Alone in the City
Alone in the Urban Symphony: A Tale of Dreams and Division
Lyrics
We live life alone in the city
We experience life in solitude within the city.
We dream of homes away
We aspire to have homes in distant places.
We all stand alone in the crowds
Despite being surrounded by crowds, we all feel alone.
Silent screaming loud
The internal struggles and emotions are intense but unspoken.
We barter at the alter
We negotiate or exchange at a sacred place.
Will these towers ever fall
Questioning the stability of towering structures in the city.
We dream
We have dreams.
We live
We live our lives.
We'd love to leave
We wish to escape from the city.
The city
Specifically, the challenges or constraints of urban life.
In the city
Reiteration of the challenges faced within the city.
The city
Emphasizing the overwhelming presence of the city.
The city
We hear of armageddons
Awareness of global crises and conflicts.
Of wars across the seas
Mentions of wars happening in distant places.
We hold our fingers to our eardrums
We deliberately avoid hearing about these issues.
Gated unity
Seeking unity within enclosed or protected spaces.
We know that lust and fear divide us
Recognition that desire and fear create divisions among us.
We know that lust and fear divide us
Repetition for emphasis on the impact of desire and fear.
Such a pity
Expressing regret or disappointment about the situation.
In the city
Highlighting the challenges within the city environment.
Such a pity
Reiteration of the unfortunate circumstances in the city.
In the city
We dream
Reaffirmation of having dreams.
We live
Reaffirmation of living life.
We'd love to leave
Reiteration of the desire to escape from the city.
The city
Specifically, the desire to leave the challenges of urban life.
