Small Town Boy
D-Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anywhere other than this stain on the map is alright
Not running away, but trying anywhere to find
Other people with the same sort of future in mind
I can't escape, I cannot wait
Chasing the sunrise, for miles and miles
Watching the moon go down
Through a picture frame
Listen how still it is
Even wind has died
Can't rain on you if you
Can see the sunrise
Every day starts the same
Starts with hope
And every night, all the nights
Comes back alone
So just wait one more day
One day, to your surprise
One day won't be alone
When you watch the sunrise
Chasing and running away at the same time
Jumping ship but not holding on to a line
One more falls off this spinning wheel
Another steps on and more are hot on their heels
Digging through the earth to get out the other side
Anywhere other than this stain on the map is alright
Not running away, but trying anywhere to find
Other people with the same sort of future in mind
These lyrics from D-Age's song "Small Town Boy" depict the singer's desire to break free from the constraints of their small town and find a more fulfilling life elsewhere. The opening lines convey a sense of desperation, as the singer feels trapped and longs to escape their current situation. They express a willingness to go anywhere, even if it means digging through the earth, just to find a place where they can connect with others who have similar aspirations.
The chorus reflects the singer's struggle to find a sense of belonging and purpose. They tirelessly chase after new opportunities, symbolized by the sunrise, hoping that each new day will bring something different. Yet, despite their efforts, they often find themselves feeling alone and isolated. The line "Every day starts the same, starts with hope" highlights the recurring cycle of disappointment and the constant search for something better.
The second verse suggests that the singer is torn between leaving their small town and facing the unknown or staying and enduring the monotony. They are aware of the risks involved in chasing their dreams but also recognize that others are following their lead, stepping onto the same spinning wheel of uncertainty.
