Bastille - These Streets

Copied!

{Verse 1}
These streets are yours, you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back and I surrender
To the memories I run from

{Pre-Chorus}
Oh, we have paved these streets
With moments of defeat

{Chorus}
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
So I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore

{Verse 2}
These streets are yours, you can keep them
In my mind, it's like you haunt them
And passing through, I think I see you
In the shapes of other women

{Pre-Chorus}
Oh, we have stained these walls
With our mistakes and flaws

{Chorus}
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
So I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore

{Bridge}
All that’s left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
Oh, a shadow cast upon the wall is silhouette and nothing more
That is all that's left behind

{Chorus}
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore

{Outro}
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore

edit bio

Bastille is a British indie pop band that first burst onto the music scene in 2010. The band initially gained attention after releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011. Following this, they were signed to Virgin Records, where they would go on to release their debut album, Bad Blood, in March 2013.

Before the release of Bad Blood, Bastille released two mixtapes for free – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 – showcasing their unique sound and style. Lead singer Dan Smith discussed the mixtapes in an interview, revealing that the label was initially against the idea due to the illegal sampling and stealing of music.

The band found commercial success with singles like “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood”, and “Flaws”, but it was their fourth single, “Pompeii”, that truly catapulted them into the charts. The song became a massive hit, going 5x Platinum worldwide and becoming the most streamed song in the United Kingdom at the time.

In November 2013, Bastille reissued Bad Blood as All This Bad Blood, including bonus tracks and the mixtapes that had gained them attention in the first place. Following this, the band released their second mixtape, VS. (Other People’s Heartache Pt. III), in 2014.

In September 2016, Bastille released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Wild World, further solidifying their place in the music industry. In June 2019, the band released their third studio album, Doom Days, described by Dan as an “apocalyptic party album.” An extended version of the album was later released in December 2019.

Bastille consists of lead singer Dan Smith, keyboardist Kyle Simmons, bassist and guitarist Will Farquarson, and drummer Chris “Woody” Wood. With their unique sound and captivating performances, Bastille continues to captivate audiences around the world with their infectious indie pop tunes.
