City Man
Gugun and The Bluesbug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm a city man, don't know where I′m knowing
Step into my world baby, I′ll take you on a ride
Into the city land, to my office on the river side
I don't have a lot of time
Work my fingers to the bone everyday
And I don′t have so many friends
It's just me and my laptop (me and my laptop baby)
Just give me a call, and I'll tell you what I hear
I′m workin' overtime, my diary full of trash
And I got my silver car, and my pocket full of cash
I don't have a lot of time
Work my fingers to the bone everyday
And I don′t have too many friends
It′s just me and my laptop
Life it's so hard to me
′Cause I never met anybody new yeah
Well I'm a city man
In Gugun and The Bluesbug's song "City Man", the lyrics describe the life of a modern working man who lives in the city. The song portrays his full schedule and lack of social interaction, as well as his attachment to technology. The first two lines "I'm a city man, don't know where I'm going/ Well I'm a city man, don't know where I'm knowing" suggest that he is lost and uncertain about the direction of his life. Despite this, he invites his partner to take a ride with him and experience his fast-paced city life. He then highlights his tight work schedule, explaining that he works hard everyday and has very few friends. For him, technology is a means to communicate and stay in touch with people easily. He wears a bluetooth headset and is always available to answer business calls.
The theme of isolation in modern society is highlighted in the song. The city man's reliance on his laptop and silver car are examples of superficial components of modern life. Hence, the song describes how technology and the pace of city life can disconnect people from their surroundings, even from other people. The overall message suggests that city living may offer material comforts, but it can also lead to a lack of personal growth and social relationships.
