Headlights
Robin Schulz & Lilly Wood & the Prick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, 'cause you always tryna get ahead of light
Baby, when you go
You know I'll be waiting on the other side
And I know it's cold
But if you stay then I could keep you warm at night
Don't be a fool for the city nights
Baby, with you I can never lie
Don't go chasing all the headlights
Oh, I could feel the beating of your heart ache drum
Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone
Every time you go
Hits me like a bullet from a golden gun
Yeah, I know it's cold
But if you stay then I could give you all my love
Oh
Don't be a fool for the city nights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby, with you I can never lie
So don't go chasing all the headlights
Oh
Don't be a fool for the city nights
I know it's cool but it's only light
Baby, with you I can never lie
So don't go chasing all the headlights
(Oh, I could feel the beating of your heart on drum
Oh, don't know if I'm dreaming or if you have gone
Every time you go...)
The song "Headlights" by Robin Schulz and Lilly Wood & the Prick speaks to the idea of chasing after the bright lights of the city, but ultimately finding comfort and love in staying put with someone special. The lyrics suggest that the allure of the nightlife can be tempting, but ultimately it is only fleeting and shallow. The first verse suggests that the person in question is always trying to get ahead of the light, or to stay ahead of the game, but that the singer will be waiting for them on the other side (presumably a more stable and loving environment). The singer offers to keep them warm at night if they stay, implying that they can provide the love and comfort they need to feel fulfilled.
The chorus urges the person not to be a fool for the city nights, acknowledging that it might seem cool in the moment, but that it is ultimately superficial. The singer insists that they can never lie to this person, and that chasing the headlights of the city will only bring them heartache. The second verse speaks to the emotional toll of constantly leaving and returning, with the singer feeling like they get hit by a bullet every time the person goes away. However, if they stay, the singer promises to give them all their love. The outro repeats the chorus, driving home the idea that chasing the bright lights of the city will only lead to disappointment, and that staying put with someone who loves you is ultimately a more fulfilling choice.

Yeah, you never said a word
You didn't send me no letter
Don't think I could forgive you
See our world is slowly dying
I'm not wasting no more time
Don't think I could believe you
Yeah, our hands will get more wrinkled
And our hair will be grey
Don't think I could forgive you
And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you
Hey, when seas will cover lands
And when men will be no more
Don't think you can forgive you
Yeah when there'll just be silence
And when life will be over
Don't think you will forgive you

@@VilkasPilkas Sweet! Here´s some worthless advice:
Always question what you see, most facts in your life are gonna be lies or worse, half truth
Be kind, but focus on yourself. Its good to be nice to People, but the better you do as an individual the better society as a whole will prosper.
Work out. Your Body is the only thing you truly own. Make it into something you can be proud of.
Its Worthless advice because you wont listen.
