City
Gore Slut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get through this long black hair of hers
It's wrapped around her head like a jungle
And will take her hours
Outside the traffic is hesitating
It's monday morning
Took a look through the window at the city
And decided it is ours
In bars and places
And cars and places
And people we know
And all this talk and jiving around
Emotional overflow
Come and join us
The devil is on our side tonight
Come and join us
We sunbathe in the moonlight in this city 24 hours a day
In this city studies of personal decay
In this city I'm not gonna work today
In this city
Oh shut up
'Cause when I'm drunk I always make a fool of myself
Things to say, things to do, people to see
And places to go to
When I'm high I think I'm top of the world
That's the kind of fool I am
Better shut up
(c) Gore Slut
The lyrics to Gore Slut's "City" describe a woman who shoots amphetamines to cope with her long, tangled hair. Outside, the traffic is hesitating on a Monday morning, but the singer and their companions have decided that the city belongs to them. They own it through their experiences in bars, driving around, and the people they know. The chorus invites the listener to join them, as the devil is on their side tonight. The city is depicted as a 24-hour sunbathing and moonlight-studying haven, but also as a place of personal decay. Despite this, the singer refuses to work today and instead wants to indulge in their vices. The song ends with a self-aware comment that the singer tends to make a fool of themselves while drunk or high.
The lyrics of "City" explore the idea of ownership and belonging in a city. The singer and their companions have carved out a space for themselves through their experiences, but this ownership is not necessarily positive. The city is also a place of temptation and decay. The references to amphetamines and drunkenness suggest a darker side to the city, which the chorus invites us to join in on. The repeated refrain to "shut up" suggests that the singer is aware of their own tendency to indulge in excesses and to make a fool of themselves. Overall, "City" offers a complex and conflicted portrayal of urban life.
