Umbrella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it's me for I cannot sleep
I've pushed away the dreams, and spoiled the quiet
I'm propelled by fear, and not the righteous
So have you been to a place like this?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
The fever is near
I'm thinking ambitious
I've got this feeling that things will be alright
So go break a leg now
Been given the green light
So go entertain them
They're waiting for you
They're waiting for this
So have you been to a place like this?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
Feeling so right and things will run
The fever is near
I wish you here
The lyrics of Umbrella's song, City Lights, paint a picture of a restless protagonist who can't sleep and is wandering the streets at midnight. The first verse shows the character's despair at not being able to have a peaceful night's rest as they have pushed away their dreams and can't stand the silence. The line "I'm propelled by fear/ And not the righteous" indicates that the singer is motivated by anxiety and not by a higher purpose or calling.
The second verse begins by asking the listener if they have ever been to a place like this, where you can see your breath against the sky. The person is feeling feverish as they anticipate the future and feel that things are going to be alright, as shown in the line "I'm thinking ambitious/ I've got this feeling things will be alright". The song enhances the emotions with a relatable metaphor of feeling feverish. The song culminates with the declaration, "I wish you were here," indicating a sense of loneliness that the person is experiencing. They want someone to share the experience with them even though they are feeling positive about their ambitions.
Overall, the song City Lights showcases the image of a person struggling with insomnia and anxiety while trying to hold on to their hopes for the future. The song instills the emotions very well and brings back memories of lonely and hopeless nights.
Line by Line Meaning
If you see me at midnight
If you happen to spot me walking the streets at the stroke of midnight
Walking the streets
Strolling along the empty pathways
You'll know it was me for I cannot sleep
My sleepless state is the reason you will be able to recognize me
I've pushed away the dreams
The dreams are not welcomed and hence, suppressed
And spoiled the quiet
The serenity of the night has been destroyed
I'm propelled by fear
My actions are fueled by fear
And not the righteous
I am not guided by righteousness
So have you been to a place like this?
Have you ever visited a similar place?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
Where you can see the mist of your breath rising up, visible against the dark sky
The fever is near
The excitement is almost overwhelming
I wish you were here
I really wish you could experience this with me
I'm thinking ambitious
I am optimistic and planning big things
I've got this feeling things will be alright
I have a good vibe that everything will turn out fine
So go break a leg night
Go ahead and do your best tonight
Been given the green light
Get permission to proceed
So go entertain them
Delight them with your performance
They're waiting for you
They are eagerly waiting for your appearance
Feeling so right and things will run
Everything will fall in place and it's just perfect
