Lyrics
Through the shadows of the old high rise
Navigating through the darker aspects of urban life represented by old high-rise buildings.
Cross the factory floors and severed ties
Traveling across industrial spaces and broken connections, suggesting a sense of detachment.
Some place, somewhere there are bluer skies
Expressing the hope that somewhere there are happier and more peaceful circumstances.
My Lover Lies Under
Referring to the presence of the speaker's lover lying beneath the challenges described.
Pass the battle hymns of late-night bars
Moving past the noise and conflicts often found in late-night bars.
Through the endless lines of motor cars
Progressing through the crowded traffic, symbolizing the difficulties of life.
There's a quiet night of quiet stars
Describing a serene night with stars, suggesting a contrast to the chaos mentioned earlier.
My Lover Lies Under
Reiterating the comforting idea that the lover is underneath these challenges.
I do believe I've lost my faith in Hollywood
Expressing disillusionment with Hollywood and its unattainable dreams.
Those dreams upon the screen aren't for the likes of us
Acknowledging that the glamorous dreams portrayed in movies may not be accessible to everyone.
But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love
Believing in the existence of a genuine love, though it may not align with Hollywood fantasies.
But sometimes I wonder
Expressing uncertainty and doubt despite the belief in true love.
Pass the warring tongues and prying eyes
Passing through conflicts and intrusive gazes from others.
Through the subways and the city lights
Moving through the complexities of urban life symbolized by subways and city lights.
Some place somewhere there are bluer skies
Reiterating the hope for a better place with brighter skies despite the challenges.
My Lover Lies Under
Emphasizing the idea that the lover is still present beneath these struggles.
I do believe I've lost my faith in Hollywood
Repeating the disillusionment with Hollywood and its idealized portrayals.
Those dreams upon the screen aren't for the likes of us
Acknowledging the unattainability of Hollywood dreams for ordinary individuals.
But I swear somewhere there is a heart that I could love
Expressing the belief in finding a true heart to love, outside the realm of Hollywood.
But sometimes I wonder
Repeating the theme of uncertainty and questioning, even in the presence of potential love.
Through the shadows of the old high rise
Returning to the imagery of shadows around old high-rise structures.
Through the footnotes of self-sacrifice
Referencing the sacrifices made, as indicated in the footnotes of one's own life story.
There's a sunset in our paradise
Describing a beautiful moment, a sunset, within the metaphorical paradise shared with the lover.
My Lover Lies Under
Reiterating the presence of the lover beneath the challenges and sacrifices.
But sometimes I wonder
Continuing the theme of occasional doubt and questioning despite the overall positive imagery.
