2. The Medics are an indie band which formed in Utrecht, The Netherlands in 2008. Along the way, The Medics have been labeled as 'Morrissey on speed', but gain also heavy influences from bands like The Strokes, Vampire Weekend and The Killers. Early 2009 The Medics released a three song EP. In October 2010 The Medics released the first single called City. Their debut album Dance Into The Dark with the same titled single Dance Into The Dark has been be released at the end of august 2011. Here’s some well-produced synth rock mixing britrock sound of Franz Ferdinand (listen to City and wonder if Netherlands-based The Medics are secretly the Scottish alt rockers from the ’00s) with the arena sound of The Naked and Famous. The Medics were featured on the the popular soccer video game FIFA 2012 alongside alt rock stars like The Strokes and The Vaccines. Since this publicity bump, the band has gotten positive response in soccer-obsessed nations Brazil and England.

The Medics Lyrics

This could be a problem
It looks like I'm falling
Heartache takes me to town
I was standing for so long
But never skip a beat
City is burning, burning by night yeah
City is burning and it's burning by night
Fire 'till the end
There's silence in between
But silence can deceive
Beware of your dreams
They may kill you in your sleep
The music lays you down
But never, never skip a beat
City is burning, burning by night yeah
I got this feeling again
City is burning and it's burning by night
Fire 'till the end
I got this feeling again
feeling again
feeling again ohooh
I got this feeling again
feeling again
feeling again ohooh
I got this feeling again
feeling again
feeling again
feeling again
I got this feeling again
feeling again
Fire (fire)
Fire (fire)

Fire,
City is burning, burning by night yeah
I got this feeling again
City is burning and it's burning by night
Fire 'till the end
City is burning, burning by night yeah
I got this feeling again
City is burning and it's burning by night
Fire (fire)

The Medics’ song “City” talks about a feeling of heartache that takes the singer to town. This heartache could be a problem for the singer, as they feel like they are falling. The lyrics create a vivid image of a city that is burning, both by day and night, and that fire will continue till the end. In between the silence, the music lays the singer down but never skips a beat. The song advises to beware of the dreams, as they may kill in sleep, and silence can deceive. The lyrics “feeling again” repeat many times, emphasizing the pain of the heartache, which takes the singer to the city.
The lyrics of the song “City” by The Medics are open to interpretation. The repeated phrase “heartache takes me to town” could be talking about a physical location, which could either be a city or a smaller town, where the singer finds some comfort in healing from the pain of heartache. Alternatively, it could be talking about a temporary escape from the pain of heartbreak. The song emphasizes the contrast between silence, music, and the burning city to evoke an intense feeling of pain, survival, and endurance. The song’s message is to never give up and to keep fighting through the pain.
Line by Line Meaning
Heartache takes me to town
The emotional pain that I am feeling is bringing me into the city
This could be a problem
The situation I am in might not end well
It looks like I'm falling
I am losing control and falling apart
I was standing for so long
I had been emotionally stable for a long time
But never skip a beat
I was always able to keep going, despite everything
City is burning, burning by night yeah
The city is in chaos and danger, especially at night
I got this feeling again
I am experiencing these emotions deeply once more
Fire 'till the end
The passion and intensity in me will never stop
There's silence in between
It seems like everything is okay, but there are hidden dangers
But silence can deceive
I cannot trust the quietness, as it might hide something dangerous
Beware of your dreams
Be cautious of what you wish for and dream about
They may kill you in your sleep
Your desires and aspirations could cause you harm and pain, even when you sleep
The music lays you down
The calming effect of music and art can soothe the pain and distress
Fire,
Passion and intensity
