The City
Madeon(마데온) Lyrics

There is a place in the distance
Describes a location that is far away

A place that I’ve been dreaming of
The singer has been imagining or fantasizing about this place

No more time and space don’t exist there
In this place, the concept of time and space do not apply

We can dance like there’s no tomorrow
In this place, the artist can dance freely and without concern for the future

I’ve got tomorrow to
The artist has time in the future to accomplish their goals

I can feel the city crumbling around me
The singer can sense the decay and deterioration of the urban environment they are in

I can’t seem to find my way
The singer is lost and does not know which direction to go

But I can see a bright light calling through dark night
Despite feeling lost, the artist can see a beacon of light that gives them hope

Hoping I’ll find my way
The artist wants to regain their sense of direction

Yeah I had what I wanted
The artist had something they desired

It went away so fast fast
What the singer wanted was fleeting

Yeah I got to let go
The artist needs to move on and not dwell on what they lost

I can feel the heartbeat underneath the concrete
Despite being in an urban environment, the singer can sense the rhythm and energy of the city

Just like a kick drum plays
This sensation is comparable to the sound of a drum kick in music

Running in a straight line guided by the street lights
The singer is moving forward, following the path illuminated by streetlights

Pushing the dark away
By moving forward, the artist is overcoming feelings of fear and uncertainty

We can dance like there’s no tomorrow
Reiterating the earlier sentiment that in the artist's dream world, they can dance without concern for the future

There is a place in the distance
Repeating earlier lines to emphasize the importance of the dream place the singer imagines

No oh time and space don’t exist there
Repeating that this place defies common temporal and spatial concepts

Tomorrow, tomorrow
Repeating the idea that there is always another day to work towards one's goals
