My Apartment
Finding Solace in Urban Serenity: My Apartment
Lyrics
Sometimes I wish I had a farm
Sometimes, I desire to have a farm.
Where the only pollution is your cigarettes
Imagining a place where the only pollution is from your own cigarettes.
Where your mind is clear.
A place where your mind is clear, suggesting a desire for mental clarity.
But I like it here in my small space.
Despite the farm desire, the singer likes their current small space (apartment).
New York's the place where the sidewalks know my face
New York is preferred, and the singer feels recognized on its sidewalks.
As I walk to
Continuation of the New York setting, walking to...
My apartment, the home where I hide
The apartment is described as the home where the singer hides.
Away from all the darkness outside.
The apartment serves as a refuge from external darkness.
I'm there all the time.
The singer spends a significant amount of time in the apartment.
Bikes ride to the park and city pools.
Reference to activities like bike rides and city pools during summer.
It's summer now; empty the school.
It's summer, and schools are empty.
Fly home to my cat on the F train.
Returning home on the F train to the singer's cat.
I'm protected from pain
The apartment provides protection from pain or troubles.
When I'm in
Reiteration of the importance of the apartment in providing comfort.
My apartment, the home where I hide
Reiteration of the apartment as a hiding place from external darkness.
Away from all the darkness outside.
Highlighting the protective function of the apartment.
I'm there all the time.
The singer consistently spends a significant amount of time in the apartment.
I'm there in my apartment, the home where I hide
Repetition emphasizing the apartment as a constant refuge.
Away from all the darkness outside.
Emphasizing the apartment's role in shielding from external darkness.
I'm there all the time
Consistent presence of the singer in the apartment throughout.
