In the City
Astroboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spent my three minutes of gold
Talking to no one
I’m coming on strong
I said i’m coming on strong
Alright!
I lost you three hours ago
Talking to no one
I’m coming on strong
I said i’m coming on strong
As i walk through the corridor
Take me i’m going nowhere
I’ll follow you wherever you wish to be
The colours of the sunshine make me happy
You’re walking on the sun
I’m in the city
You lost me three hours ago
I waste my time under the snow
I’m getting cold now
I’m moving so fast
I said i’m moving so fast
Alright!
I hope you find your way back home
I hope you know where do we go
I’m going nowhere
I’m moving so fast
And i don’t even wanna stop
Take me i’m going nowhere
I’ll follow you wherever you wish to be
The colours of the sunshine make me happy
You’re walking on the sun
I’m in the city
The song "In the City" by Astroboy seems like it's about a person who lost someone important to them hours ago and they've been searching for them since then. As they walk through the corridor, they talk about spending their three minutes of gold talking to no one and coming on strong. The lyrics are quite repetitive with the same lines repeated twice in each verse, but it is the hook that sticks in one's mind. The hook talks about being taken and following someone wherever they wish to be, happy with the colors of the sunshine, while they are in the city.
It's not clear what the city represents, but the lyrics could suggest someone trying to find themselves in the city or trying to find their way back, and in the process, they may lose someone close, possibly a lover. The lines, "You’re walking on the sun, I’m in the city," suggest that the other person is happy, enjoying their life and love, whereas the singer is lost, and the city seems to be a place of confusion and lack of direction.
The chorus, "Take me I’m going nowhere, I’ll follow you wherever you wish to be," shows the singer's desire to be taken away from the confusion and the city, and go wherever the other person wants them to go. In conclusion, "In the City" is a song about a person trying to find their way out of confusion and searching for direction, while holding onto hope that the person they lost will eventually find their way back.
