Cibelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dressed in black
Dressed in black
And foreheads weep under the burning sun
Smiles rising as they come out
Foreheads weep under the pointing time
Smiles rising as they come out the buildings for the winters tight laid dream
And I play dream
Walking down with lonely faces
Show me how
My life embraces me under the sun, under the sun
And guide me to other places
That all the places, all the places feel
Like memory
I'm walking randomly kicking verses that start where I see
I write and talk checking the sky and the height of
People in a black suit
People walking down the street
They seem to notice me riding high on my dreams
City people down the streets dressed in black
And the foreheads weep under the company's sun that embraces me
Smiles rising as they come out the buldings for the wind
As they daydream, as they play dream, as they play dream, as they play dream
The lyrics of Cibelle's song "City People" describe the experience of walking down a city street and observing the people around you. The people are dressed in black and have "lonely faces", but also smile and daydream as they come out of buildings. The singer feels guided by the city and its people, and seeks to find other places that feel like memories. The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the foreheads of the city people being damp with sweat under the hot sun, and the rising of their smiles as they go about their daydreams.
The lyrics suggest a sense of alienation and loneliness in the city, where people are surrounded by others but still feel disconnected. The black clothing could symbolize conformity or a lack of individuality. At the same time, there is a sense of beauty and potential in the city, with the imagery of the sun and the daydreaming. The singer seems to be on a journey, seeking out places that feel more personal and meaningful to her.
Overall, the lyrics of "City People" are open to interpretation, but evoke a vivid and atmospheric snapshot of urban life.
