The City
Madeon Lyrics

There is a place in the distance
The artist is talking about a place that he or she has been dreaming of, and is far away.

A place that I've been dreaming of
The artist has been dreaming of this distant place.

No more time and space don't exist there
The distance between the artist and this place is so great that time and space no longer have meaning in relation to it.

We can dance like there's no tomorrow
In this place, the artist and others can dance without worry, as if tomorrow does not exist.

I've got tomorrow to
The artist acknowledges that there is a tomorrow and has the opportunity to act until then.

I've got to go all the way
The artist has a goal or mission that requires their full effort to achieve.

I can feel the city crumbling around me
The artist is experiencing chaos and destruction in their environment.

I can't seem to find my way
The artist is feeling lost and uncertain about how to proceed.

But I can see a bright light calling through dark night
There is a beacon of hope that shines through the darkness and gives the artist a sense of direction.

Hoping I'll find my way
The artist is optimistic that they will eventually find their way through the darkness and confusion.

Yeah I had what I wanted
The artist has experienced a sense of fulfillment in the past.

It went away so fast fast
However, this sense of fulfillment was short-lived and disappeared quickly.

Yeah I got to let go
The artist recognizes that they must let go of these fleeting moments of satisfaction and continue pursuing their goals.

I can feel the heartbeat underneath the concrete
The artist can sense the energy and potential beneath the surface of their urban surroundings.

Just like a kick drum plays
This energy is akin to the rhythm of a kick drum, which drives and guides the music.

Running in a straight line guided by the street lights
The artist is following a path set by the city's infrastructure and lighting system.

Pushing the dark away
By following these guidelines, the artist feels less lost and is able to navigate through the darkness and uncertainty.

There is a place, no time in space
The place that the artist dreamed about earlier is a realm beyond time and space.

Tomorrow, tomorrow
The artist is referencing the concept of tomorrow as a time for action and change, implying that they will continue to pursue their goals until then.
