Bittersweet Nights: Unveiling the Aftertaste of Urban Dreams
Lyrics
The days and nights are stale
The days and nights are stagnant or lacking freshness.
Su-summer's on repeat
Summer seems to be monotonous or repetitive.
We're all messed up from it
We are all affected or disturbed by it.
Bruised and broken dreams
Dreams have been damaged and shattered.
We know the aftertaste
We are aware of the consequences or outcome.
The pretense of the night
The false appearance or facade of the night.
We make it look glamorous
We make it seem attractive and exciting.
But only we know what it's really like
Only we truly understand the reality of the situation.
Cause some nights I wanna leave this place
Some nights, there is a desire to escape this environment.
And move out of this pretend city
Expressing a wish to leave this artificial or fake city.
But it tastes like candy, bittersweet
Despite the difficulties, there is a sweet and addictive quality.
So I take what I want and leave what I need
Taking what is desired and leaving what is necessary.
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
Familiarity with the city, yet getting lost in it.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Expressing a strong desire for the aftertaste.
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
Despite disliking it now, there is a commitment to continue.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Reiteration of the strong desire for the aftertaste.
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
Repeating the theme of being familiar but lost in the city.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Commitment to persist despite current dissatisfaction.
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
Reiteration of the commitment to continue despite dislike.
We act to feel like we're older
Acting to feel mature while questioning the fun in youth.
What's the fun in being young?
Questioning the enjoyment of being young.
And all the kids nowadays
Observing the younger generation consuming courage.
Are sipping courage from a straw
Highlighting the artificiality of contemporary courage.
Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm in my glory days
Feeling reminiscent of past glorious days.
Fuel the fire of my faulty flame
Fueling a flawed passion or desire.
Darling light up my world, light it just for the day
A plea for temporary brightness in life.
Cause some nights I wanna leave this place
Repetition of the desire to escape the current situation.
And move out of this pretend city
Reiterating the wish to leave the artificial city.
But it tastes like candy, bittersweet
Despite difficulties, there is a sweet and addictive quality.
So I take what I want and leave what I need
Taking what is desired and leaving what is necessary.
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
Familiarity with the city, yet getting lost in it.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Expressing a strong desire for the aftertaste.
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
Despite disliking it now, there is a commitment to continue.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Reiteration of the strong desire for the aftertaste.
We know this city too well but we get lost in it
Repeating the theme of being familiar but lost in the city.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Commitment to persist despite current dissatisfaction.
We hate it now but we will never call it quits
Reiteration of the commitment to continue despite dislike.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Expressing a strong desire for the aftertaste.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Repetition emphasizing the desire for the aftertaste.
Some nights I wanna leave this place together
Expressing a shared desire to leave the current situation together.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Reiterating the strong desire for the aftertaste.
What a shame these years don't last forever
Reflecting on the transient nature of time.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Reiteration of the strong desire for the aftertaste.
I knew this city so well but I got lost in it
Despite knowing the city well, there is a sense of being lost.
(It's all I want, all I crave, give me that, aftertaste)
Expressing a strong desire for the aftertaste.
I'm moving on but I would do it all again
Moving on, but acknowledging a willingness to relive the experience.
