City
Beauty's Confusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are fading
You were once mine
Never unkind
A long sigh
A soft caress
Now a silence
An emptiness
Staring through
The past I knew
I miss you
Streets are empty
Space surrounding
Sighs soft lullabies
Blurred reflection
A passing perfection
Scarring deep inside
Need a place to hide
From the rain
The cold breeze
Brings you back to me
I smell you in the air
I'm broken beyond repair
Patience
In short supply
I can't replace you
I wouldn't want to try
I'm alone and maybe
It's what should be
Do you miss me
Isolation will repeat
I feel so incomplete
Streets are empty
Space surrounding
Sighs soft lullabies
Blurred reflection
A passing perfection
Scarring deep inside
Need a place to hide from the rain
Streets are empty
Filled with millions
Cold, with empty souls
Searching everywhere
Nothing's ever there
The night inside me grows
I disappear below
Floating higher and higher
A wonderful feeling
Everything around me became suddenly
Unreal
As if in a dream
Streets are empty
Space surrounding
Sighs soft lullabies
Blurred reflection
A passing perfection
Scarring deep inside
Need a place to hide from the rain
Streets are empty
Filled with millions
Cold, with empty souls
Searching everywhere
Nothing's ever there
The night inside me grows
I disappear below
The Beauty's Confusion song "City" talks about a broken heart and the feeling of being alone. The lyrics suggest that the memories the singer had of their partner are slowly fading away, and they are left with a silence and emptiness. The singer longs for their partner and misses them deeply. Despite the loneliness, the singer is hesitant about whether they should reconcile with their partner or not. They feel incomplete and are in search of solace from the pain of their lonely existence.
The image of a city is used throughout the song to symbolize the sense of emptiness, isolation, and the search for a sense of belonging. The city is depicted as empty, with space surrounding it, and filled with people with empty souls. The singer feels lost in this city and desperately needs a place to hide from the pain and isolation that they feel. The chorus emphasizes the singer's feeling of despair and the sense that nothing can ever fill the void left by the absence of their partner.
The song has a melancholic and reflective feel to it. The use of metaphor, imagery, and repetition in the lyrics creates a powerful emotion that is both relatable and moving. The singer's longing for their partner and the pain of separation are presented in a way that is evocative and sympathetic, making it easy for the listener to connect with the emotions being portrayed.

The night inside me grows
The darkness within me increases
I disappear below
I vanish, softly moving downwards
Floating higher and higher
Rising gradually in the air
A wonderful feeling
A pleasant sensation
Everything around me became suddenly
All things around me immediately
Unreal
Seeming not real, like a fantasy
As if in a dream
As if being in a state of subconsciousness
