Lyrics
Too many city blocks with crumbled walks and blue-collar spenders
Observation of deteriorating city neighborhoods filled with working-class people spending their earnings.
Too many boarded shops shops and nowhere job for faded contenders
Noticing many closed-down shops and a lack of opportunities for those whose ambitions have faded.
I close my eyes and let go and nobody knows you
Retreating into oneself, finding solace or peace, yet remaining unknown or unnoticed by others.
I close my eyes and let go and no one controls you
Seeking freedom by closing oneself off, away from external control or influence.
I keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravity
Hoping for a transformative shift in life, akin to particles floating and changing in the force of gravity.
Lying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravity
Refusing to lead a purposeless existence, wanting more than being insignificant like dust affected by gravity.
Living for the dawn keeps me hanging on
Surviving or finding meaning by holding on until a new beginning, perhaps with the arrival of dawn.
Hole in my pocket got me locked inside a job that I hate
Feeling trapped in a job that's unfulfilling and burdensome, causing financial struggles.
I got a dream about a scene but I'm still stuck in my state
Having aspirations or ideas of a different life but being unable to break free from the current situation.
I close my eyes and let go and nobody knows you (no, no, no)
Seeking anonymity or privacy by closing oneself off from others' perceptions.
I close my eyes and let go and no one controls you
Desiring autonomy or freedom from external influences and control.
I keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravity
Awaiting a significant change in life, paralleling the anticipation of how dust changes in the pull of gravity.
Lying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravity
Rejecting a life devoid of meaning, striving for significance beyond insignificance like dust affected by gravity.
Living for the dawn keeps me hanging on, on, on, on, on, hanging on
Finding resilience or determination in holding on, possibly for a promising future or a new beginning.
I keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravity
Continuing to hope for a substantial shift in life, akin to the unpredictable changes in particles influenced by gravity.
Lying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravity
Refusing to lead a meaningless existence, seeking more than a life akin to dust affected by gravity.
Living for the dawn keeps me hanging on
Finding the strength to persevere, possibly clinging onto hope or a chance for a better tomorrow.
