Nicky Romero & Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wide awake in here, you shine.
Ran away from goals, left you in the cold.
Nothing's in our way tonight.
You know that you'll never be replaced.
And everyone here made the same mistakes as me.
And either way our time won't go to waste
Our hearts will never be the same again.
Our hearts will never be the same again.
The first line, "Love the way I feel, streets replaced with fields," is a metaphor for how the singer has left behind the hustle and bustle of the city and is now in a serene environment, surrounded by fields. The next line, "Wide awake in here, you shine," suggests that the singer is no longer sleepy or tired and is energized by the presence of their loved one. The third line, "Ran away from goals, left you in the cold," implies that the singer was once deeply focused on their personal goals but neglected the person they loved in the process. However, that's not the case anymore. The fourth line, "Nothing's in our way tonight," indicates that the obstacles that prevented the singer from pursuing a relationship with their loved one no longer exist.
The next two lines, "You know that you'll never be replaced / And everyone here made the same mistakes as me," is the singer recognizing and admitting their past mistakes while reassuring their partner that they will never be replaced by anyone else. The last two lines, "And either way our time won't go to waste / Our hearts will never be the same again," refer to the realization that the past cannot be changed, but they are determined to make the most of their present and future with their loved one. The last line, "Our hearts will never be the same again," is a testament to the transformative power of love and how it changes people for the better.

A message to 2012.
I love the way I felt
The streets were replaced with fields
I was wide awake, 2012 and you shined on me
I ran away from past days to focus on living in the moment and left them in the cold
Nothing was in our way especially during our Friday night parties, 2012
You will never be replaced 2012
Everyone on this video made the same mistakes as me that year
Either way, our time didn’t go to waste
And our hearts were never the same again.

Like someone once said, this is a hidden gem in 18 Months. It took me a while to figure this out.

hashvid i couldn't agree more. I've been listening to Calvin Harris for years and not until recently have i heard this song. In my opinion, this is one of his best vocals.
A Tökfőzelék az elég?
