Sad In Toronto
Loneliness Across Continents: A Melancholic Journey Through Cities
Lyrics
Foreign language
Expressing a feeling of being in an unfamiliar place or situation.
Blue but in a different continent
Feeling down or melancholic in a foreign location.
Scream of anguish
An intense expression of emotional pain or distress.
Blank stares at monuments
Experiencing a lack of emotional connection or understanding while observing significant structures.
Chronic pessimism
A consistent negative outlook on life.
Crying at a French cafe
Crying in a setting associated with French culture.
Telling myself I like impressionism while looking right through a Monet
Pretending to appreciate art (impressionism) but not genuinely connecting with it.
And it's just as lonely looking out at the water
Feeling loneliness while observing the water.
As it is lonely looking out my bedroom window
Comparing the loneliness of looking out at the water with the loneliness of looking out the bedroom window.
It's just as sad in Paris
Expressing sadness in Paris.
As it is sad in Toronto
Equating the sadness in Toronto with the sadness in Paris.
I think I'm gonna hate you by the time we reach the east side
Anticipating a negative feeling towards someone as they move towards the east side.
Crying at the Metropolitan
Crying at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Trudging along the High Line
Walking heavily along the High Line (a park in New York City).
And it's just as lonely looking out at the city
Feeling lonely while observing the cityscape.
As it is lonely looking out my bedroom window
Comparing the loneliness of looking out at the city with the loneliness of looking out the bedroom window.
It's just as sad in New York
Expressing sadness in New York.
As it is sad in Toronto
Equating the sadness in Toronto with the sadness in New York.
We've spent hours in the suburbs
Spending a significant amount of time in suburban areas.
I thought I'd like America
Initially expecting to like America but not finding it fulfilling.
And I thought I saw your brother
Mistakingly identifying someone as the speaker's brother.
But it was just a replica
Realizing that the person was just a replica or imitation.
Why did I believe the TV shows
Questioning the trustworthiness of television shows and their influence on beliefs.
I've been on one of those
Having personal experience with being on a TV show.
It's all fake, that's something everybody knows
Expressing skepticism about the authenticity of what is presented on TV.
And it's just as lonely in another country
Feeling lonely in a different country.
As it is lonely outside my bedroom window
Comparing the loneliness in another country with the loneliness outside the bedroom window.
It's just as sad somewhere else
Expressing sadness in another location.
As it is sad in Toronto
Equating the sadness in another place with the sadness in Toronto.
It's just as sad as being at home
Expressing the equivalent level of sadness as being at home.
