Can You Feel It
Mr Reds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the people sing and play
Where the dancing is elite
And there's music in the street
Both night and day
Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras
In the city of my dreams
You can wear your summer clothes
In the New Orleans
And I will lay my burden down
Rest my head upon that shore
And when I wear that starry crown
I won't be wanting anymore
Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras
Let the music wash your soul (let it wash your soul)
You can mingle in the street
You can jingle to the beat
Of Jelly Roll
Toomba, toomba, toomba, Mardi Gras
Toomba, toomba, toomba, hey
Hey
The lyrics to Mr Reds vs DJ Skribble's song "Can U Feel It" are about the excitement and energy of Mardi Gras, particularly in New Orleans. The verse opens with the request to "Take me to the Mardi Gras." The lyricist is eager to be transported to a place where people are singing and playing, dancing is elite, and music fills the streets both day and night. This is not just any location, but "the city of my dreams."
The second verse highlights the sense of freedom and acceptance that one can experience at Mardi Gras. The phrase "legalize your lows" suggests that people can let loose and indulge in vices that may not be permitted in their daily lives. The mention of "summer clothes" further points to the idea of letting go of restrictions and inhibitions.
The chorus speaks to the transformative power of music and the experience of Mardi Gras. The lyricist encourages listeners to "take your burdens to the Mardi Gras" and let the music wash their souls.
