Lyrics
City people down the street
City dwellers walking along the street
Dressed in black
Dressed uniformly in black attire
Dressed in black
Reiteration of the fact that they are dressed in black
And foreheads weep under the burning sun
Expressing discomfort or distress ("foreheads weep") due to the hot sun
Smiles rising as they come out
Despite discomfort, their smiles become evident as they appear
Foreheads weep under the pointing time
Continuation of the discomfort caused by the harsh conditions
Smiles rising as they come out the buildings for the winters tight laid dream
Smiles reappear when they exit buildings, perhaps escaping the tight, confining feeling of winter
And I play dream
Reference to playing with dreams or fantasies
City people dressed in black
Reiteration that city inhabitants are dressed in black
Walking down with lonely faces
They walk with expressions that suggest loneliness or isolation
Show me how
Request or plea for guidance on how to embrace life
My life embraces me under the sun, under the sun
The speaker finds solace under the sun, symbolizing a sense of belonging or comfort
And guide me to other places
Seeking direction to explore different places and experiences
That all the places, all the places feel
Desire for all places to evoke a sense of familiarity or nostalgia
Like memory
Comparing all places to a memory, hinting at a sentimental connection
I'm walking randomly kicking verses that start where I see
The speaker walks aimlessly, expressing thoughts and observations based on what they see
I write and talk checking the sky and the height of
Writing and conversing while observing the sky and the stature of people around
People in a black suit
Observing people dressed formally in black suits
People walking down the street
Reiteration of people walking down the street
They seem to notice me riding high on my dreams
People seem to take notice of the speaker's aspirations or dreams
City people down the streets dressed in black
Repetition of city dwellers on the streets dressed in black
And the foreheads weep under the company's sun that embraces me
Continuation of discomfort caused by the sun, relating it to the company's influence
Smiles rising as they come out the buldings for the wind
Smiles reappear upon exiting buildings, perhaps indicating relief or joy
As they daydream, as they play dream, as they play dream, as they play dream
Repetition of the idea of daydreaming and playing with dreams
