This City
Embracing the Night: Our Journey through the City Lights
Lyrics
This, this city
The repetition emphasizes a strong focus on the city, setting the tone for the lyrics.
This, this city
-This, this city
-This, this, this, this city
-I'm rolling out of my bed
The singer describes a modest lifestyle but highlights the richness of love over material wealth.
Call up a couple of friends
-Don't got a lot of coin in our pockets
-But we got enough love to be fed
-And maybe one of the kings
Reference to social status, feeling invisible like a ghost, and not being noticed by others.
Maybe someone between
-But most days we just living like a ghost
-Somebody that nobody can see
-But tonight, this city is ours
Celebrating the ownership of the city, emphasizing that it belongs to the ordinary people, not just celebrities.
This, this city is ours
-We're not famous, we're not stars
-This, this city is ours
-Tonight we're gonna get in my car
-And that's just the start
-We're not famous, we're not stars
-But this city, this city is ours
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition intensifies the sense of excitement and ownership of the city.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-So now we take to the streets
Expressing a sense of anticipation and possibility as the singer explores the city streets.
We're gonna see who we meet
-I can feel it in the air there's somebody to be
-And that somebody is me
-And maybe we should all go out and kiss a stranger
Suggesting spontaneous and daring actions, breaking away from conventional behavior.
Flirt with some danger
-Maybe we should break some rules of good behavior
-Save that for later
-But tonight, this city is ours
Reiteration of the joy and possession of the city, redefining fame and stardom.
This, this city is ours
-We're not famous, we're not stars
-This, this city is ours
-Tonight we're gonna get in my car
-And that's just the start
-We're not famous, we're not stars
-But this city, this city is ours
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition heightens the energetic and celebratory atmosphere of the song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
-Yeah, yeah, yeah

Nobody gonna tell us no
-We can go where we want to
-Nobody, nobody
-We can go where we want to
-Nobody gonna tell us no
-We can go where we want to
-Nobody, no-no-nobody-body
-Tonight, this city is ours
Reaffirming the connection of the people to the city, emphasizing that it truly belongs to them.
This, this city is ours
-We're not famous, we're not stars
