Rhubarb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To lose ourselves in such a simple melody.
One love worth saving
Is worth a million troubles if we make it.
[Chorus]
In New York, can't find me
New York, New York
One life worth living
Could save us all or lose its way completely
It's allright, and it's OK
To find a little peace of mind and hope it stays
In New York, can't find me
New York, New York
New York, has her timing
New York, New York
Empty ourselves in this city.
Spend every wish on the way.
It leaves you with nothing to swing from.
But it's all right
New York, can't find me
New York, New York
New York, has her timing
New York, New York
I can't find, it when im in New York City
I can't findit.
I can't find, it when im in New York City
The lyrics of Rhubarb's song "New York" seem to be a reflection of the experience of living in New York City. The song praises the city's ability to provide a simple melody for people to lose themselves in, as well as its ability to house a love worth saving. However, the song also emphasizes the high stakes of living in the city, where one mistake could cause someone to lose their way completely. Even so, the song encourages listeners to hold onto a little bit of hope for peace of mind amidst the chaos.
The chorus repeats the phrase "in New York, can't find me," which may be interpreted as a reference to the anonymity that comes with living in a busy city. Despite the city's ability to make one feel small and insignificant, the song encourages listeners to embrace the emptiness of the city and spend their wishes along the way. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that while New York may be challenging and overwhelming at times, it is ultimately worth experiencing for the sense of adventure and possibility that it holds.
