Headlights
Michele Grandinetti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, 'cause you always tryna get ahead of light
Baby, when you go
You know I'll be waiting on the other side
And I know it's cold
But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night
Don't be a fool for the city nights
Baby, with you I can never lie
Don't go chasing all the headlights
Oh, I could feel the beating of your heart ache drum
Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone
Every time you go
Hits me like a bullet from a golden gun
Yeah, I know it's cold
But if you stay then I could give you all my love
Don't be a fool for the city nights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby, with you I could never lie
So, don't go chasing all the headlights
Oh!
Don't be a fool for the city nights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby, with you I could never lie
So, don't go chasing all the headlights
The song "Headlights" by Michele Grandinetti is a love song that aims to convince someone to stay instead of constantly chasing after something that may never be attainable. The "headlights" in the song refer to the allure of the city and the fast-paced lifestyle that comes with it. The lyrics reveal that the person being sung to always tries to get ahead of the light, which signifies that they are always chasing after something elusive, hoping to catch up to it or even surpass it. The singer acknowledges that it may be exciting and cool, but warns against becoming a fool for the city nights and urges the person not to chase all the headlights.
The singer expresses his/her desire for the person to stay and not leave because every time they go, it feels like they are being shot by a bullet from a golden gun. This line could symbolize the pain the singer feels whenever the person leaves, and that the pain is as sharp as being shot with a weapon made of gold, which is a precious metal that connotes something valuable. The singer promises to keep the person warm at night and give them all his/her love if they choose to stay.
Overall, the song conveys a message that sometimes what we are looking for is right in front of us, and we should not be blinded by the allure of chasing after something that may not be worth the effort.
