Electric City
Soma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opression on your spine
Your knitted heart is beating slowly through the camera clock
In a cold hard night
Sequential part of time
In that electric city you can't keep the numbers out
Why don't you run?
Get in to my daydream
When this could be forever
It comes and goes
Opression on your spine
In that electric city you feel greedy by the time
In a cold hard night
Addiction is not a crime
You're getting down and beating slowly through the camera clock
Why don't you run?
Why don't you run?
Get in to my daydream
When this could be forever
The lyrics of Soma's song "Electric City" seem to be about the monotony and pressures of modern urban life. The first two lines convey the idea of feeling weighed down by oppression, possibly the stress of daily life. The phrase "knitted heart" could refer to a heart that has hardened against the pressures of life. The "camera clock" may represent the constant surveillance and pressure to conform that exists in modern society.
The second stanza deepens the sense of despair by describing the situation as a "cold hard night", suggesting a lack of warmth or empathy. The "electric city" is both the setting and the source of the problem, a place where the numbers (presumably representing the pressures of modern life) cannot be escaped. However, the repeated question "why don't you run?" is a call to action, urging the listener to break free from this oppressive existence.
The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the idea of escaping into a daydream offers a possibility for a better, more idealistic future. The repeated phrase "when this could be forever" suggests a yearning for something more permanent and fulfilling than the transitory nature of modern life.
