City Lights
Chasing Dreams Amidst City Lights
Lyrics
So you left home in search for your serenity
Embarking on a journey away from home in search of inner peace.
Taking your soul to places it has never been
Exploring new and unfamiliar territories that challenge the soul.
In for the win
Aiming for success or victory.
Taking on a shot, a shot at a life
Taking a chance or risk for a fulfilling life.
Lights on you're next, now you're hoping that you find
Facing the spotlight and hoping for a positive outcome.
Your feet in time
Finding stability or rhythm in life.
Take a minute and think five weeks back
Reflecting on the past five weeks.
Wanted love, choosing life, getting blinded by the city lights
Desiring love but getting distracted by the allure of city life.
So you come and go, get cast out of the show
Experiencing rejection and financial difficulties.
Left with no money it wasn't quite how she
A person wasn't expecting the current situation.
Intended to be
Expressing unintended circumstances.
Then it came it saw the girl she wanted more
Encountering a tempting opportunity.
Conquering your vision now you just cant seem to find
Being captivated by a vision, struggling to move on.
A way to leave it behind
Difficulty in leaving the past behind.
Take a minute and think five weeks back
Reflecting on the past five weeks again.
Wanted love, choosing life, getting blinded by the city lights
Repeating the cycle of seeking love but getting lost in city distractions.
And your dreams never felt so far away
Feeling distant from dreams due to city life.
There's nothing like the comfort of yesterday
Nostalgia for the comfort of the past.
So you're hurting more than ever before
Experiencing heightened emotional pain.
As the light seems to fade away
The fading of light symbolizing loss or despair.
Left here hoping for a little rapport
Hoping for understanding or connection.
But the drugs take it all away
Substance abuse as a coping mechanism.
Running from the shame pent up in your mind
Escaping shame and guilt through running away.
No one's to blame in the city you confide
No one is at fault in the city where confidences are shared.
But leave yourself behind
Suggesting a need for self-discovery and growth.
Take a minute and think five weeks back
Reflecting on the past once again.
Wanted love, choosing life, getting blinded by the city lights
Repeating the cycle of seeking love and getting lost in city distractions.
And your dreams never felt so far away
Continued distance from dreams due to city life.
There's nothing like the comfort of yesterday
Longing for the comfort of the past.
