, don't stop at the lights
We're gonna run, we're gonna run, run them all this time
Never look back, making a comeback
Doctor, doctor
Why can't you prescribe me
A life better than this?
Indeed, I am in dire need
They sent me away, they led me astray
I'm so far away, I'm gonna run away
Come on sweetheart, come back to me
Speed it up, speed it up, they're only wasting our time
Come on out, come on out, we're gonna make things rhyme
In our life, in this run, in our motions
Don't mind, don't cry, don't stop at the lights
We're gonna run, we're gonna run, run them all this time
Never look back, making a comeback
The song "Traffic Lights" by Monday begins with the line "Some people just want to watch the world burn," which is a reference to a quote by Alfred from the Batman movie "The Dark Knight." From here, the lyrics are about a road trip that the singer is on and the complications that arise during the journey. The line "From all the train wrecks, we're closer to home than we realized" suggests that the singer and their companions have encountered several obstacles along the way, but have come to a realization about their own lives in the process.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need to keep moving forward and not let anything hinder progress. The lines "Don't mind, don't cry, don't stop at the lights" are a call to action to keep pushing through despite any setbacks. The phrase "making a comeback" suggests that the singer has been knocked down before, but is determined to get back up and keep going.
The second half of the song takes a darker turn with the reference to a car crash and the idea of ignorance being the latest fashion. The chorus becomes more urgent with the repetition of "we're gonna run, we're gonna run, run them all this time" suggesting that the singer is trying to outrun the problems they are facing.
Overall, "Traffic Lights" seems to be a song about the ups and downs of life and the determination to keep moving forward despite any setbacks. It touches on themes of self-discovery, perseverance, and the importance of keeping a positive attitude.

Lyrics if you prefer comments:
I-65
your hand on my leg while your other hand drives
you’d glance to the side
I’d tell you to focus, you’d swerve to the right
that’s how it used to be
you’d look at me before you turn the key
but now i can’t help but think
that maybe you fell out of love with me
cause you keep your eyes on the road
both hands on the wheel
you never let go
you don’t like to talk to me when
your foots on the gas
say you’re focusing
i wish we would stop at a red and you’d turn to say you love me again
but you keep your eyes on the road
no matter what color the traffic lights glow
i used to hope
all the lights would be red or yellow
now i hope for green
so i can pretend that’s why you ignore me
you don’t wanna talk
when i get in you turn the music up
but i still buckle up
i’m holding on but i think that you’re done
cause you keep your eyes on the road
both hands on the wheel
you never let go
you don’t like to talk to me when
your foots on the gas
say you’re focusing
i wish we would stop at a red and you’d turn to say you love me again
but you keep your eyes on the road
no matter what color the traffic lights glow
every time that you pull up in the drive
i get in your car and think is this the last time
i’m holding my breath in the passenger side
your safe driving has me scared for my life
cause you keep your eyes on the road
both hands on the wheel
you never let go
you don’t like to talk to me when
your foots on the gas
say you’re focusing
i wish we would stop at a red and you’d turn to say you love me again
but you keep your eyes on the road
no matter what color the traffic lights glow
No matter what color the traffic lights glow
No matter what color the traffic lights glow
