Angel City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk to me what are you doing what are you
Thinking right now set me free I'm just a prisoner
To you and time goes by I'm still waiting forever
And a day boy I thought I saw you yesterday
I thought those words I herd you say
When I look at the sunrise sunlight, nothing
Feels awake when your living this feeling
Don't ever let me go when I look at the
Starlight it feels right your bodies on my mind ill set
You free, I'll set you free
Look at me what are you thinking tell me what your
Seeing let me go if there's nothing you

An time goes by I'm still waiting
Forever and a day boy I thought I saw you yesterday
When I look at the sunrise, sunlight nothing feels awake when your living this
Feeling don't ever let me go when I look at the
Starlight it
Feels right your bodies on my
Mind ill set you free
Ill set you free.
Thinking right now set me free I'm just a prisoner
To you and time goes by I'm still waiting forever
And a day boy I thought I saw you yesterday
I thought those words I herd you say
When I look at the sunrise sunlight, nothing
Feels awake when your living this feeling
Starlight it feels right your bodies on my mind ill set
You free, I'll set you free
Look at me what are you thinking tell me what your

Mind ill set you free
Ill set you free.
The lyrics of Angel City's song "Sunrise" express a sense of being trapped in a relationship and the longing for freedom. The singer is asking their partner to communicate their thoughts and intentions, to release them from the hold of time and the uncertainty of their emotions. The repeated phrase "I'm still waiting forever and a day" suggests that the singer has been waiting for a decisive action or change in the relationship, but nothing seems to happen. The verses present a possible memory of the past encounter with the partner and the hope for a shared future. The chorus, on the other hand, highlights the power of nature to awaken and inspire the singer's feelings. The sunrise and starlight create a sense of comfort and belonging, but also an awareness of the fleeting moments of joy. In the end, the singer affirms their willingness to let go and set the partner free, perhaps as a way to break the stalemate and find a new direction for themselves.
One interesting fact about the song "Sunrise" is that it is a dance-pop cover version of a rock ballad by 200 Degrees. The original song was released in 1998 and became a hit in Australia, where Angel City (formerly known as Wamdue Project) chose to record their version. The remake was released in 2005 and reached the top 20 in the UK singles chart. Another fact is that the song features a sample from the classic disco track "Everybody Dance" by Chic, which adds a funky dimension to the electronic production. The lyrics of "Sunrise" were written by Markus Binapfl, the lead singer of Angel City, who has also collaborated with other dance acts such as Dave Spoon and his own project called Housekeeping. The music video for "Sunrise" shows a group of young people dancing and having fun in different locations, such as a park, a beach, and a club. The video was directed by Rami Hachache, who has also worked with artists such as Kylie Minogue and Katy Perry.

To you and time goes by I'm still waiting forever
My existence, goes by waiting for your arrival, and it goes on forever.

Just yesterday, my eyes deceived me into believing it was you boy, I miss you.
When I look at the sunrise sunlight, nothing
The sunrise and sunlight have no significance, but life goes on anyway.

Don't ever detach me when the hues and shades of starlight mesmerize me.
