City Of Angels
▼30 Seconds To Mars Lyrics

There was truth, there was consequence, against you
Your actions had consequences and you faced the truth.

A weak defense, then there's me
I see that you cannot defend yourself and I stand here, ready to fight for what's right.

I'm 17, and looking for a fight
I'm young and full of passion to stand up for what's right, even if it means fighting for it.

All my life, I was never there just a ghost, running scared
I've always felt like a ghost, never really present, always scared and never taking risks or standing up for myself.

Here our dreams are made, the one
This place is where our dreams come true, the one place where we can make something of ourselves.

Lost in the city of angels
Feeling lost in the sprawling metropolis that is Los Angeles.

Down in the comfort of strangers, I
Finding comfort in the unfamiliar, in those who offer me shelter and kindness.

Found myself in the fire burnt hills
Discovering myself in the aftermath of something that was burned down, perhaps something that was important to me or my community.

In the land of a billion lights
In a place where there are so many lights, so many opportunities to shine and be seen.

Bought my fate, straight from hell
I've made choices that have set me on a difficult path, perhaps one that originated from a darker place.

A second sight is paid off well
Having a different perspective and being able to see things from a unique angle has served me well.

For a mother, a brother and me
I'm fighting for my family, for those who support me and believe in me.

The silver of the lake at night
The serene beauty of the lake at night, its shimmering waters perhaps evoking a sense of calm and peace.

The hills of Hollywood on fire
The iconic Hollywood hills, a place of glamour, fame and dreams, now burning down, perhaps representing some kind of destruction or change.

A boulevard of hope and dreams
A place where hope and dreams seem possible, where many come to make it big and achieve their aspirations.

And streets made of desire
A city filled with temptation, where many come to fulfill their desires and aspirations.

I found myself in the fire burnt hills, In the land of a billion lights
Once again finding myself in a place of destruction and upheaval, but surrounded by countless opportunities and possibilities.

(Angels)
Perhaps a reference to the 'City of Angels,' or the belief that angels are present and watching over us.

I am home, home, home, home
Despite the chaos and destruction, I feel a sense of belonging and home in this place.

One life, one love, live
Emphasizing the importance of living life to the fullest and pursuing love and passion.

The city of angels
A title given to Los Angeles, possibly for its size, vibrancy, and diversity.
