City Lights
李艺彤 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

你是我世界 City lights
星空褪色的時候 城市正在失眠
白光灑下很惺忪 恍惚的四周
握着空氣的右手 什麼關心囉嗦 撇一邊
多細碎 想說出口都不會

獨自走路好孤單
下雨天沒人撐傘
想象有你好浪漫
在我身邊才溫暖

Wanna be known
凌晨的街燈 無奈在守候
Wanna be known
雀躍的藍火 警惕卻想伸手
眼前 熄滅 是與否 都隨便 看不見 順直覺走
下一個路口
微弱的溫柔 照亮我也足夠

悸動的訊號 相遇的寫照
附帶了 一種叫做鼠尾草的味道
凌亂的 書中可能有寫到
清秀的 專屬單戀宣告
悄悄默背好 對方的喜好
下一秒 把這些都調成專屬記號
或許 這一切來得剛好 如願的預兆

Wanna be known
凌晨的街燈 無奈在守候
Wanna be known
雀躍的藍火 警惕卻想伸手
眼前 熄滅 是與否 都隨便 看不見 順直覺走
下一個路口
微弱的溫柔 照亮我足夠

Wanna be known
城市的霓虹 零星在招手
Wanna be known
夜快要落幕 夢見海市蜃樓
終於 發現 手心裡 這光點 全世界 據為己有
I will let you know




請照亮天空 別再獨自遠走
Wanna love you now

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of 李艺彤's song "City Lights" highlight the singer's infatuation with a person who has become her whole world. As she looks out into the city, she notes how the lights are still shining even as the stars in the sky are fading away. The scene is melancholy, almost as if the city is suffering from insomnia. As she walks through the city alone, she realizes how lonely she truly is. Even when it's raining, and she has no one to shelter her, she imagines a romantic scenario with this person she's thinking about. She longs for their presence, for their warmth, and for the kind of love that can make her feel whole.


The chorus of the song, "Wanna be known," suggests a sense of longing to be recognized by this person. The late street lamps and alert blue lights only remind her of their absence, but the singer keeps walking with the hope of finding a glimpse of her lover around the next corner. She dreams of knowing everything about them, of memorizing their preferences and building a connection that feels unique and personal. And as she reaches the end of the song, the singer finds the courage to ask for what she wants--to be recognized and loved by the person who has become her whole world.
