Royal Teeth is a happy accident. On a whim, the New Orleans-based band started incorporating samples and electronics to its indie vibe. Though this sounds mainstream, the band catches audiences off-guard with its memorable male and female vocal hooks.
More than ever, the band has cemented its stylistic sound. Before, the lineup changed from show-to-show. Now, the six members are set, ready for royalty.

We Can Glow
Royal Teeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spend another night
Talking 'bout the times we had
We can go outside
We can feel alive again
From the start
Racing hearts
They carry us away
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow – like a wildfire
Want to feel the danger
Running through our veins
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow – like a wildfire
Lie
Underneath the sky
Waiting for the stars to fall
Baby we can try
Leaping from the highest wall
Let the sea break our fall
Want to feel the waves
They carry us away
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow like a wildfire
Want to feel the danger
Running through our veins
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow like a wildfire
Don’t need a destination
Don’t need to think it through
We’re running with the night
You’ll be the light I never knew
Don’t need a destination
Don’t need to think it through
We’re running with the night
We’ll live the life we never knew
Want to feel the waves
They carry us away
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow like a wildfire
Want to feel the danger
Running through our veins
Oh we don’t have to wait forever
We can glow – like a wildfire
The song We Can Glow by Royal Teeth is an upbeat and lively song that encourages living in the moment and taking risks. The lyrics suggest that life should be lived with adventure and passion, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. The song starts off by saying "why spend another night talking about the times we had," implying that instead of reminiscing about the past, it's better to create new memories and experiences. The chorus then repeats the phrase "we can glow like a wildfire," emphasizing the idea of living with a fiery passion and intensity.
The second verse suggests taking risks and trying new things, as evidenced by the lines "Lie underneath the sky, waiting for the stars to fall. Baby we can try, leaping from the highest wall. Let the sea break our fall." The song again emphasizes the idea of experiencing life to the fullest, even if it means taking a leap of faith.
The bridge of the song, which proclaims "Don’t need a destination, don’t need to think it through. We’re running with the night, you’ll be the light I never knew," further reinforces the idea of living in the moment and letting go of fears that hold us back. The chorus repeats, further encouraging the listener to take risks and live passionately.
Overall, We Can Glow is a fun and lively song that encourages living life to the fullest and embracing adventure.
