CITY OF ANGELS
Demi Lovato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been here for fifteen years
I'm bored to tears, there's nothing left to do
This town is heaven sent but better when
I'm face down under you

Before they go and write my eulogy
Come make this place new to me by
Christening the city of angels (angels)
Show it to me from every angle (angle)
I wanna see Beverly on my knees
I want you to make me scream at the Roxy
Christening the city of angels
City of angels
The city of angels

Splash Mountain from your hands at Disneyland
You know I skip the lines
I'm going down on you at the Viper Room
At Saddle Ranch I'll ride

You call me they but I'm still daddy's girl
Come make my day and rock my world by

Christening the city of angels (angels)
Show it to me from every angle (angle)
I wanna see Beverly on my knees
I want you to make me scream at the Roxy
Christening the city of angels
City of angels
The city of angels

Got me screaming ayo (ayo) on Rodeo (deo)
Got me screaming ayo (ayo) on Rodeo (deo)

Christening the city of angels (angels)
Show it to me from every angle (angle)
I wanna see Beverly on my knees
I want you to make me scream at the Roxy
Christening the city of angels
City of angels
The city of angels, city of angels

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "City of Angels" by Demi Lovato delve into the theme of seeking excitement and fulfillment in a place that has become routine and mundane. The singer expresses a sense of ennui after spending fifteen years in the same city, feeling bored to tears with nothing left to explore or experience. The city is described as "heaven sent," but the singer finds it more exhilarating when engaged in intimate encounters with another person.


The desire for a revitalized perspective is highlighted when the singer calls for someone to make the city feel new to them. The act of christening the "city of angels" symbolizes a rebirth, a fresh start in a place that has lost its spark. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the longing for a reinvigorated connection to their surroundings, wanting to see the city from different perspectives and angles.


The lyrics then shift to vivid imagery of various locations in Los Angeles, such as Disneyland and the Viper Room, where the singer seeks thrills and excitement. The mention of skipping lines at Disney's Splash Mountain and engaging in intimate acts at the Viper Room and Saddle Ranch conveys a sense of rebelliousness and a craving for intensity in experiences.


The references to iconic places like Rodeo Drive and the Roxy further reinforce the theme of seeking new adventures and sensations in familiar locations. The singer yearns for an infusion of passion and excitement in their life, wanting to be taken on a wild ride that shakes them out of their routine. Ultimately, the song paints a picture of someone seeking to break free from monotony and rediscover the magic of their surroundings, finding liberation and ecstasy in the vibrant energy of the city of angels.

I've been here for fifteen years
I've been stuck in this place for a long time


I'm bored to tears, there's nothing left to do
I'm so fed up, there's no excitement left
