Hey, City
Urban Elegance: Embracing the Heartbeat of a City
Lyrics
Hey, city, you're a child that's outgrown its shoes
The city is depicted as a growing entity that has outgrown its old ways and is evolving.
Does your mama like who you've become?
Questioning whether the authority or caretaker figure of the city approves of its current state or development.
Harsh lights dressed in smog
The city's bright lights are obscured or tainted by pollution.
Rough urban girl
Refers to the tough nature or character of the urban environment.
But the water shines gold on your shores
Despite its roughness, there's beauty in the city, symbolized by the shining water along its shores.
Hey, city, we're stuck in your veins
People are deeply entrenched or absorbed within the city's framework or lifestyle.
Little trapped cells on the roads
Metaphorically compares individuals in the city to cells stuck or confined in the roads.
But sometimes we let ourselves out of the cage
Occasionally, individuals break free from the constraints of city life and behave wildly.
And dance like you're still the wild
Despite changes, there's a desire to retain the untamed spirit of the city.
Hey, city, you're not bad
Reaffirming that despite imperfections, the city isn't entirely negative.
Loved you once, loved you twice, don't you know you're mine?
Expresses a possessive sentiment towards the city, indicating a deep connection or attachment.
Fiercest girl I've ever met, I'm falling for your shine
Admiration for the city's fierce nature, falling for its allure or attractiveness.
Hey, city, you don't let us be still
The city's bustling nature prevents stillness or calmness among its inhabitants.
Your glitter tempts us to move
The city's glamour or attractiveness entices people to keep moving or striving.
But one night, the lights went out
There's a moment of realization or revelation when the city's facade or surface is seen differently.
And we saw you beneath the moon
Observing the city's true essence or nature beneath its usual facade, possibly under a more natural light (moonlight).
Hey, city, you're not bad
Reiterates the idea that the city isn't entirely negative or unworthy.
Loved you once, loved you twice, don't you know you're mine?
Reasserts a possessive connection to the city, affirming ownership or belonging.
Figure branded in my heart, I'm falling for your
The city's image is deeply etched or imprinted within the speaker's heart.
Flashing eyes, still so wild, pieces saved from time
Admiration for the city's enduring wildness and preservation of its essence through time.
Fiercest girl I've ever met, I'm all lost to your shine
Continued admiration for the city's allure and captivation by its brilliance.
