This City
Love? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone's evil laugh shoots down my back
Shapeless and aging we start to run
Through the tangle of your broken words
This cheap impulse falls so dry
In the maze I burn down turn
You turn my skin around
Wishing my eyes could look down down on me...
Stairs fall like jewels
As we near the door
You fold through my neck
Arms like crystal
So black with charm breath
We turn to face the dying sun...





This green city rains down on me
This green city rains down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Love?'s song This City are filled with vivid and emotive imagery. The opening line, "Someone's evil laugh shoots down my back," creates a sense of unease and foreboding. This feeling of danger is heightened by the reference to running through a "tangle of broken words," suggesting confusion and disarray. The line "This cheap impulse falls so dry" could be interpreted as a reference to a fleeting moment of pleasure or excitement that ultimately leaves the singer feeling unsatisfied.


The second verse introduces a new element to the narrative, with the description of stairs falling like jewels as the pair near the door. The imagery of arms like crystal and black charm breath suggest an intimacy between the singer and their companion. The final lines, "We turn to face the dying sun... This green city rains down on me" create a sense of melancholy and finality.


Overall, the lyrics to This City create a dreamlike atmosphere, with disjointed and fragmented images that hint at deeper emotions and experiences. The repeated references to the city raining down could be seen as a metaphor for the weight of the world pressing down on the singer.
