Red Lights
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything faded on your love,
I'm already wasted so close
That I can taste it now... now...
So let's break right out of these guilty cages
We're going to make it now...
Don't ever turn around
Nobody else needs to know
Where we might go...
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
There ain't no reason to stay
We'll be light years away...
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
White lights, flirt in the darkness
This road leads where your heart is
These signs, something we can't ignore
We can't back down
We'll never let them change us
We're going to make it now
What are we waiting for...
What are we waiting for...
Nobody else needs to know
Where we might go...
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
There ain't no reason to stay
We'll be light years away...
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
We could just run them red lights
The song “Red Lights” by Tiesto is an electrifying track that has an undercurrent of a message about living life uninhibitedly and following one's passion. The lyrics describe how the singer of the song is so deeply entranced by someone that they are willing to abandon all their inhibitions and societal constraints to be with that person. The opening verse, “Blacked out, Everything faded on your love, I'm already wasted so close that I can taste it now,” suggests that the singer is lost in this person's love to the point of intoxication.
The chorus of the song, “We could just run them red lights” provides a powerful metaphor for the willingness to break societal rules and expectations to pursue one's desires. The lines “Nobody else needs to know where we might go,” “There ain't no reason to stay, we'll be light years away” emphasize the freedom and urge to escape all societal norms and social constructs that hold us back. The second verse, “White lights, flirt in the darkness, this road leads where your heart is, these signs, something we can't ignore, we can't back down” furthers this message of following one's heart, taking risks, and going down the path that is truly your own.
Overall, the lyrics of "Red Lights" convey the feeling of taking hold of life with both hands, leaving behind all hesitations, and pursuing what one wants in life. The song is an inspirational anthem about living life with full freedom while keeping in mind that it is sometimes necessary to break the rules in order to achieve the desired happiness and fulfillment in life.
