Life In The City
Surviving the Concrete Jungle: Band of Brothers SE's Reflection on City Life
Lyrics
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are left behind
Life in the city is challenging for those who are left behind.
The city's a jungle and you're going under if you hit the ground
The city is portrayed as a harsh environment, and failure can lead to significant consequences.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are on their own
Life is tough in the city, especially for individuals who are on their own.
Life in the city is slowly turning their hearts into stone
Living in the city gradually makes people's hearts cold and unfeeling.
Look down, look away, looking at strangers with nothing to say
Observing others with indifference, disconnection, and a lack of communication.
Alone, on your own, nobody cares that you are fading away
Being alone, unnoticed, and facing apathy from others as one fades away.
On the streets, in the dark, a predator hunting down its' prey
The city streets are depicted as a dangerous place, with predators preying on the vulnerable.
Anyone, too weak, too slow is fair game
Weak or slow individuals become easy targets for harm or exploitation.
"Only the strong survive", such a silly line
The statement "Only the strong survive" is criticized as simplistic or naive.
Children of the night, already lost the fight
Children of the night, possibly referring to those who are marginalized or struggling, have already lost the fight.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are left behind
Reiteration of the difficulty faced by those left behind in the city.
The city's a jungle and you're going under if you hit the ground
Reemphasizing the harsh and unforgiving nature of the city.
One hit, one kick, feeling the pain as you fall on your face
Physical pain and vulnerability are described through actions like hits and kicks.
One punch, and that's it, gotta get yourself out of this place
A single punch can be the catalyst for the need to escape from a dire situation.
"Only the strong survive", such a silly line
Reiteration and criticism of the notion that only the strong can survive.
Children of the night, already lost the fight
Children of the night have already succumbed to the challenges they face.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are left behind
Life remains difficult for those left behind in the city.
The city's a jungle and you're going under if you hit the ground
Highlighting the peril of falling under in the urban jungle.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are on their own
Reiterating the challenges faced by individuals who are on their own in the city.
Life in the city is slowly turning their hearts into stone
Continuing to emphasize the emotional hardening caused by city life.
Slow day, early December
Setting the scene of a slow day in early December, possibly symbolizing a gloomy or difficult time.
Summer sun so hard to remember
Recalling the memory of a summer sun that is now challenging to remember, suggesting a loss of warmth or positivity.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are left behind
Repetition of the theme of the hardships faced by those left behind in the city.
The city's a jungle and you're going under if you hit the ground
Reiterating the danger of falling beneath the challenges of the urban environment.
Life in the city is hard on the ones that are on their own
Reemphasizing the struggles of individuals who are on their own in the city.
Life in the city is slowly turning their hearts into stone
Continuing to highlight the emotional numbing caused by the harshness of city life.
