Petrichor
POP ART TOWN Lyrics

The lyrics of "Petrichor" by POP ART TOWN express the desire to escape from the mundane realities of everyday life and transcend to a world of their own, just two people. The song speaks of the passage of time, as they feel it slip away while the night breeze passes through the gaps between buildings, almost as if time itself is getting swallowed up by the night. The streetlights that usually appear lonely and subdued seem even more so on rainy days, and the city smells of it. Tokyo City is depicted as unable to sleep in the night, despite being a bustling city that never rests. The song suggests that answers are not necessary, and the two protagonists simply wish to lose themselves in each other's world and break away from the dullness of daily life together.

The lyrics also speak of growing up and how one tends to forget important things as they get older. The background music, like the usual daily routines, seems to be repetitive and dull, and the city engulfs them both. The city's night sky shines too bright, and the stars are blurred, making them crave for beauty that they can touch, but is difficult to find in the city. The song conveys the desire to experience something pure and beautiful amidst the chaos of the city.
