Sin City
Exploring Urban Desires: The Synthetics' Sin City Revelations
Lyrics
How many times today
Reflecting on the frequency of isolation or exclusion experienced today.
Have others stayed away?
Noticing the absence of others and their avoidance.
Better than count the days
Choosing not to dwell on the passage of time but to focus on the present.
I'm stepping out today
Deciding to venture out or take action today.
The city alone
Expressing the less appealing side of the city when the streets are quiet or desolate.
Ain't too pretty when the streets are low
Recognizing the unattractive nature of the city during its quieter moments.
I know this city alone
Acknowledging familiarity with navigating the city alone.
But I didn't know where each street could go
Realizing a lack of knowledge about where each street leads.
There is a continent
Referring to a larger world beyond the confines of the immediate surroundings.
Out of these little gates
Describing an opportunity to explore beyond current limitations.
And I've got time today
Having the luxury of time to spare today.
I'm getting out today
Making a decision to go out or take action today.
The city alone
Reiterating the challenges of the city when the streets are not vibrant.
Ain't too pretty when the street's are low
Reemphasizing the unattractiveness of the city during less lively times.
I know this city alone
Being aware of navigating the city alone.
But I didn't know where each street could go
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the destinations of each street.
But if you're sitting alone
Addressing someone sitting alone, possibly sharing a common experience.
And you like the smell of cheap cologne
Noting an appreciation for the scent of inexpensive cologne.
I know this city to go
Confirming knowledge of navigating the city but not relying solely on instincts.
But I couldn't go on instinct alone
Acknowledging the limitations of relying only on intuition in the city.
That feeling when we own sin city
Describing the sensation of ownership or empowerment in Sin City.
That feeling when we're in sin city
Repeating the feeling of being in control or powerful in Sin City.
That feeling when we all getting pretty
Capturing the experience of everyone becoming attractive or appealing.
That feeling when we own city
Reiterating the sense of ownership or dominance over the city.
I'm talking to a girl, she's pretty
Engaging in conversation with a pretty girl.
She's prettier than her, sin city
Comparing the attractiveness of the girl to the allure of Sin City.
That feeling when we all getting dizzy
Expressing a shared experience of becoming dizzy or intoxicated in Sin City.
That feeling when we own sin city
Repeating the sense of ownership or empowerment in Sin City.
