In Asako Toki's song "City Lights," the lyrics describe the city life through the perspective of one individual. The first two lines, "Your swaying eyes / City lights," depict the sway and movement of the individual's eyes, while observing the flashing lights of the city. The next two lines, "Flashing window lights / City lights," describes the twinkling lights coming from apartment windows. The lyrics seem to be painting a picture of a bustling city that never sleeps, driving home its reputation for bright lights and constant movement.
The following lines, "Hiding those who are alone / City lights / You are searching," suggest that despite the hustle and bustle of the urban environment, people still feel alone and disconnected. The City Lights are symbolic of the search for human connection, and the longing for belonging. When "someone waves their hand," the individual is reminded that there is still hope for human connections in the city. The final line, "The city lights are a salvation for the metropolis," suggests that while life in the city can be challenging, the bright lights are a beacon of hope in the night.
