Out of Control Pathos
Urban Dreams Unveiled: Charlie Steady's Out of Control Pathos
Lyrics
I'm happy in the city tonight
I find joy in the city tonight
People talking
Conversations happening around me
People walking alright
People walking, everything is fine
It's a big place for someone like me
The city is vast, especially for someone like me
Walking to future notoriety
Heading towards a future marked by fame or notoriety
That's why I need it
Expressing a need for something
That's why I dreamed it
Emphasizing a dream related to the city
Felt it
Experiencing a strong emotion
And believed in it
Having faith and confidence in it
For so long
Long-lasting commitment to the dream
So long
Repetition emphasizing the duration of commitment
My old town was such a drag
Expressing dissatisfaction with the old hometown
Making me mad
Causing frustration and anger
So mad alright
Intensifying the feeling of anger
Performers out of sight
Entertainers not visible, possibly a longing for success
Living their dreams
Living their dreams, something the speaker has witnessed
Something I'd seen
Referring to experiences related to dreams
Pathos can be the worst
Suggesting that intense emotions can be challenging
Am I crying or laughing tonight
Questioning whether the speaker is experiencing joy or sadness
To not feel alone is my curse
Describing the burden of not wanting to feel alone
Looks like I am past the worst
Indicating a sense of overcoming challenges
That's why I need it
Reiterating the need for something
That's why I dreamed it
Emphasizing the persistence of the dream
And felt it
Expressing a deep emotional connection to the dream
And believed in it
Believing strongly in the dream
For so long
Repeating the enduring commitment to the dream
So long
Emphasizing the long duration of belief
That's why I need it
Reiterating the need for something (repeated)
That's why I dreamed it
Emphasizing the persistence of the dream (repeated)
And felt
Reiterating the strong emotional connection to the dream
And believed in it
Expressing a continued strong belief in the dream
For so long
Repeating the enduring commitment to the dream (repeated)
So long
Emphasizing the long duration of belief (repeated)
