unouomedude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We skate, a makeshift ramp
Your mom, makes us a snack
I'm gone, but I'll be back
Buildings, surrounding me, surrounding me, surrounding me
People, they stare at me, they stare at me, they stare at me
This city falls asleep
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
Bo staffs, we spin around
We fall, onto the ground
We do, we run this town
Don't scream, but we make sound
Buildings, surrounding me, surrounding me, surrounding me
People, they stare at me, they stare at me, they stare at me
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
Buildings, surrounding me, surrounding me, surrounding me
People, they stare at me, they stare at me, they stare at me
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
This city falls asleep
And in my hand this place will be
The song "Buildings" by unouomedude tells a story of youth, rebellion and freedom. At the beginning of the song, the singer and their friends are skateboarding behind a laundromat, and the mother of one of the friends makes them a snack. The lyrics convey a sense of abandon and carefree joy, as the group of youths spin around with their bo staffs and make noise, running the town without any fear or concern for what others may think of them. The repetition of "surrounding me" and "they stare at me" in the chorus emphasizes the feeling of being watched and judged by the rest of society.
However, the song takes a deeper turn in the bridge, where the singer vows to take control of the city and make it theirs. The line "this city falls asleep and in my hand this place will be" can be interpreted as a call to action to seize the moment and shape their own destiny, rather than submitting to the expectations of others. The repetition of this line at the end of the song drives this message home, emphasizing the importance of taking control of one's life and surroundings.
Overall, "Buildings" is a powerful anthem to youth rebellion and the need for freedom and self-expression. The lyrics use vivid imagery and repetition to convey a sense of joy and excitement in the face of adversity, while also encouraging listeners to take control of their own lives and shape their own destinies.
Line by Line Meaning
Behind, the laundromat
We are hiding behind the laundromat
We skate, a makeshift ramp
We skateboard on a ramp that we made ourselves out of whatever we could find
Your mom, makes us a snack
Your mom is kind enough to make us some food
I'm gone, but I'll be back
I am leaving now, but I will return later
Buildings, surrounding me, surrounding me, surrounding me
I am surrounded by tall buildings from all sides
People, they stare at me, they stare at me, they stare at me
People are looking at me with curiosity or perhaps judgement
This city falls asleep
The city becomes silent and still as night falls
And in my hand this place will be
I feel like I have the power to control this place
Bo staffs, we spin around
We play with staffs and twirl them in the air
We fall, onto the ground
We sometimes lose balance and fall on the ground
We do, we run this town
We feel like we have the power and control over this town
Don't scream, but we make sound
We are not shouting out loud, but we are still making some noise
This city falls asleep
The city has gone silent again
And in my hand this place will be
I think that I can shape this place as I wish
This city falls asleep
The city gets quiet once more
And in my hand this place will be
I can control the future of this city
This city falls asleep
The night is finally here and the city is at peace
And in my hand this place will be
The future and fate of this city are decided by me
This city falls asleep
Everything seems still and settled for the night
And in my hand this place will be
I feel like I have the power to influence this city
This city falls asleep
The day is done and the city gets to rest
And in my hand this place will be
I will shape the future of this city according to my wishes
This city falls asleep
The city is at peace and so am I
And in my hand this place will be
I have the power to shape the city's destiny
This city falls asleep
The city is at its most peaceful state
And in my hand this place will be
I have the ability to shape this city's future
