Lost in the City
Navigating the Concrete Jungle: Squad Five-O's Tale of Urban Struggles
Lyrics
This filthy city ain't got no heart.
This city is harsh and lacks compassion or empathy.
It took my time, took my money, took my car.
The city has taken away the speaker's time, money, and car, leaving them in a difficult situation.
Left me broken down with nothing better to do.
The speaker is left stranded with no better options or opportunities.
Than wander around with these holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes.
The speaker describes their current state with empty pockets and worn-out shoes.
I walk these city streets.
The speaker walks through the city streets.
Mile after mile of cold concrete.
The city streets are depicted as long stretches of cold concrete.
It all looks the same to me.
Everything in the city appears monotonous and indistinguishable to the speaker.
Lost in the city.
The speaker expresses feeling lost in the city.
The cars pass me by on the avenue.
The speaker observes cars passing by on the avenue.
They don't think twice, they move on by without a clue.
The cars ignore the speaker without understanding their struggles.
Six strings on my back, danger up ahead.
The speaker carries a guitar ("six strings on my back") and senses danger ahead.
I'll keep myself alive if I can keep moving forward and keep my head.
The speaker intends to survive by moving forward and maintaining composure.
And all these people seen so cold.
The people in the city seem emotionally distant and unfeeling.
Their neon castles have al but robbed them of their souls.
Their extravagant lifestyles have deprived them of their true selves.
But I'm just broken down with nothing better to do.
The speaker reiterates being broken down with limited options.
Than wander around with these holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes.
The speaker emphasizes their challenging situation with empty pockets and worn-out shoes.
I'm lost again, lost in the city.
The speaker expresses being lost in the city again.
Ain't it a pity, I'm lost in the city.
The repetition of being lost emphasizes the unfortunate circumstances, and the speaker reflects on the pity of the situation.
