Detroit Has a Skyline
Finding Love in Detroit's Unseen Skyline
Lyrics
As soon as I got home
Feeling an immediate need upon returning home
Reached out for the phone (foam)
Attempting to connect with someone via the phone (possibly a play on words with "foam")
Drank my sleep from a can
Consuming a drink to induce sleep, possibly to escape or numb emotions
Playing track 6 and track 7, again and again
Repetitively listening to track 6 and track 7, suggesting a repetitive and possibly melancholic state
I had a crush
Having a romantic interest
Nothing works out
Expressing frustration or disappointment in relationships
Well I had faith
Having faith in something
Could not have known; don't even say it
Feeling unaware of future challenges; discouraging anticipation
Meet me again, maybe one mile high
Proposing a meeting at an elevated location, symbolizing a desire for a higher or better state
Meet me again, and I won't flake this time
Committing to not cancel or avoid the meeting this time
Meet me again, maybe a year from now
Suggesting a distant future meeting
Meet me again, I think we both remember how
Reflecting on shared memories and the possibility of reconnecting
It was no architect designed this view
Attributing the scenic view to no intentional design, possibly implying randomness or unpredictability in life
He could not have known about you
Highlighting the inability of the creator to foresee the impact of certain elements, possibly related to relationships
Mousy homes, catacombs
Describing modest or unremarkable dwellings and underground structures
Detroit has a skyline too
Asserting that even a place like Detroit, often associated with economic decline, has its own distinctive skyline
Detroit has a skyline too
Repeating the assertion that Detroit has a skyline, emphasizing the unexpected beauty or value in overlooked places
I had a crush
Reiterating the experience of having a romantic interest
Nothing works out
Expressing a sense of hopelessness or frustration in relationships
Well I had faith
Maintaining faith despite challenges or disappointments
Could not have known; don't even say it
Emphasizing the lack of foresight regarding future difficulties; discouraging discussion of it
