Lyrics
No sun will shine in my day today
No sunlight in my day today
(No sun will shine)
Reiteration of the absence of sunlight
The high yellow moon won't come out to play
The bright moon isn't visible
(Won't come out to play)
Reiteration that the moon won't come out
Darkness has covered my light (and has changed)
Darkness has overshadowed my positivity and changed my situation
And has changed my day into night
Elaboration on the impact of darkness, turning day into night
Now where is this love to be found, won't someone tell me?
Seeking the location of love, a call for guidance
'Cause life, sweet life, must be somewhere to be found, yeah
Expressing the belief that a fulfilling life must exist somewhere
Instead of concrete jungle where the livin' is hardest
Contrasting the harsh reality of a concrete jungle with the ideal of a better life
Concrete jungle, oh man, you've got to do your best, yeah.
Encouragement to persevere in the challenging urban environment
No chains around my feet, but I'm not free
No physical chains, yet a sense of being confined or restricted
I know I am bound here in captivity
Acknowledging a sense of captivity or confinement
And I've never known happiness, and I've never known sweet caresses
Lamenting the lack of joy and affection in life
Still, I be always laughing like a clown
Maintaining a façade of happiness despite inner struggles
Won't someone help me?
An earnest plea for assistance or support
Cause, sweet life, I've, I've got to pick myself from off the ground, yeah
Recognizing the need to uplift oneself despite challenges
In this here concrete jungle
Reiteration of the tough conditions in the urban environment
I say, what do you got for me now?
Questioning what the concrete jungle has to offer
Concrete jungle, oh, why won't you let me be now?
Expressing a desire to be free from the constraints of the concrete jungle
I said life must be somewhere to be found, yeah
Reaffirming the belief that a fulfilling life must exist somewhere
Instead of a concrete jungle, illusion, confusion
Contrasting the concrete jungle with the idea of an illusion and confusion
Concrete jungle, yeah
Reiteration of the concrete jungle as a challenging environment
Jungle jungle jungle, you name it, we got it, concrete jungle now
Highlighting the various aspects of the concrete jungle
Concrete jungle, what do you got for me now
Persisting inquiry into what the concrete jungle has to offer
