Get Outta London
Escape the City Lights: Aztec Camera's Urban Odyssey
Lyrics
The sun dying on a dusty room
The sunset in a dusty room symbolizes an ending or decay.
TV lying to me through the gloom
The TV is providing misleading information in a dim environment.
Even remote control
Even with a remote control, one can't change the prevailing mood.
Can't change this mood
Continuing the theme of inability to alter the current emotional state.
Get outta London, while the getting's good
An urging to leave London while there's an opportunity.
Get outta London, while I know I could
Reinforcing the idea of departing London while acknowledging the ability to do so.
Get outta London
A repetition emphasizing the suggestion to leave London.
Train's come just ride and believe
Encouragement to take a train and have faith in the journey.
The engine running's all the music I need
The sound of the train's engine is presented as sufficient music.
I've got a fear of the past
Expressing a fear of the past and a desire to satisfy hunger.
And a hunger to feed
Metaphorically indicating a need to fulfill inner desires.
Get outta London and you shall be free
Suggesting freedom comes with leaving London.
Get outta London and it's guaranteed
Ensuring that leaving London guarantees a positive change.
Get outta London
Reiteration of the idea of getting out of London.
I walked the avenue of dumb signs
Describing a walk through a street with meaningless signs, enjoying the moment.
Meant nothing and it felt fine
Reflecting on the insignificance of certain things and finding contentment.
Then I remembered what was really mine
Recalling what truly belongs, represented by a silver shiver.
A silver shiver running down my spine
Feeling a shiver of realization and connection.
Down where the streets are pave with sick schemes
Describing a place with corrupt schemes and a river symbolizing deception.
The river's running like a snake through the dream
The river symbolizes deceit running through a dreamlike state.
The politicians gaze across it's slime
Politicians overlooking corruption and the need for an alternative.
I need another way to waste my time
Expressing a desire for a different way to spend time.
Get outta London, get outta London
A repeated call to leave London.
I saw the specter of charity
Observing a questionable form of charity.
And he didn't seem too brotherly
Noting a lack of brotherhood in the observed charity.
Popping up what should be blown away
Highlighting the persistence of unnecessary elements.
A brotherhood of man in disarray
Commenting on the disarray in the brotherhood of man.
I got hit by the dreamers disease, where by your big ideas
Experiencing a setback due to unrealistic dreams.
Don't make connection with your buckling knees
Realizing that big ideas may not align with practical circumstances.
And saw the greed and we agreed that it sucked
Recognizing and rejecting greed, although it's acknowledged.
But they said, "Don't laugh at money 'cause it's bad, bad luck"
Being warned not to mock money despite acknowledging its negative aspects.
Get outta London, get outta London
A repeated emphasis on the urgency to leave London.
Get outta London, get outta London
Further repetition, underlining the message to get out of London.
Get out, get out, get out
A final call to leave London.
Get outta London
A concluding repetition, emphasizing the need to get out of London.
