Cappuccino City
Cappuccino City Chronicles: Nostalgia, Neon Lights, and Short Memory
Lyrics
Stepping into the town
Entering the town
Ignore the stink of burning leather
Ignoring an unpleasant smell, possibly metaphorical
'Cause you're young and right down
Feeling youthful and in the moment
Radio sings, cool life forever
Music on the radio suggests a perpetually cool lifestyle
And depending on the weather, you'll be there
Being present depending on the circumstances
Your shadow tall, you lean against the wall
Standing confidently but casually
Waiting on the call
Waiting expectantly
Waiting on the call that will set it out
Anticipating a significant call or event
At the top of the hour, meet me at Cappuccino City
Arranging to meet at a place named "Cappuccino City"
Roaches climbing the wall, coffee is cold
Describing a rundown environment (roaches, cold coffee, poor service)
Service is shitty, in neon light you look so pretty
Despite the setting, under neon lights, someone appears attractive
As you say
Indicating something someone says
Your race is run, no longer having fun
Feeling exhausted or no longer finding joy in activities
You're not the only one
Realizing others share similar feelings or experiences
Not the only one with short memory
Not the only one forgetting or having a short memory
You're not the only one with short memory
Reiterating the idea of shared forgetfulness
FM on the stereo
Music playing on the stereo
Belgians in the Congo
Mention of historical events, potentially with colonial connotations
Short memory
Reiteration of having a short memory or forgetfulness
Cappuccino City
Referencing the place "Cappuccino City" again
