LETRA
The city
The city never sleeps,
I hear the people walk by when it's late,
Sirens beat through my window cill,
I can't close my eyes,
Don't control what I'm into.,
This town is alive,
With lights that blind keep me awake,
Put my hood up, unlace and tie,
The street fills my mind,
Don't control what I'm into.,
London calls me a stranger,
A traveller Ohoohohh,
This is now my home, My home,
Oh Woah,
Burning on the back street,
Oh Woah,
Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
Oh Woah,
And I'm blazing on the street,
What I do isn't upto you,
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two.,
The pavement is my friend,
It'll take me where I need to go,
If I find it trips me up,
And puts me down,
This is not what I'm used to.,
[Verse]
The shop across the road,
It fills my needs and keeps me company,
When I need it,
Voices beat through my walls,
I don't think I'm gonna make it,
Past to-mor-roow.,
London calls me a stranger,
A traveller Ohoohohh,
This is now my home, My home,
Oh Woah,
Burning on the back street,
Oh Woah,
Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
Oh Woah,
And I'm blazing on the street,
What I do isn't upto you,
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two.,
And my lungs hurt,
And my ears bled,
With the sounds of the city life,
Echoed in my head,
Do I need this, To keep me alive?
The traffic stops and starts but I,
Need to move alone.
London calls me a stranger,
This is now my home, Home,
Oh Woah,
Burning on the back street,
Oh Woah,
Stuck here, sitting in the back seat,
Oh Woah,
And I'm blazing on the street,
What I do isn't upto you,
And if the city never sleeps then that makes two. [x2]
Significado de la letra
'The City' by Ed Sheeran paints a vivid picture of urban life, where the bustling city never sleeps and the streets are filled with a constant flow of people. The sirens wail through the night, making it hard to find peace and close one's eyes. Yet, amidst the chaos, the protagonist finds a sense of belonging in this city that never rests.
London is portrayed as a place where the protagonist is both a stranger and a traveler, but it has become a place to call home. The back streets are ablaze with life and energy, and despite feeling stuck at times, there is a sense of freedom in navigating the city streets and making one's own choices.
The lyrics delve into the conflicting emotions of city life - the familiarity of the pavement, the need for connection with the shop across the road, and the overwhelming cacophony of voices that can make it hard to see tomorrow. The protagonist grapples with the external noise and internal struggles, questioning whether the constant hustle and bustle are necessary for survival.
The song captures the essence of longing for solitude in a crowded place, yearning for independence amidst the intertwined paths of city life. It reflects the feelings of being lost yet found in a metropolis that never stops moving, where individual autonomy and the collective rhythm of the city meld into a harmonious yet discordant symphony.
