Los Angeles
Leaving the City of Angels: A Journey of Broken Dreams and Healing Hearts
Lyrics
Oh Los Angeles we leave you now
Expressing the departure from Los Angeles.
At the setting of your skies
Referencing the sunset in Los Angeles.
As we leave the comfort of your ground
Leaving the familiar and secure ground of Los Angeles.
With your angels we will fly
Anticipating a journey accompanied by the guidance of angels.
Well you carried us in broken dreams
Reflecting on past struggles and challenges carried by Los Angeles.
Like a mother does her sons
Comparing Los Angeles to a nurturing mother carrying her children.
We were scattered 'cross your dirty streets
Describing a scattered and struggling existence in the city.
We were dying one by one
Expressing a sense of individual decline and mortality.
And you held us in your city lights
Acknowledging the solace found in the city lights during dark times.
When our eyes had lost the stars
Describing a loss of direction or hope, symbolized by lost stars.
And we made our peace with lonely nights
Acceptance of solitude during challenging nights.
And you healed our broken hearts
Recognizing Los Angeles as a healer of emotional wounds.
Well they say the big one's gonna come
Referring to a potential catastrophic event ("the big one").
And you'll fall into the sea
Suggesting the city's vulnerability to natural disasters.
But we will know that then your work is done
Implying that Los Angeles's purpose is fulfilled in such an event.
And your angels will go free
Believing that after a significant event, the angels will be liberated.
And your angels will go free
Reiterating the idea of angels being set free.
And your angels will go free
Repeating the anticipation of angels' liberation.
And your angels will go free
Reaffirming the expectation that angels will be set free.
