57th Street
Lost in the City Lights: A Journey to 57th Street
Lyrics
Well I'm outside
Describing being outdoors
Just past the second streetlight
Just past a specific streetlight
Where the faces change but the race remains persistent
People change but the competition remains constant
Cigarette Smoke
Symbolizing a pervasive element
Lives inside of your clothes
Suggesting an intimate connection with someone
From navigating the way through the maze that sent you back home
Metaphorically navigating difficulties returning home
Blurred lines
Indicating uncertainty or ambiguity
Can you hear me
Questioning if communication is possible
I can't seem to get through
Expressing difficulty in making contact
If you could find your way back to me
Desiring a return to a previous state or relationship
We could spend our lives in the city
Envisioning a life together in the city
And relive those nights you were with me
Recalling past moments shared
Oh please come back to 57th Street
Specifically asking for a return to 57th Street
Maybe if the ground shook
Imagining a dramatic event as a chance for reunion
And by chance the city ended up
Imagining a scenario where circumstances align
At your place
Envisioning being together in a familiar place
We could lie in the fields and look at all the tall buildings
Desiring shared experiences amidst urban surroundings
You come to me when I'm sleeping
Describing a connection during unconsciousness
And when I wake I see reality masked
Seeing reality as distorted upon waking
By a lucid state
Referring to a clear yet dreamlike state
You keep calling me back to where I no longer want to be
Being pulled back to an unwanted place or memory
Blurred lines
Reiteration of uncertainty or ambiguity
Can you hear me
Questioning communication once more
I can't seem to get through
Expressing continued difficulty in reaching out
If you could find your way back to me
Yearning for a reunion or reconnection
We could spend our lives in the city
Desiring a shared life in the city
And relive those nights you were with me
Reflecting on past shared moments
Oh please come back to 57th Street
Specifically asking to return to 57th Street once more
Blurred lines
Reiteration of uncertainty or ambiguity
Can you hear me
Questioning communication again
I can't seem to get through
Continued expression of difficulty in making contact
If you could find your way back to me
Reiterating the desire for reunion or reconnection
We could spend our lives in the city
Desire for a shared life in the city, echoing previous lines
And relive those nights you were with me
Reflecting on past moments once again
Oh please come back to fifty
Requesting a return to fifty (a possible typo of 57th)
Please come back to fifty
Repetition of the request for return
Oh please come back to 57th Street
Final plea to return to 57th Street
