Lyrics
Every step takes a beat of your heart
Each step corresponds to the rhythm of your heartbeat.
through a city that's falling apart
Describing a deteriorating city environment.
on a night that rises and clears
Referring to a night that begins to clear up.
in a sky that's clouded by years
The sky is obscured by the passage of time.
my anger is a form of majesty
Expressing that one's anger holds a sense of importance or grandeur.
So I'd rather have hope than sadness
Preferring optimism over despair.
And you said something
Conversation or statement from another person.
you said something stupid like
Quoting something foolish or nonsensical said by someone.
love steals us from loneliness
Suggesting that love rescues people from feeling alone.
happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
Asking about loneliness on someone's birthday.
I misplaced your face
Unable to remember the exact memory of a person's face, equating it to a smile.
in the shape of a smile
Reflection on a night that holds no surprises.
on a night that could never surprise me
Challenging someone's fear of their past experiences.
don't tell me you're afraid of the past
Contrasting the idea of a future that feels uncertain.
it's only the future that didn't last
Self-deception about progress or direction in life.
you're kidding yourself, kidding yourself
Repeating the idea of self-deception.
you're going nowhere and you're
Implying lack of progress despite rapid movement.
going there fast
Reiterating self-deception about the direction in life.
And you said something
Revisiting a previous conversation or statement.
you said something stupid like
Repeating a foolish or nonsensical statement made by someone.
love steals us from loneliness
Emphasizing the idea that love rescues individuals from loneliness.
happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
Reiterating the inquiry about loneliness on someone's birthday.
are you lonely yet?
A repetition of the question, probing for a response regarding loneliness.
