Conro ft. Royal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dancing through the streets, we wander
Falling for the fire
Burning at the heart, throwing
Hands up to the sky
Ooh, we live for the night
I feel alive under the city lights
Ooh, under the city lights (City lights)
Ooh (City lights)
Dancing through the streets, we wander
Falling for the fire
Burning at the heart, throwing
Hands up to the sky
I can see it all
The night will come when I call
The day is never too far away
Time will turn as I say
Ooh, we live for the night
Ooh, here for the ride
I feel alive under the city lights
Under the city lights
Ooh, under the city lights (City lights)
Ooh (City lights)
(City lights, City lights)

They question whether this is how it's supposed to be and whether they are falling down to the same old ground again.
The chorus is a warning about the cold city lights that are all over them, playing games and making sure that nothing is what it seems. The city is like a web of fear, where everyone is caught in its trap. The lyrics talk about the broken dreams that come with living in a city like this and how it will never let you go. Everybody is too caught up in their own lives, and it seems like no one will ever hear you if you scream or shout.
The verses also touch upon the voices inside the singer's head, playing games and sounding like a war. It's clear that the city is affecting them, and they feel the need to pretend to be dead to escape it all. Overall, the lyrics of City Lights are an insight into the darker aspects of city life and the struggles that come with it.
