Metropolis
Farah Siraj Lyrics

The opening line of Farah Siraj's song "Metropolis" sets the stage for a bleak portrayal of the cityscape. The Spanish lyrics, "Callejón de luces y miles de voces" (Alley of lights and thousands of voices) suggests that the city is teeming with activity, constantly buzzing with energy. However, the next line "Me siento perdida" (I feel lost) conveys a sense of disorientation and detachment. The singer feels detached from her surroundings and goes on to say that this night does not count in her life. This could imply that the city is a place where people are disconnected from their emotions and experiences, and the sensory overload only adds to the disconnection.

The lyrics go on to describe how the singer cannot see stars or clouds in the sky due to the buildings surrounding her. This is perhaps a metaphor for how the city obscures our natural surroundings and disconnects us from nature. The line "De esta cárcel de vidrio y acero" (From this glass and steel prison) further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and isolated in this urban environment. We also see the juxtaposition of life and death where the singer hears a siren and notes that someone's life is being saved, but ultimately, no one cares as the city never sleeps.

The chorus of the song repeats the lines "En esta ciudad nada es lo mismo, Extraño tus besos, tu sonrisa, Extraño tu cuerpo junto al mío" (In this city, nothing is the same, I miss your kisses, your smile, I miss your body next to mine) several times. The repetition of this refrain reinforces the theme of disconnection and loneliness that permeates the song's overall message. The singer is longing for a connection that she cannot find in the city.
