Radio City
Surviving Shadows: Unveiling the Resilience in 'Radio City' Lyrics
Lyrics
Just think about revealing
Contemplating the act of revealing something.
How hard it was to stand alone so long
Reflecting on the difficulty of enduring solitude for an extended period.
I swear I'll never tell
Promising not to disclose a secret.
More time ain't sure to save you from yourself
Suggesting that additional time may not rescue one from their own troubles.
Or were you there for a good reason
Pondering if there was a valid justification for being present in a situation.
Rain and dark can't keep a good girl down
Asserting that adverse conditions cannot defeat a resilient person.
Rise at 4am
Waking up early at 4 am.
To curse the day you came back to this town
Cursing the day of returning to a particular town.
We're part of the disease
Stating a connection to a problem or affliction.
With friends like me who needs Enemies
Expressing distrust in friendships and questioning the need for enemies.
And even while you speak of letting go
Noting the discussion of releasing or moving on.
There's wolves at your back door
Highlighting potential threats lurking nearby.
And the crushing weight of the world will seem to dim the city lights
Describing the overwhelming burden of the world dimming the city lights.
But the radio will help you survive
Emphasizing the role of radio as a survival tool in challenging times.
Well I know cutthroat when I see it
Recognizing deception or ruthlessness when observed.
It's in the company you keep
Associating cutthroat behavior with the company one keeps.
You can't remember when or how or why you crawled between your sheets
Describing a state of confusion about the circumstances leading to going to bed.
A soul for sale
Referencing a soul that is available for sale.
And a secret you'll be taking to your grave
Indicating a hidden secret that will be taken to the grave.
Now that you know I've been forgiven
Acknowledging forgiveness and implying regret for past actions.
You wish you'd been with anybody else
Expressing a desire to have been with someone else.
For that you'll serve in heaven
Accepting a role in heaven but yearning for control in hell.
But you'll long to rule in hell
Reiterating a connection to a disease or affliction.
We're part of the disease
Echoing distrust in friendships and questioning the need for enemies.
With friends like me who needs Enemies
Restating the association with a problem or affliction.
And even while you speak of letting go
Repeating the theme of considering letting go.
There's wolves at your back door
Warning of lurking threats despite efforts to move on.
And the crushing weight of the world will seem to dim the city lights
Depicting the weight of the world dimming city lights.
But the radio will help you survive
Affirming the supportive role of radio in survival during challenging times.
