In this lyrical odyssey, Journey takes us on a midnight train ride through the human condition. The song is an anthem for dreamers, painting vivid pictures of small-town girls and city boys venturing into the unknown in search of something more. It's a smoky room filled with the scent of ambition and desperation, where folks are just trying to catch a thrill or sing their blues away. The 'streetlights, people' motif symbolizes our collective yearning for connection and emotion, often hidden in the dark corners of life. And amidst all this existential turmoil, Journey serves up a powerful mantra - 'Don't stop believin''. So hold onto your dreams, folks! Because life's movie never ends; it just goes on and on...and so should your belief in better days!
