My Baby Wants to Leave This City
Blahalouisiana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's so many ways to lose perception
So many answers you don't recognize
I just wanna ask you a final question
Am I wrong or is it guilt
That I see in your lazy eyes

My baby wants to leave this city
And I don't know I don't know what I've done
It's not what you have it's what you give me
And I don't know I don't know if it's enough

My friend for the night is in detention
I try to be nice but you don't recognize
I might have to give in to the world but
Can I go or is it wrong to be free
In your ways of life

My baby wants to leave this city
And I don't know I don't know what I've done




It's not what you have it's what you give me
And I don't know I don't know if it's enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blahalouisiana's song "My Baby Wants to Leave This City" seem to address feelings of confusion and uncertainty in a relationship. The songwriter acknowledges that there are many ways to become blinded to reality or to overlook important details. They pose a question to their partner: is there guilt in their eyes? Perhaps indicating that there is something amiss in the relationship.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer's significant other wants to depart from the city, and they are unsure why. It is not material possessions that matter in their relationship, but something else-fleeting and intangible. The second verse introduces a new character, "my friend for the night" who is in detention. The singer tries to be kind, but their partner does not seem to react to their effort. The final line of the verse regards the singer's own life and whether or not they are free to no longer be bound by their partner's ways.


Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of doubts in a relationship, and a longing for clarity and freedom.

Az előbb hallottam az MR2-n. Nem is értem, hogy lehet ennek a dalnak ilyen alacsony nézettsége, sokkal jobb, mint a mai magyar mainstream zene!

Laura Bango

Imádom ezt a bandát! Fantasztikus az akusztika, és az angol kiejtésről még ne is beszéljünk! Nagyon jó az egész! Nagyon tetszik benne a jazzes hatás, ettől olyan különleges lesz. Gratulálok, engem lenyűgöztetek. :)

Zoltán Bíró

Voltam a koncertjükön, mikor ezt a számot előadták élőben az valami fenomenális volt. De az összes szám eszméletlen volt tőlük, alig várom hogy újra meghalgathassam őket élőben :-D
