The City
City Dreams: Love Lost Under Urban Skies
Lyrics
The city was too late for us
The city was not a suitable place for our relationship.
I got there and you wanted to get away
Upon arriving in the city, you expressed a desire to escape from it.
The city was too grey for us
The city seemed dull or gloomy in the context of our connection.
We slept through the blue skies under clouds of the duvet
We spent time together, oblivious to the vibrant blue skies, wrapped under the duvet.
And the streets were all to straight for us
The city's streets seemed too rigid or lacking in spontaneity for us.
A parade of nobility seen from above
Observing the city from above, it resembled a procession of nobility.
But the city is to blame for us and what was our love
The city is held responsible for the challenges in our relationship and the demise of our love.
The city makes you make a fuss
The city compels people to create a disturbance or commotion.
It's places to meet up under the light
Various places in the city serve as meeting points under the illumination.
The city's got its stake in us
The city has a significant influence or investment in our lives.
It's keeping receipts of our hello's and our hi's
The city keeps records of our greetings and interactions.
And everything is made of dust
All things, including relationships, are transient or fragile.
From the backs of the comets to the little street mice
Everything, from cosmic elements to small street creatures, is ephemeral like dust.
The city takes so long to get quiet and lust wasn't sleeping that night
The city takes a long time to become quiet, and passion was active during that night.
Before we knew it we knew it was right
We realized that our relationship was right for us before fully understanding it.
Before we blew it I didn't know that we might
Before making a mistake, I didn't anticipate the possibility that we might fail.
And now it's somebody's story and I'm not sorry that it's mine
Now, our past is part of someone else's narrative, and I don't regret it being mine.
Before we knew it we were out of time
We lost track of time before realizing it.
The city says 'oh if I could'
The city expresses a desire, perhaps regret or nostalgia.
But the rain-soaked battered view makes you not sure
The rain-soaked view creates uncertainty about being in your neighborhood.
Am I walking in your neighbourhood?
Questioning if I am walking through the area where you live.
I was just driving by the rained-out streets where we once were
Passing through streets dampened by rain, reminiscent of our shared moments.
And even though it's way too late
Despite it being too late, time appears to stand still at the place we were together.
Time seems to have stopped still where we stood
You returned to the city, and I hope you are doing well somewhere within it.
You ran back in and you're somewhere in the city
(No specific information provided in the lyrics for line 28.)
You're somewhere in the city and I hope you're good
You are currently located somewhere in the city, and I wish you well.
