Streets
Moonrunner83 Lyrics

Moonrunner83's song "Streets" paints a bleak picture of a desolate and destroyed world where the aftermath of a catastrophic event has left the streets and buildings empty and lifeless. The opening lines, "Clouds dull the sky in muddy light, Ashes rain" describes the dark and dreary atmosphere that pervades the landscape. The use of the word "muddy" suggests that the world has been left in disarray, while "ashes rain" conjures images of a somber and ashy environment, perhaps resulting from some catastrophic event.

The following lines, "A silence blanketing the steel, We’ll never be the same," imply that the silence is a result of destruction as the steel, which could refer to buildings or machines, has been blanketed in this silence. The words "We'll never be the same" highlights a sense of loss and grief that is pervasive throughout the song. The line conveys that the destructive event has left a profound impact and things will never be like they used to be.

The chorus "Wander the streets with other ghosts, Remember how it used to be? The earth a broken hollow shell, It’s torn like you and me" has a haunting quality to it as it speaks of wandering through the deserted streets with other "ghosts." The use of the word "ghosts" suggests that the people are no longer living but rather wandering aimlessly in this empty and lifeless world. The theme of loss and reflection continues in the next lines which describe the earth as a "broken hollow shell" that is "torn like you and me," further emphasizing the sense of loss and destruction that is omnipresent in the song.
