Subtitles
Neon Hitch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to keep you by my side
Every time you said goodbye, it's salt in my eyes
All black if you'll turn your back
I hate the way that people say we overreact

You're my Clyde and I'm your Bonnie
Our life is a movie
Don't need cameras, don't need lights
‘Cause we always will be there

Don't speak, I know you love me
When I'm lying beside you
We don't need no subtitles
You make my body weak
Oh, it's about to get wild
We don't need no subtitles

Don't have to spell it out
I feel you clearer now
‘Cause we don't need no subtitles
This time I've seen it all inside my crystal ball
And we don't need no subtitles

Two hearts, we beat in the dark
Like Marilyn and Kennedy, can't keep us apart

You're my Clyde and I'm your Bonnie
Our life is a movie
Don't need cameras, don't need lights
‘Cause we always will be there

Don't speak, I know you love me
When I'm lying beside you
We don't need no subtitles
You make my body weak
Oh, it's about to get wild
We don't need no subtitles

Don't have to spell it out
I feel you clearer now
‘Cause we don't need no subtitles
This time I've seen it all inside my crystal ball
And we don't need no subtitles

Black and white film, crying at the morbid scenes
She's Norma Gene normally having enormous dreams
Two lovers who hardly talk to each other
The lust speaks louder than words, like a silent movie
And more gangsta flicks, that real gangsta shit
Got a sidekick gypsy chick robbing banks and shit
Wanna hit that? My baby girl, she gets that
She gets cash then gets back, money stashed in her head wrap
You and me? We should probably slide
Like Bonnie and Clyde hot on an anonymous ride
I got a fully loaded Tommy inside for the red light
‘Cause I'd rather be dead wrong rather than dead, right?
She always wanted to journey the world far
So she left town with a movie star
I guess she always fell for the bad boys even though he cheats a lot
‘Cause love isn't really love till you bleed a lot
He say come on, it'll be so fun, the next train leaves at 3:01
But that's for me, yo, I didn't get inside
I found a rickshaw to lean on, put my knee on it and hitched a ride
Ay, ay, ay, lucky me, in fact, she died in her man's arms when that train crashed
So maybe there is beauty in tragedy like Neverland
But what's the point in paradise when no one's there to share it with?

Don't speak, I know you love me
When I'm lying beside you
We don't need no subtitles
You make my body weak
Oh, it's about to get wild
We don't need no subtitles

Don't have to spell it out
I feel you clearer now
‘Cause we don't need no subtitles




This time I've seen it all inside my crystal ball
And we don't need no subtitles

Line by Line Meaning

I tried to keep you by my side
I did everything I could to make sure you stayed with me


Every time you said goodbye, it's salt in my eyes
Whenever you left, it hurt me deeply


All black if you'll turn your back
It feels like everything will be dark and hopeless if you leave me


I hate the way that people say we overreact
I don't like how others judge our relationship and think we are too dramatic


You're my Clyde and I'm your Bonnie
We're like the infamous outlaw couple, inseparable and wild


Our life is a movie
Our relationship is exciting and adventurous like a film


Don't need cameras, don't need lights
We don't need anyone else to capture our love story


‘Cause we always will be there
We will always be together no matter what


Don't speak, I know you love me
I don't need you to say it, I can feel your love for me


When I'm lying beside you
When we're together, close and intimate


We don't need no subtitles
Our love is so strong and clear, we don't need any explanations or translations


You make my body weak
You have a strong effect on me, both physically and emotionally


Oh, it's about to get wild
We're about to embark on something crazy and exciting


Don't have to spell it out
I don't need to explain anything to you


I feel you clearer now
I understand you better and can feel your love more deeply


This time I've seen it all inside my crystal ball
I can see our future together so clearly and it's beautiful


And we don't need no subtitles
Our love is strong enough without any explanations or translations


Two hearts, we beat in the dark
We're in love and connected even in the darkest times


Like Marilyn and Kennedy, can't keep us apart
Even though they were kept apart, we won't be separated


Black and white film, crying at the morbid scenes
We're like characters in a black and white movie, experiencing intense emotions


She's Norma Gene normally having enormous dreams
Norma Gene is Marilyn Monroe's real name, and she had big ambitions and dreams


Two lovers who hardly talk to each other
We don't need words to express our love, it goes beyond that


The lust speaks louder than words, like a silent movie
Our physical intimacy is so strong that it speaks for itself


And more gangsta flicks, that real gangsta shit
Our love is like something from a gangster movie, it's wild and intense


Got a sidekick gypsy chick robbing banks and shit
We're like outlaw partners, doing whatever it takes to stay together


Wanna hit that? My baby girl, she gets that
My partner is adventurous and daring, she's up for anything


You and me? We should probably slide
We should run away together and leave everything behind


Like Bonnie and Clyde hot on an anonymous ride
We're like the infamous couple on the run together


I got a fully loaded Tommy inside for the red light
I'm armed and dangerous, ready to protect us


‘Cause I'd rather be dead wrong rather than dead, right?
I'm willing to take risks to keep us together, even if it means risking my life


She always wanted to journey the world far
She had big dreams of traveling and exploring


So she left town with a movie star
She ran away with someone famous and glamorous


I guess she always fell for the bad boys even though he cheats a lot
She had a weakness for charming but unfaithful men


‘Cause love isn't really love till you bleed a lot
Love can be painful and messy, but it's still worth it


He say come on, it'll be so fun, the next train leaves at 3:01
He convinced her to leave with him on the next train, promising adventure


But that's for me, yo, I didn't get inside
I didn't go with her, I stayed behind


I found a rickshaw to lean on, put my knee on it and hitched a ride
I found a way to move on and keep going, despite the pain


Ay, ay, ay, lucky me, in fact, she died in her man's arms when that train crashed
I was fortunate in a way, she passed away in the arms of the man she left with when the train crashed


So maybe there is beauty in tragedy like Neverland
Perhaps there is something beautiful and magical in the midst of tragedy, like in Peter Pan's home


But what's the point in paradise when no one's there to share it with?
Even if something seems perfect, it's meaningless without someone to share it with
