Ghost Town
Greentea Peng Lyrics

London Bridge is fallin' down
The city is deteriorating and experiencing a decline in its vitality and liveliness.

All my mates walkin' 'round with frowns
The people around me are unhappy and dissatisfied with the current state of affairs in the city.

Can't seem to make no sense of all this rain
I don't understand why there is so much sadness and misery in the city, or why it seems to be raining all the time.

With your rules and regulations, why you so stiff?
I don't understand why there are so many strict rules and regulations in the city, making it a difficult and stiff place to live in.

I don't want nothing that seems too different
I prefer things that are familiar and consistent, and I don't want anything that is too strange or unfamiliar to me.

Stuck between your lines and all your lies
I feel trapped and constrained by the societal norms and expectations imposed upon me by the city, which are often deceptive and misleading.

But you can't take my city from me
Regardless of the challenges and struggles the city is facing, it still remains my home and a place of significance to me.

Try numbin' me with them frequencies
The city tries to numb and distract me with its constant noise and stimulation.

It's real sick, I lean
The constant bombardment of sensory stimuli makes me feel physically and mentally unwell.

Distracted by these screams, I agree
The constant noise and chatter of the city's inhabitants make it difficult to focus, and I find myself agreeing with things without much thought.

Ignorance is bliss, yeah, it's beautiful
Sometimes it's easier to be ignorant about the problems and challenges the city faces, and instead focus on its aesthetic beauty.

As long as we alignin', actin' suitable
In the city, conformity is valued over individuality, and it's important to behave in a way that aligns with society's expectations.

This life shit is achievable
The idea of living a successful life in the city is attainable, but it requires a lot of hard work and conformity to societal norms.

'Cause all that matters's what you look like
In the city, appearance and image are more important than substance and character.

No need to think twice, no more
In the city, there is no time or space for contemplation or reflection; everything must be done quickly and efficiently.

Anything you need, can buy it from a store
In the city, consumerism is prevalent, and you can buy anything you need or want from a store.

Nine ninety-nine for a pause
Even moments of rest or relaxation must be purchased in the city, and come at a cost.

Heavy on my mind, every single day
The difficulties and challenges of living in the city weigh heavily on my mind and cause me stress.

Trying to take the vibe of my city away
There are external forces that are threatening to change the essence and character of the city, that make it less unique and special.

But please don't take my city from me
My connection and love for the city runs deep, and I hope that it will remain a part of my life for years to come.

Can't take my city from me
Regardless of the challenges it may face, the city will always be an integral part of who I am and what I stand for.
