1)Berlin is an American new wave band featuring lead singer Terri Nunn. Berlin was formed in Orange County, Southern California in 1979.
Their first single, "A Matter of Time," was released in 1980 on I.R.S. Records and featured replacement vocalist Virginia Macolino on lead vocals after Nunn had temporarily left the band to pursue an acting career. Toni Childs also sang for Berlin briefly before Nunn rejoined the act and their indie released singles and EP Pleasure Victim became a regional hit in LA selling 30,000 copies before they signed with Geffen.
Their first significant hit was the controversial synth-driven "Sex (I'm A...)" (1982), which was banned by some radio & tv stations due to its graphic lyrics and risque video. They had two other early hits: "The Metro", which was later covered by System of a Down, Alkaline Trio, and Sleepthief; and "No More Words", who's subsequent video saw Terri Nunn and bandmates re-enact a Bonnie and Clyde style car chase and shoot-out. Despite their new wave dance club roots, it was the MOR ballad "Take My Breath Away" (from the movie Top Gun) that became their best-selling platinum selling single in 1986.
Aside from Nunn, the core members of the band were founding member John Crawford (primary songwriter, bass guitar & keyboards), and David Diamond (keyboards & guitar). Other members of the band included Ric Olsen (lead guitar), Matt Reid (keyboards), Rob Brill (drums) and Rod Learned (drums). Berlin officially disbanded in 1987 and Nunn retained the legal rights to usage of the band's name after legal wranglings with the founding member of the group, John Crawford. Terri Nunn recreated Berlin (with a new lineup of musicians) in 1999.
They were featured recently on the VH1 show, Bands Reunited where they all agreed to get back together to not only reunite as friends but as a band. They played one show at The Roxy in California to a sold-out crowd.
Terri Nunn has said she was somewhat taken aback by the success of "Take My Breath Away" on Adult Contemporary radio stations, since none of Berlin's singles up to that point had been suitable for AC radio. She is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Hits by Fred Bronson as saying that the first radio station she heard playing it was "something my mom listens to."

Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Takes a look as he passes through the wall
On & on electrically & flowing
Backward stance head hung low
Don't you raise your head into the golden flow
Do you dare, do you dare to follow
City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights can terrorize
Gazing on in a dream
--------try to tell you what they mean
-------------------
--------in the shadows
still I wonder what could be the matter
is it real or fantasy ---------
City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights will light the skies
City Lights can terrorize
City Lights will guard the night
like an angel with a flaming sword
A warning to the wild & weak
that even the best things can be so hard
There again the scene unfolds
----------light it seems so very cold
-------------------------
-------light of day
all this world will have gently slipped away
disappearing in the sunlight
City Lights will burn your eyes
City Lights will light the skies
City Lights can terrorize
City Lights will guard the night
like an angel with a flaming sword
A warning to the wild & weak
that even the best things can be so hard
The lyrics to Berlin's song "City Lights" describe a hypnotic and alluring cityscape that can be both captivating and dangerous. The opening lines paint a surreal atmosphere, with a man entering through a door and passing through a wall - indicating a sense of disorientation or magic. The subsequent lines convey the sense that the city is alive and flowing with electricity, with the singer warning against getting too close to the golden flow, lest it swallow you up entirely. The lyrics then shift to a dreamlike state, as the singer observes figures trying to communicate something to him, but he is unable to discern their message. This sense of confusion and dislocation leads back to the refrain of the song, emphasizing the power and danger of the city lights, which can both mesmerize and terrorize.
Overall, the lyrics have a poetic quality that captures the urban experience, particularly the sense of being engulfed by the bright lights and cacophony of the city. The song speaks to the thrill and peril of becoming immersed in a new environment, and the sense of being overwhelmed by sensory input in a fast-paced and constantly evolving world. Ultimately, "City Lights" conveys a sense of awe and reverence for the beauty and power of the city, while also highlighting its potential to swallow you up whole.
Line by Line Meaning
A man walks in through the door
A person enters a room through a portal
Takes a look as he passes through the wall
The person glances while walking through an obstacle
On & on electrically & flowing
Continuously moving with energy and fluidity
Backward stance head hung low
Postured backwards with a lowered head
Don't you raise your head into the golden flow
Do not look up towards the positive current
Do you dare, do you dare to follow
Are you brave enough to pursue this path
City Lights will burn your eyes
The brightness of urban lighting can be overwhelming
City Lights will light the skies
The illumination of city streets illuminates the heavens
City Lights can terrorize
Artificial light can cause fear or anxiety
Gazing on in a dream
Looking at something while in a state of unconsciousness
---try to tell you what they mean
Attempting to communicate the significance of these visions
--------in the shadows
Obscured or hidden within the darkness
still I wonder what could be the matter
Despite this uncertainty, confusion remains
is it real or fantasy ----------
Is this existence tangible or an imagined realm
City Lights will guard the night
The glow of city illumination serves as a protective sentinel
like an angel with a flaming sword
Symbolic of a heavenly being armed with a weapon
A warning to the wild & weak
A cautionary message to those who are vulnerable and unprepared
that even the best things can be so hard
Even aspects of life that are desirable may come with difficulties
There again the scene unfolds
Once more, the situation is replayed
----------light it seems so very cold
The illumination appears to have a chilly temperature
-------------------------
No discernable meaning can be attributed to this line
-------light of day
Illumination during the daytime hours
all this world will have gently slipped away
This existence will have softly faded into oblivion
disappearing in the sunlight
Gradually vanishing during the day
