TELE/VISIONS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like we're living in a dream, got a pocket full of nothing but we're ready to go
Street's aglow on a Saturday night, I can feel something in the air
The boys are all out looking for a fight
Chasing the girls with the bleach blonde hair
Forget your regrets and mistakes that you have made
Let's live here in the moments when you take my breath away
We'll run this car into the ground, innocent and wild
These darkened streets call out to us in a way we've never heard before
Now these four walls are never enough when the world is knocking at your door
There's a glimmer off in the distance, there's a glow that's far away
You feel like there's nothing that can bring you down
When you spend your whole life at the top of a wave
Forget your regrets and mistakes that you have made
Let's live here in the moments when you take my breath away
Singing along to No Surrender as we chase those city lights
We'll run this car into the ground, innocent and wild
Forget your regrets and mistakes that you have made
Let's live here in the moments when you take my breath away
Forget your regrets and mistakes that you have made
Let's live here in the moments when you take my breath away
Singing along to No Surrender as we chase those city lights
We'll run this car into the ground, innocent and wild

I have a strong sense that tonight is the beginning of something wonderful
Just like we're living in a dream, got a pocket full of nothing but we're ready to go

Street's aglow on a Saturday night, I can feel something in the air
The streets are brightly lit on a Saturday night, and there is a palpable atmosphere
The boys are all out looking for a fight
The young men are actively searching for confrontation
Chasing the girls with the bleach blonde hair
Pursuing the girls with light-colored hair
Forget your regrets and mistakes that you have made
Leave behind your feelings of remorse and the errors you've committed
Let's live here in the moments when you take my breath away
Let us exist in the instances when you captivate me completely
Singing along to No Surrender as we chase those city lights
Singing in unison to 'No Surrender' while pursuing the city's illuminated signs
We'll run this car into the ground, innocent and wild
We will drive this car recklessly until it is completely worn out, with an air of innocence and spontaneity
These darkened streets call out to us in a way we've never heard before
These dimly lit streets beckon us in a manner unfamiliar to us
Now these four walls are never enough when the world is knocking at your door
Currently, being confined within these enclosed spaces is insufficient when the outside world demands attention
There's a glimmer off in the distance, there's a glow that's far away
There is a faint spark in the distance, a radiance that is distant
You feel like there's nothing that can bring you down
You feel invincible, as if nothing can diminish your spirit
When you spend your whole life at the top of a wave
When you have always experienced success and triumph

I never thought that I'd be here
I never thought I'd have short hair
I'll never grow up in my head
Although my heart and soul are dead
Cause in my mind I'm alone
In my mind I belong in New York City
I wanna cry in your hands
I wanna die in your hands
Cause I've hate what I've become
Oh I guess that I'll just run
Cause in my mind I'm alone
In my mind I belong in New York City
Lyrics (youre welcome in advance lol):
