Lost Angels
Lost Angels: Unveiling the Hidden Stories of LA's Glittering Dreams
Lyrics
The city of dreams, I'm beginning to think
The speaker is starting to reconsider their perception of the city of dreams.
The sun feels kind of different in the shade
The sunlight feels different when in the shadows, suggesting a contrast between light and shade.
Pretty blue skies where pretty girls cry
Despite beautiful skies, even attractive individuals experience moments of sadness and tears.
Dipped in glitter, gold, lookin' for fame
People are adorned in glitz and glamour, seeking recognition and success.
Walkin' along the street where everyone seems to be
Observing a street bustling with people all pursuing either love or a similar objective.
Chasing either love or something close
Individuals are striving for affection or something akin to it.
Wearing designer hearts, playin' all the bad cards
People pretend to have emotionally crafted personas but engage in risky behaviors.
Empty souls who need someone to hold
There are individuals with empty or unfulfilled spirits seeking companionship.
Woke up in LA, Woke up in LA
The repetition emphasizes waking up in Los Angeles, highlighting the setting.
I woke up in Los Angeles
Reiteration of waking up in Los Angeles, emphasizing the location.
Woke up in LA, with all the sunny days
The speaker emphasizes the sunny days associated with being in Los Angeles.
I woke up in Los Angeles
Repeated statement indicating waking up in Los Angeles.
Da da da da da da dum
Repetitive nonsensical sounds or humming, possibly used for musical effect or rhythm.
Da da da da da da dum
-Da da da da da da da daa
-Da dum da da da da da da
-Da da da da da da dum
-Da da da da da da da dum
-The palm trees got nothin' to say
The palm trees, symbolic of the city, seem silent or devoid of meaningful communication.
No one really knows which way to go
There's a lack of clear direction or guidance among the people in the city.
Woke up in LA, woke up in LA
Reiteration of waking up in Los Angeles, reinforcing the setting.
I woke up in Los Angeles
The speaker emphasizes waking up in Los Angeles again.
Woke up in LA, with all the sunny days
Highlighting the association with sunny days experienced in Los Angeles.
I woke up in Los Angeles
Repetition emphasizing waking up in Los Angeles.
A hundred miles per hour
Moving at an incredibly fast pace, possibly referencing the hectic lifestyle in LA.
No time to smell the flowers
No time to enjoy or appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
No showing what's real
Difficulty in distinguishing reality from pretense or façade.
We hold the power
Asserting the control or influence individuals have over their lives.
The value of shiny things don't really mean a single thing
Making a statement about material possessions having little genuine value.
Its what you hold inside that's everything
Emphasizing the importance of inner qualities and character over external possessions.
Woke up in LA, woke up in LA
Reiteration emphasizing waking up in Los Angeles.
I woke up in Los Angeles
Repetition highlighting the experience of waking up in Los Angeles.
With all the sunny days, I woke up in LA
The speaker once again accentuates waking up in Los Angeles.
Woke up in Los Angeles
Reiteration of waking up in Los Angeles, emphasizing the location.
