Manhattan Is Back
Manhattan Vibes: A Journey Through Urban Dreams
Lyrics
Some future superstar walking down the street
Observing a potential future celebrity walking down the street.
Sidewalk's steaming two cops on the beat
Street scene with steaming sidewalks and two police officers on patrol.
International flavors ladies looking fine
Diverse international influences, attractive women.
I think I'm floating I can't feel my spine
A surreal feeling of floating, disconnection, or euphoria.
Fools gold on my fingers why you waste your time
Critiquing someone for investing time in worthless pursuits.
Some kind of junkie dude on a citibike
An addict on a Citibike, possibly a metaphor for a futile journey.
I was feeling home runs but all I got is strikes
Expectations of success but facing failures (strikes).
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Warning about the risks of limited knowledge in the surroundings.
Round here round here what you don't know can't hurt you
Emphasizing the potential harm of ignorance in the environment.
What you don't know can't hurt you
Reiteration of the idea that ignorance has no negative consequences.
Is it 1984
Reference to the year 1984, perhaps suggesting surveillance or control.
Someone's peering through my door
Feeling watched or monitored by an external presence.
Did I miss your tele call
Uncertainty about missing a phone call (tele call).
I don't know remember you at all
Memory loss or inability to recall someone from the past.
Go on and roll the dice hope you got the bread
Encouragement to take risks, possibly in a financial context.
Look at that apartment man… what a spread
Admiring a luxurious apartment or lifestyle.
Why take an uber car when we can walk
Suggesting the preference for walking instead of using an Uber.
Tape up your blisters man this city is a catwalk
A metaphorical runway, implying the city as a fashion show.
Manhattan skyline slipstream grooves
Describing the beauty of the Manhattan skyline and the rhythm of life.
Deliver the rush we got the moves
Delivering excitement and energy, having the necessary skills.
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Reiteration of the risks associated with limited knowledge.
Round here round here what you don't know can't hurt you
Re-emphasizing the potential harm of ignorance.
What you don't know can't hurt you
Reiteration that not knowing something has no negative consequences.
Is it 1984
Another reference to the year 1984, maintaining a theme of surveillance.
Someone's peering through my door
Feeling observed or scrutinized through a door.
Did I miss your tele call
Uncertainty about missing another phone call (tele call).
I don't know remember you at all
Continued lack of recollection of someone from the past.
Whoa o o o o o o o ohhhh
Expression of emotion or frustration (vocalization).
Whoa o o o o o o o ohhhh
Continued expression of emotion or frustration (vocalization).
Round here round here a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing
Reiteration of the risks associated with limited knowledge.
Round here round here what you don't know can't hurt you
Re-emphasizing the potential harm of ignorance.
What you don't know can't hurt you
Reiteration that not knowing something has no negative consequences.
Is it 1984

Final repetition of memory loss and inability to remember someone.
