Streetlight's On
Sara K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A certain light will fill your wings
A kiss to start you off
If I could draw
The way it falls upon your face
But I cannot
The night will come
Your moon will dance around the sun
I love your wings
The very things I cannot touch
The magic dust
When morning breaks
And all the shadows fade away
Streetlight's on
I′ve seen you then
It made me want to look again
How it takes
What it takes
And what you couldn't shouldn't
Wouldn′t didn′t give away
Streetlight's on
In Sara K.'s song "Streetlight's on," the lyrics paint a picture of a seemingly fleeting moment between two individuals, captured within the twilight hours of the night, illustrated by the repetition of the phrase "Streetlight's on." It hints at the beauty and precious nature of this passing moment, and the imagery used - wings, kisses, moon dancing around the sun - highlight the magic and wonder that can be experienced in even the most ordinary of moments.
The song speaks to the bittersweet feeling that comes with experiencing an individual's presence but knowing full well that there is a limit to how much one can truly know them, complete with a sense of longing and yearning in the lyrics of "I love your wings, the very things I cannot touch." The idea that something so special and fleeting can be encountered and appreciated is a common theme in Sara K.'s work. In "Streetlight's on," she perfectly captures the essence of romanticizing these brief but magical moments that make life all the more worthwhile.
