Went to the City
City Lights and Broken Dreams: Unveiling the Dark Allure
Lyrics
Went to the city for the drugs and dancing
Went to the city seeking drugs and dancing.
She lights up pretty from so far away come closer
Describing someone who looks attractive from a distance but needs to come closer to be truly seen.
You come and go alone you don't stand a chance
Coming and going alone, facing challenges without much hope.
It wants too much to see you crash and crumble
Desire for self-destruction and witnessing a downfall.
To let you die out on the road
Refusing to let someone perish on the road, urging them to return home.
Come stumbling homeward
Returning home in a stumbling manner, possibly intoxicated.
We all know you and how you're not ever coming back
Awareness of the person's habits and the realization that they won't return.
I keep moving but I'm getting nowhere
Continuously moving but making no progress.
The neighborhoods we used to roam have all been stolen
The familiar neighborhoods have been taken away or changed.
She was my homegirl but I feel no connection to her now
Feeling disconnected from someone who used to be close.
We take a little from the devil's coffer
Taking risks or indulging in things with negative consequences.
They get you hooked then let you go and crossing over
Being enticed by something, then abandoned and left to face the consequences.
You never know how far unless you take the chance
Emphasizing the unknown outcome unless one takes a chance.
Wasting my time inside snake oil shelter
Wasting time in a deceptive or fraudulent place.
It's much too much to take the whole thing on your shoulders
It's overwhelming to bear the burdens of others.
To carry everyone caught believing in you down
Bearing the weight of everyone who believed in you and letting them down.
I keep on going but I'm getting nowhere
Continuing to move forward without making progress.
Watching the people on the road out on their own cold
Observing people on their own cold journeys.
You come and go alone you don't stand a chance
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges alone with little hope.
