Everyone and Us
Peaking Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s all just passing by
Down the alley, where memories meet
We can't dance if we don't move our feet
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
Said the monkey to the man
Let′s stay awake, lose ourselves in the moment
Time is the only opponent
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
What is now, can feel like forever
You can hold up running either
We have secret times and bad
This is all we've ever had
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
Said the monkey to the man
Take my hand I′ll steal your hand
Let's stay awake, lose ourselves in the moment
Time is the only opponent
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
These are days, EVERYONE, EVERYONE AND US
These are days, EVERYONE, EVERYONE AND US
The lyrics to Peaking Lights' song "Everyone and Us" convey a contemplation of time and the fleeting nature of life. The opening lines suggest a realization that time is passing quickly, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment. The phrase "Down the alley, where memories meet" evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection, as if the past is inextricably tied to the present.
The chorus, "These are days, EVERYONE AND US," can be interpreted as a reminder that everyone experiences the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings. The line "Said the monkey to the man, take my hand I'll steal your hand" implies a desire for connection and shared experience, as if the monkey represents a playful and carefree spirit inviting the man to let go and embrace the present.
The lyrics also touch upon the concept that what we are experiencing now can feel like it will last forever, but in reality, time moves swiftly and we cannot avoid its passing. The line "Time is the only opponent" emphasizes the unstoppable force of time and the need to appreciate the moments we have. The repeated phrase "These are days, EVERYONE AND US" at the end of each verse further reinforces the universality of the human experience and the shared journey through time.

Time's changing, we're the time
As time passes, we are the ones who adapt to the changes
It's all just passing by
Everything is fleeting and transient
Down the alley, where memories meet
In the depths of our minds, where memories converge
We can't dance if we don't move our feet
We can't experience joy and freedom if we don't take action
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
This is the present moment, shared by all of us
Said the monkey to the man
Expressing a playful interaction between different beings
Take my hand, I'll steal your hand
Come join me and let's connect, share experiences
Let's stay awake, lose ourselves in the moment
Let's remain present, fully immersed in the current experience
Time is the only opponent
The passing of time is the only obstacle we face
What is now, can feel like forever
The current moment can seem eternal
You can hold up running either
You can choose to resist or embrace the passage of time
We have secret times and bad
We have both hidden, intimate moments and difficult ones
This is all we've ever had
These experiences are the essence of our existence
These are days, EVERYONE AND US
These are the days we share with everyone around us
These are days, EVERYONE, EVERYONE AND US
These are the days when every individual and our collective selves intertwine

This video reminds me of the famous Tom Tom Club video from the 80's!

I like their more psychedelic sound as opposed to this 80s / disco/ pop sound.
