Downtown
Ariel Posen Lyrics

CITY LIGHTS DON'T SHINE AS BRIGHT AS THEY USED TO
The brightness of the city lights has diminished over time, losing its former glow.

AND THE STREETS, DON'T FEEL THE SAME AS WHEN THEY WERE NEW
The streets no longer evoke the same emotions and sensations as they did in their pristine condition.

FEEL INVISIBLE IN A CROWD
In the midst of a crowd, one experiences a sense of being unseen and unnoticed.

FALL ASLEEP TO THE SOUND
Drifting off to sleep accompanied by the constant noise and commotion of the surroundings.

I'M NEVER GONNA DROWN IT OUT
One is determined to never let the noise overpower their thoughts and emotions.

EVERY TIME I'M BACK I'M REMINDED THAT LOVE LIVES DOWNTOWN (IN MY HEART)
Returning to the downtown area serves as a poignant reminder of where love resides within the depths of one's heart.

TWO MORE STOPS ON THE METRO TO FOURTH AVENUE WHERE I FIRST BROKE DOWN GOT LOST BUT THEN I FOUND YOU AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S DARK AT NIGHT YOU CAN SEE IT IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT
Heading towards Fourth Avenue after overcoming a personal breakdown and feeling lost, but ultimately finding love there. Despite the darkness of the night, love is perceived in a new and optimistic perspective.

EVERY DAY IT CHANGES IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT MY NAME IS BUT LOVE LIVES DOWNTOWN IN MY HEART
Love is unpredictable and constantly evolving, unaware of the individual it belongs to, yet it consistently resides within the depths of one's heart.

THIS BEAT IN MY CHEST IS ALL I GOT LEFT BUT IT'S HARDER TO LEAVE NOW 'CAUSE LOVE LIVES DOWNTOWN
The only thing remaining in one's chest is the rhythm of their heartbeat, making it difficult to depart from the downtown area due to the presence of love there.

EVEN THOUGH I'LL NEVER HOLD IT IN MY ARMS LOVE LIVES DOWNTOWN IN MY HEART
Although one may never physically embrace love, it perpetually resides within their heart in the downtown area.
