blood on the pavement
Urban Dreams Unveiled: Blood Stains and City Lights
Lyrics
Watch the world turn white
Observing a transformation where the world becomes bright or pure.
As You open your eyes
Upon waking, witnessing the mentioned transformation.
Flashes fade to squares of light
Quick scenes transitioning into patches of light.
Projected on scraper sides
Images projected onto the sides of tall buildings.
This isn’t a figment
Emphasizing that what is being observed is not imaginary but real life.
This is your life
Asserting that the observed scenes represent one's actual existence.
Watching the river
Engaged in contemplation while observing a river.
Blood on the pavement
Noticing blood on the pavement, implying a violent or disturbing aspect.
The city might be bigger
Suggesting that although the city is vast, one's significance within it is minimal.
But your smaller in it
Feeling small and insignificant in the expansive city environment.
You see a city as a phase
Viewing the city as a passing stage or a temporary state.
New York at night
Associating New York with the night, possibly implying a different perception during nighttime.
LA by day
Connecting Los Angeles with the daytime, suggesting a varied experience during the day.
Explosion of sparks on the street
Visualizing an energetic display of sparks on the street.
As cigarette leaves teeth
Describing the impact of a cigarette on teeth and its meeting with the concrete.
And meets the concrete
Highlighting the collision of elements, possibly symbolizing conflicts or harsh realities.
Performed disinterest
Displaying a lack of genuine interest in interactions with others.
In everyone you meet
Suggesting a detached attitude toward everyone encountered.
You must be asleep
Speculating that the observer might be in a state of unawareness or indifference.
Just a bad dream
Characterizing the current experience as a nightmarish scenario.
Watching the river
Continuing the contemplation while observing a river.
Blood on the pavement
Reiterating the presence of blood on the pavement, emphasizing its significance.
The city might be bigger
Repeating the idea that the city, though vast, makes one feel smaller.
But your smaller in it
Restating the sense of insignificance within the city environment.
You see a city as a phase
Recalling the city as a transient phase.
New York at night
Reaffirming the association of New York with the night and LA with the day.
LA by day
Evoking a sense of timelessness during a memorable summer.
A summer lasts forever
Suggesting that the perception of time depends on one's age.
Depending on your age
Prompting reflection on a specific summer remembered by the listener.
Is there one you still remember
Questioning if there's a memorable summer that had a profound impact.
That you swear left you changed
Reflecting on a transformative experience tied to a person or place.
Perhaps tied to a person
Suggesting a lasting connection between the memorable experience and a specific person.
Or maybe a place
Considering the possibility of the memorable experience being linked to a particular location.
