Naked City
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd sacrifice my social position tonight
In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
I'm not lookin' for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)
This is my flesh and my fantasy
Older women with younger men, I've got a feelin' I'm in trouble again
But I've got to live my destiny
In the naked city (in the city) it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city
Lonely people lookin' for someone, lonely people goin' their way
Lonely people lookin' for something, lonely people goin' their way
In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
In the naked city, there are ten million stories
I'm not lookin' for pity in this naked city
In the naked, naked city (in the city), it's a race with the devil (naked city)
All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
(In the city, naked city)
The lyrics of "Naked City" by Jorn depict the struggles of people who live in New York City, which represents modern-day society as a whole. The song takes a critical look at the loneliness and vulnerability that people experience in the big city, where people are consumed with the pursuit of wealth, success, and power, which leave them feeling empty and unsatisfied. The lyrics describe the harsh reality of living in a big city where people are disconnected from one another and cannot find true love or understanding.
The singer of the song expresses his own confusion and struggle as he navigates through the city's streets, encountering people in different situations. The lyrics describe street vampires, young lovers, older women with younger men, and lonely people looking for something. At the heart of the song is the idea that the city can be both exciting and terrifying, but it is ultimately a place where people go to escape their problems, only to find more pain and uncertainty.
Overall, Jorn's "Naked City" serves as a commentary on modern society and its isolating effects on individuals. The song highlights the importance of human connection and the need for people to look beyond materialistic desires to find genuine happiness.
