Metropolis
Motörhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't nobody could be on your side
I don't care
I don't care, oh
Metropolis is something new
Ain't nobody got their eye on you
I don't care
Metropolis, the worlds collide
Ain't nobody on the other side
I don't care
I'm not there, ah
Metropolis is a high-energy, fast-paced song that captures the essence of the modern city. The lyrics convey a sense of chaos, with the worlds colliding and nobody being on your side. The term 'metropolis' refers to a large city or urban area, and the lyrics suggest that this environment can be overwhelming, with conflicting forces pulling in different directions. The repetition of "I don't care" throughout the song suggests a feeling of hopelessness or helplessness in the face of the city's chaos.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of detachment or disconnection from the city. The line "Ain't nobody got their eye on you" suggests a feeling of anonymity or invisibility in a crowded city. The use of the phrase "it's nowhere" implies that the city lacks a clear sense of direction or purpose, and that it can be difficult to navigate or make sense of the chaos. Overall, the song captures a sense of alienation and disillusionment with modern urban life.
