Meanhattan
Echoes of Despair: Meanhattan's Symphony of Urban Gloom
Lyrics
The funeral bell
The announcement of a death or tragedy
Chimes through misty autumn light
A somber atmosphere during the autumn with a funeral bell ringing
Just another faceless victim
An unidentified person who has become a victim, lacking individual recognition
Another who failed to survive
Another individual who couldn't overcome life's challenges and perished
Well there are no more tears
Expressing emotional exhaustion, possibly from repeated losses
You get used to the look of a coffin let down
Getting accustomed to the sight of coffins being lowered, indicating frequent exposure to death
And you know no one's about to grow
A realization that personal growth is stunted in a bleak environment
Old in this miserable town
Commentary on the difficulty of aging in a miserable town
The gloom eats all hope
The pervasive darkness erodes all optimism
The torment it reigns
A state of enduring mental and emotional suffering
And the menace of death
A looming sense of mortality affecting the less privileged
Grips the souls of the poor in the streets
The oppressive force of death impacting the impoverished on the streets
So now it's your time
Indication that the listener's time has come to face the inevitable
In the end it's all the same
Life's conclusion is uniform, regardless of individual circumstances
Another candle's extinct
A metaphorical extinguishing of life represented by a candle
By the wind of the city insane
The destructive influence of the city's chaos on individuals
And it's too late now
A recognition that it's too late to change the city's harsh reality
In this city to live means to die
A bleak perspective on survival in the city
It's consuming all fortune
The city consumes all forms of prosperity without justification
And nobody dares to ask why
A reluctance or fear to question the city's destructive nature
Don't ever stroll
Advising against casual walks due to potential dangers
Or soon it will happen
A warning of negative consequences if one ventures out
Don't ever prowl through the concrete canyons of
Cautioning against exploring the harsh urban landscape of "Meanhattan"
Meanhattan
The repeated reference to the challenging environment of Meanhattan
Meanhattan-hattan
Repetition emphasizing the intensity and challenging nature of Meanhattan
