Street Lights Lyrics

Cover art for Street Lights lyrics by Kanye West

i agree with solarflair - this song perfectly describes the feeling of nostalgia and living in a city and that feeling of missing a place that you can't even call home anymore. i often feel like i'm always looking forward to the next thing that i don't even take time to appreciate the good things why they're happening to me. because of this life passes me by - and by the time i realize this it's just a series of memories. i know where i want to be and i have goals but i'm "just not there". he captures this so accurately not just in the words but the rhythm of the song.

i can see the vividness of being in a cab and speeding past all the lights and wondering where the time is gone and how i've gotten here so fast.

meaning aside, this song is beautiful. aside from driving in the car, dancing, or working out, i hardly ever listen to rap. but there is a deeper meaning in this song, and it reminds of the music i really listen to in order to feel some emotion. kanye is really saying something in this song. i love kanye’s regular stuff --but he really goes above and beyond with this one. good work, yeezy.
