Lyrics

I think I might have met you before,

I feel like I may have encountered you in the past.

I think its time to settle the score,

It's time to address unresolved issues or conflicts.

Buildings how they stretch so tall,

Observing tall buildings and their significance.

Steal and brick no more,

The transformation from steel and brick structures to something else.

No, no.

Emphatic denial or rejection.

Can I make you see.

Expressing a desire to make someone understand.


Id sooner just wreck em down,

Preferably, I'd rather dismantle them.

Never build on broads of ground,

Choosing not to construct on unstable or questionable foundations.

Rows that came together,

Referring to interconnected rows, possibly symbolic of relationships.

Memory never severs, love will never sever for me.

Memories that persist and love that endures.


Can't I make you see.

Repeating the desire to make someone comprehend.


Some cities crush,some cities heal,

Highlighting the contrasting impact of different cities—some oppressive, some nurturing.

Some cities laugh while other cities steal,

Further emphasizing the dichotomy between cities that laugh and those that steal.

Can I make you see,can I make you

Persisting in the effort to make someone understand.


Can I, can I make you see,

Continuing the plea for understanding.

Can I make you

Reiterating the desire to make someone comprehend.


Some cities,

Reiteration of the contrasting nature of cities, some oppressive.

Some cities crush,Some cities crush

Restating the oppressive nature of some cities.

Some cities.

Concluding with a repetition of the theme of oppressive cities.
