Fear City
Fear City Unveiled: A Poetic Exploration of Urban Desolation
Lyrics
Dragged down into lowercase
Feeling overwhelmed and degraded, losing one's status or dignity.
Trying to get your cops to talk right
Attempting to make authority figures communicate properly.
But they can't put the paper in your face
Facing resistance or refusal, unable to confront the truth.
You're just trying to walk by
Trying to move forward despite obstacles or challenges.
So now I got a new game baby
Introducing a new perspective or approach.
No one's gonna recognize it
Expecting a lack of recognition for the new strategy.
Your broken English over their flat, tired remarks
Conveying thoughts with imperfect language amid criticism.
Still trying to bring some dead beauty back to life
Persisting in reviving something beautiful that has faded away.
Isn't it pretty? Yeah
Questioning the beauty or attractiveness of a situation.
I'm gonna see my city dead
Expressing a desire to witness the decline or demise of one's city.
I can do everything that your man does except for better
Asserting the ability to outperform or emulate someone else.
Got no interest now in undressing your kids with cheap angst love
Rejecting shallow or insincere emotions in relationships.
Letters
Referring to written communication as a form of expression.
You write your name in all of the places no one goes
Marking one's presence in unconventional or unnoticed places.
Some can't be satisfied until everybody knows
Describing a relentless need for public acknowledgment.
Isn't it pretty? Yeah
Revisiting the theme of questioning the beauty of the surroundings.
I'm gonna see my city dead
Reiterating the anticipation of witnessing the decline of the city.
Isn't it pretty? Yeah
Reflecting on the perceived beauty despite the impending decline.
I'm gonna see my city dead (come on)
Repeating the anticipation of witnessing the decline with a call to action.
Isn't it pretty? Yeah
Re-emphasizing the beauty despite the anticipated demise.
I'm gonna see my city dead
Reiterating the expectation of witnessing the city's decline.
