City Lights
Dalton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

here, here
let's just stay here
you should love me here
here, here
let's just stay here
i should love you, dear
when the wind comes
and the sun again
my love i'll be here

i found a way true
in silence with you
what do you hear
and what do you want to hear

here, here
get me out of here
wake me under city lights
an apple and a kiss on my ear
fly like days
let time erase all our mistakes

i found a way true
in silence with you




what do you hear
and what do you want to hear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dalton's song "City Lights" suggest an intimate moment shared between two people. The opening lines, "here, here, let's just stay here, you should love me here, here, here, let's just stay here, I should love you, dear," may be interpreted as a plea to stay in the present moment, to bask in each other's company, and to appreciate the love that they share. When the wind comes and the sun sets, the singer assures their partner that they will still be there.


The second verse, "I found a way true, in silence with you, what do you hear and what do you want to hear," hints at a deeper understanding between the couple. They have found a way to communicate without words and are attuned to each other's desires. However, the third verse takes a different tone as the singer asks to be taken out of the moment and under the "city lights." The apple and kiss on the ear may suggest a longing for adventure and new experiences. The final lines of the song suggest a desire to move forward and leave behind any mistakes that may have been made.


Overall, "City Lights" seems to capture a moment of tenderness and longing between two people who are deeply connected to each other. The song juxtaposes the desire to stay in the present moment with a desire to seek out new experiences, suggesting that while love may be a constant, life is full of change and adventure.
