| John Legend – Green Light Lyrics | 12 years ago |

It's: - "I want your green, green light" NOT "One two three green light, but if it's what it seems like - "The way you moving baby lets me know that it's gon' be right" NOT "The you moving baby, lets me know it's gon' be right" - "I want your green, red light" NOT "One two three red light" - "I got you giggling like a piglet" NOT "I got you gigglin' like I'm piglet" - "I'm just style-freeing, free-styling which I seldom do" NOT "I'm just style freein', freestylin' with y'all seldom do" Actually there are loads of errors but I can't be bothered to type them all out. And I feel like a grammar nazi with all the corrections and "NOT"s. :P |

What the hell? How is it about a relationship? "And when a sudden silhouette Escaped the top-side of your bed I knew you'd never ever be the same" That is clearly about death. The person is on their deathbed and their soul or whatever is the "sudden silhouette" that is moving on to the afterlife or wherever it is that the singer believes spirits go. |

"You're such a good dancer Oh you're a star You're carnival Jacaranda petals fall" I'm going to take this kind of literally and assume they're on about a carnival/festival. Well, apparently some places have Jacaranda festivals when their Jacaranda trees are in full bloom. |

That way your cradle escaped the sea "And your raven-haired mama caught told-you-so's" There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you I'll fall by your side "Though your raven-haired mama throws told-you-so's" |

<<"Aeroplane odabo ba mi ki won lo Odabo Eko meji, o yo mi O yo mi O yo mi" - I'm not 100% sure as to what this means as I don't speak this language, but I do know that "Odabo" is a parting phrase used by the Lukumi people of Nigeria. It sounds to me as-if he's saying "Goodbye Airplane", basically. If someone could translate that it would be very helpful for the rest of us.>> 'Odabo' is a word used by the YORUBA people of Nigeria. And you're right, it does mean 'goodbye'.. "aeroplane odabo" - goodbye plane "ba mi ki won lo odabo" - say goodbye to those who are going for me "eko meji, o yo mi" - the two hits/knocks, they taught me well (i assume this means that they learnt their lesson from the attacks on the twin towers |
