?
Big city lights are calling me

So I came
Yeah, I came

So I went down with my 6 string in hand
Woman, to see what that big dirty city thought of me
It wasn't long to party all day and all night long
Woman, take me to those places I never should've seen

When I was done and those girls had their fun
Big city, done kicked me out onto the street
Oh I can't change, cause my life's going straight in the can ?
The big city lights never bothered me

So I came
And I came

I came, my soul, your love, I want love
I can't sleep, because it's a big city ?
I got high, I sang low, and I know, I'm out of control
I can't sleep because it's a big city lights for me

Well I came

Well I came, my soul, your love, I want love
I can't sleep, because it's a big city ?
I got high, I sang low, and I know, I'm out of control
I cant sleep because it's a big city lights for me

Well I came





I got high, I sang low, and I know, I'm out of control
I can't sleep because it's a big city lights for me

Overall Meaning

The song Big City Lights by Double Fuzz speaks of the allure of the big city and the price that comes with it. The lyrics talk about the blue skies and growing up strong but also the need to pray to keep the devil out. The singer of the song asks a girl to "make a man out of me" which can be interpreted as an invitation to experience the thrills and dangers of the big city.


The verse "So I went down with my 6 string in hand/Woman, to see what that big dirty city thought of me” talks about the singer’s journey to the city with his guitar to see how he would fare in the city's music scene. It wasn't long before he was indulging in the city's vices and living the party lifestyle. The singer realizes he can't change his wild ways and must face the consequences of his actions.


The chorus repeats the theme of the city being a place that never sleeps and one that the singer can't resist despite the negative consequences it has had on his life. The lyrcis "I can't sleep because it's a big city lights for me" highlights the excitement but also the insomnia that comes with living in the big city.

This song is literally better then anything that has happened this year. Including music releases

@FuckYeahBra

Im sitting here looking at a total of 38 hits on this video. Knowing that one day it will be close to five hundred thousand. Todays music just doesn't have soul like this does. If this song and this band dont catch on I must just have a very unique taste in music. But in my opinion this is incredible.

@CosminCRT

Not unique, they're just not popular enough.

@A380sebster

This needs to go viral everyone! Go out and buy the Xposure album! :D

@ThatNotSoAznKid

Go Calgary. We seem to be getting tons of talent out here.
