Not enough air for me to breath in this town

There's not enough room to be

Indicating a confined space in comparison to the vastness of Los Angeles, symbolizing limitations.

In all of Los Angeles

Just a million words that never make a sound

I will burn this city down

Burn this city down

I've learned to measure

My miles in minutes

Reflecting on experiences and personal growth, measuring time in a meaningful way.

Learned the difference between good and sunny days

Acknowledging the contrast between positive and challenging moments in life.

I've had the pleasure

Of a brand new existence

And you catch yourself thinking

Sitting here wishing

When will the purple line make it past Western?

Maybe we can go the distance
