New York Life
Embracing the Heartbeat of a New York Life
Lyrics
Another New York morning
Beginning a new day in New York
Stories intertwine
Various stories and lives are interconnected
Shoulda heard the New York warning
Ignored or didn't heed a warning about New York
When I let you enter mine
Regret about allowing someone into one's life
Seemed to miss the sirens calling
Unaware of dangers signaled by sirens
And the buildings roll their eyes
Buildings metaphorically expressing disapproval
Guess the joke's on me for falling
Realization of being deceived or fooled
For your New York City lie
Deception related to New York City
You're a New York minute
Symbolizing a short-lived experience
Baby I'm a New York life
Contrast between a fleeting moment and a lifelong connection
Got your fix and then you ditched it
Having a taste and then abandoning it
Babe I've been here all my life
Commitment to New York life despite challenges
I'm fated for a New York Life
Fated or destined for a life in New York
Another New York eulogy
A reflection on New York through a eulogy
She said
Introduction to a statement or perspective
The city died so I could live
New York's growth at the expense of something else
New York is for your twenties
New York seen as a place for youthful experiences
I took all it can give
Taking everything New York has to offer
Well
A pause or reflection
One bite won't give you any knowledge
A small experience doesn't provide deep understanding
The boroughs are repulsed
The different parts of New York reacting negatively
Me I bow my head
Acceptance and humility in the face of New York
It humbles me till I repent
Feeling humbled until repentance
The skyline keeps my pulse
The cityscape influencing the person's heartbeat
You're a New York minute
Reiteration of the fleeting nature of New York experiences
Baby I'm a New York life
Comparison of a transient moment to a lifelong commitment
Got your fix and then you ditched it
Experiencing something and then abandoning it
Babe I've been here all my life
Devotion to New York despite challenges
I'm fated for a New York Life
Predestined or destined for a life in New York
Woah
An expression of emotion, possibly surprise or realization
Woah
Repetition for emphasis or reflection
You were never into it
Someone not fully engaged or interested in New York
I was never gonna quit
Determination to persist in the New York lifestyle
I'm fated for a New York Life
Confirmation of being destined for a New York life
You were never into it
Reiteration of someone's lack of interest in New York
I was never gonna quit
Personal determination to remain in New York
I'm fated for a New York Life
Confirmation of being destined for a New York life
You were never into it
Repetition of someone not fully engaged in New York
I was never gonna quit
Determination to persist in the New York lifestyle
I'm fated for a New York
Confirmation of being destined for a New York life
Fated for a New York
Anticipation or readiness for a New York life
I'm ready for my New York Life
Expression of preparedness for a life in New York
