Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der går en mand som ik' har nogen selvdisciplin
Måske ' han boozer, måske ' han Narkoman
Måske han blot en helt almindelig Pink Floyd Fan
Der går en mand som at der' helt til grin
Der går en mand med alt for meget selvdisciplin
Måske ' han ligeglad, en rigtig Psykopat
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Der går en mand som at der er helt til grin
Der går en mand med alt for meget selvdisciplin
Jeg tror han pumper, spiser kun kreatin
Og lige nu har han lommen fuld af kokain
Og han er gået I stå nu
Han ligger hovedet på skrå nu
Han går I Brugsen, måske' han kleptoman
Måske min ven fra internet jeg troede var en dame
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Bright lights, big City
Yeah
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Yeah
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
Early morning, late nights
Big City, bright lights
I'm on the Corner of Avenues
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Bright lights, big City
Yeah
The song "City Lights" by マクロスMACROSS 82-99 feat. Kamei is about observing different kinds of people in a big city. The lyrics describe two men walking on the streets - one who is perceived to have no self-discipline and may be an alcoholic, drug addict, or a Pink Floyd fan, while the other is seen as having too much self-discipline and may be a psychopath or a health fanatic. The chorus repeatedly mentions the bright lights of the big city, emphasizing the contrast between the darkness of the night and the luminosity of the environment. The song concludes with a mention of the singer himself, standing on the corner of a street under the city lights.
The song's lyrics attempt to capture the essence of life in a metropolitan city, where people from different backgrounds coexist and intersect with each other without any apparent connection. The contrast between the two men in the poem serves as a representation of the diverse range of individuals who inhabit the city. The repetition of the phrase "Bright lights, big city" creates an image of the brightness and vibrancy of a metropolitan setting while highlighting the anonymity of the people that live within it. The song's repeating chorus and catchy melody create an upbeat and energetic mood that reflects the liveliness of a city that never sleeps.
