Say Goodbye to the City
Escape the Urban Embrace: Saying Farewell to Familiarity
Lyrics
Let's take a ride, say goodbye to the city
Expressing a desire to leave the city and go on a journey.
I've been here so long - I can't see it anymore
Feeling a sense of familiarity with the city but losing the ability to perceive it.
I've been here so long - I can't feel it anymore
Emphasizing a diminishing emotional connection to the city.
So get in the car, babe - you know that it's alright
Encouraging a companion to join the journey with reassurance.
Get in the car, babe - we're gonna see ourselves tonight
Anticipating a shared experience during the journey.
When we're on the outside - it feels so hard
Describing the difficulty of being on the outside, implying challenges.
There's never an easy way - there's nothing in this world
Highlighting the absence of an easy solution in the world.
When we were on the outside we had something going on,
Reflecting on a past connection or relationship when outside the city.
Something beautiful, something that they can't spoil
Celebrating something beautiful in the past that others couldn't spoil.
But I don't see you now, I don't see you anymore
Expressing the inability to see or perceive the companion anymore, suggesting a loss.
I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I can't see you now, I walk through you and out the door
-I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I can't see you now, I can't see you anymore
-I don't feel it anymore
Reiterating the emotional detachment, not feeling a connection anymore.
I don't know how it's doing anymore
Expressing uncertainty about the current state of affairs.
I walk through it now
Symbolic actions of walking and slipping through, possibly signifying detachment.
I slip through it now
-Can you see me now? Say
Possibly asking if the companion can perceive or understand the speaker's current state.
I don't know how it's doing anymore Oh, I can't see you now
Reiterating the inability to see the companion, emphasizing the loss.
I walk through it now Take all the corners off me
Describing a transformative process of shedding corners and feeling dizzy, possibly metaphorical.
I slip through it now Stop to call me dizzy
-I can't see you now Say¦
Asking or stating the impossibility of seeing the companion.
I don't know how it's doing anymore Oh, I can't see you now
Repeating the theme of not knowing the current state and inability to see the companion.
I walk through you now Take all the corners off me
Continuing the description of transformation and feeling dizzy, reinforcing the sense of detachment.
I slip through it now Stop to call me dizzy
-I can't see you anymore
Summarizing the overall theme of being unable to see the companion anymore.
