Town
This Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a train into the city
A view that's oh so pretty
Laughin' it up at the world

Watching windows fog so sleepy
A crowded car can't keep me
From day dreaming all of the world
Leaving tracks behind my footsteps
A dollar sign is on my doorstep
Acting it out through the floors every way in a day it's a crazy delay

Underneath the clouds of pink today

stopped me dead in my tracks
When all the lights went black
What goes up must come down city lights town after town

Through this ride I'm thinkin'
what kind of human is this
are they alkalined
and feminine or are they lost in toxic masculine
is there a Goddess a queen before them
or a Latina crossing borders wants a wall between us
or do they understand
we're all souls deep
through different melanin
eyes closed
yeah our souls speak
city lights are floating by
we're feeling anxious inside
is there a love at home that's waiting oh so patiently
maybe a sick mother who fed from the breast so happily
so easy to breathe in deeply while we riding this train
are they creative a mastermind
or racing the hands of time
afraid of getting old while rocking these shows
i guess i'll never know
but here's my stop ahead
i stand tall head high with my headphones in
i guess i'll never know
but here's my stop ahead
i stand tall head high with my headphones in

Stopped us dead in our tracks
When All the lights went black
What goes up must come down city lights town after town

What goes up must come down city lights town after town

What goes around comes around, and I don't wanna' come back down

What goes around comes around, and I don't wanna' come back

what kind of human is this
are they alkalined
and feminine or are they lost in toxic masculine
is there a Goddess a queen before them
or a Latina crossing borders wants a wall between us
or do they understand
we're all souls deep
through different melanin
eyes closed
yeah our souls speak
city lights are floating by
we're feeling anxious inside
is there a love at home that's waiting oh so patiently
maybe a sick mother who fed from the breast so happily
so easy to breathe in deeply while we riding this train
are they creative a mastermind
or racing the hands of time
afraid of getting old while rocking these shows
i guess i'll never know
but here's my stop ahead
i stand tall head high with my head phones in
i guess i'll never know




but here's my stop ahead
i stand tall head high with my head phones in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Town" by This describe a train ride into the city where the singer is daydreaming while watching the world go by. The train ride is filled with many questions about the people on the train and their lives - what kind of humans are they, are they lost in toxic masculinity, is there a queen or a Latina crossing borders, and so on. The lyrics also touch on the idea of the city lights representing a fast-paced, anxious world that is always on the go, with people afraid of getting old while still trying to keep up with their busy lives. The song ends with the singer reaching their destination, but still filled with questions about the people around them and their lives.


Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the human condition and how we all share similar struggles and experiences, even though we may come from different backgrounds and have different beliefs. The city serves as a metaphor for the modern world, with its fast-paced lifestyles and constant pressure to keep up with the latest trends and technologies. The lyrics suggest that despite all of this, there is still hope for human connection and understanding if we take the time to listen to each other and try to understand what makes us all unique.

Lyrics

Waking up to kiss you and nobody's there
The smell of your perfume still stuck in the air
It's hard
Yesterday I thought I saw your shadow running round
It's funny how things never change in this old town
So far from the stars

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

I saw that you moved on with someone new
In the pub that we met he's got his arms around you
It's so hard
So hard

And I want to tell you everything
The words I never got to say the first time around
And I remember everything
From when we were the children playing in this fairground
Wish I was there with you now

Because if the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you

And I know that it's wrong
That I can't move on
But there's something about you

If the whole world was watching I'd still dance with you
Drive highways and byways to be there with you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
You still make me nervous when you walk in the room
Them butterflies they come alive when I'm next to you
Over and over the only truth
Everything comes back to you
Everything comes back to you
