Greta Van Fleet's lyrics delve into themes of disillusionment, conflict, and renewal. The narrative voice addresses a maternal figure, lamenting her actions that have led to ruin and internal strife. The repeated phrase "I've been there before" suggests a cyclical nature of mistakes and lessons unlearned. The "talking on the streets" symbolizes public scrutiny and the pervasive spread of rumors or truths that are acknowledged but not confronted by the subject. The call to follow "to the mountain of the sun" signifies a journey towards enlightenment and rebirth, urging a departure from past errors towards a new beginning. This juxtaposition of light and darkness underscores an existential struggle between fear and hope, culminating in an invitation to embrace change despite societal judgment.
Talk on the Street
Lyrics
Oh mama you lie in ruin
Can't you see what you've done
Well I've been there before
What's this war that you won
Oh mama you walk this way
And I'm crying inside
Well I've been there before
And you know that it's time
And everybody's talking
But you never let them know
Yes, I can hear them talking
Everyone knows
That's there's talking on the streets
Remember the days
When there's no one to defeat
Follow me down
To the mountain of the sun
Forgetting the end
As your new life has begun
Look mama the light is low
And the darkness near
Yes, everyone is looking for me and you
And the night's what you fear
Walk someone they follow us
And you're all undone
Yes, everyone is looking for me and you
And the war has begun
And everybody's talking
But you never let 'em know
Yes, I can hear them talking
Everyone knows
That's there's talking on the streets
Remember the days
When there's no one to defeat
Follow me down
To the mountain of the sun
Forgetting the end
As your new life has begun
And everybody's talking
And you never let them know
Yes, I can hear them talking
And you never let them know
