Lost In The City
Oddity Road Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feeling the ground and the waves in the sand.
Cold floor, stone walls,
toes in sand and my head in the clouds
Lost in the city but we found our way,
one way ticket cause I knew you'd stay.
Knowing in the morning that I'd take it safe,
Concrete, daydreams
flashing of a lights that caught your eye.
Twisting pavements,
the lights stopped already inside my head.
Lost in the city but we found our way,
one way ticket cause I knew you'd stay.
Knowing in the morning that I'd take it safe,
knowing me now it would be better to...
Go, far like the snow, with the wind blow like,
leaves another man fly into the night,
like a blurring of a light.
Four walls, closed doors,
life in my hands right where we stand.
Sepa-rating, going our own ways like I knew the way you would.
Lost in the city, but we found our way,
one way ticket cause I knew you'd stay.
Knowing in the morning that I'd take it safe,
knowing me now it would be better would be better to...
Go, far like the snow, with the wind blow like,
leaves another man fly into the night,
the blurring of a light, fills up on all sights.

Lost in the city but we found our way,
one way ticket cause I knew you'd stay.
Knowing in the morning that I'd take it safe,
knowing me better would be better you know.
The song "Lost in the City" by Oddity Road tells the story of a person who is lost in a big city but has found comfort in the company of another person. The lyrics depict the feeling of being lost in the hustle and bustle of the city, but also finding solace in the intimacy of the moment. The opening line "Long nights, blurred lights" sets the mood for the song and creates a sense of confusion and disorientation. The next line "feeling the ground and the waves in the sand" suggests that the person is both grounded and connected to the earth, but also feels the pull of the unknown.
The chorus of the song declares that although they are lost, they have found a way to navigate the city with the other person. The lines "one way ticket cause I knew you'd stay" and "knowing in the morning that I'd take it safe" indicate that the person is relying on their companion's support and trust to guide them through their journey. The lyrics "knowing me better would be better you know" suggest that the person is aware of their shortcomings and that they need their companion's understanding and acceptance to move forward. The song ends with a hopeful note, as they embrace the uncertainty and embark on a new journey, reinforced in each other's love and support.
