Traffic Lights
Victor Solf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smiling with my eyes
My tears leave
Poppies as they hit the ground
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
And we jump
We were friends
Now you blend in with the crowd
Painful memories
Memories turn to songs with time
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
And we jump
In that storm's eye
The hidden part reveals so much
What brings you joy and inner peace?
An armor you can't destroy?
Right here and now
It's gonna be that way for us
The courage to look up and hold on
Right here and now
It's gonna be that way for us
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
No more traffic lights
And we just
Want love and happiness
That's all we need
And we just
Want love and happiness
That's all we need
The song "Traffic Lights" by Victor Solf speaks to the theme of moving on from difficult times and finding hope and joy in the present. The opening verse describes the singer as "slightly smiling" and "smiling with [their] eyes," indicating that they may be hiding their emotions from others. However, tears continue to fall and leave "poppies" on the ground, suggesting a sense of grief or loss.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "no more traffic lights" several times, reinforcing the idea of freedom and release from difficult circumstances. The line "and we jump" adds a playful and celebratory tone to the song, encouraging listeners to join in the feeling of liberation.
The second verse of the song speaks to the idea of a friendship that has faded over time, with painful memories turning into songs that provide a sense of catharsis. The lyrics imply that while the friendship may be over, the singer has found a way to heal and move on.
The bridge of the song asks the listener to reflect on what brings them "joy and inner peace" and what kind of "armor" they have to protect themselves. The final chorus repeats the refrain "we just/want love and happiness/that's all we need," driving home the message of the song that happiness and freedom are achievable even in difficult times.
