Lost in the City Lights
Moody K-pop alt-pop song: a lonely electric guitar line, a slow, heavy beat, hazy synths and a soft, aching male vocal that rises in the chorus. Longing and cinematic, about missing someone in a crowded city at night, sung in English.
Lyrics
I’m standing where the sidewalk ends,In a river of a thousand coats.Everyone is heading home,While I’m just trying to stay afloat.The rainy asphalt turns to glass,Reflecting signs I cannot read.I’m searching every face that walks,For the only one I really need.The trains scream underneath my feet.The headlines blur across the screen.I’m losing touch with where I am,And everything that’s in between.I’m looking for you.In the middle of the dark,In the center of the sound.I’m looking for you.The world is getting loud,But you’re nowhere to be found.I’m looking for you.I’m looking for you.The coffee shops are locking up,Putting chairs against the doors.I recognize the way it feels,To want a life that isn’t yours.The traffic lights keep changing guard,From bitter green to warning red.I’m walking down the same old block,Repeating words I should have said.The trains scream underneath my feet.The headlines blur across the screen.I’m losing touch with where I am,And everything that’s in between.I’m looking for you.In the middle of the dark,In the center of the sound.I’m looking for you.The world is getting loud,But you’re nowhere to be found.I’m looking for you.I’m looking for you.Maybe you’re a block away,Or sitting in a different car.It’s funny how a million lights,Can make a person feel so far.I’m looking for you.In the middle of the dark,In the center of the sound.I’m looking for you.The world is getting loud,But you’re nowhere to be found.I’m looking for you.I’m looking for you.Just a ghost in the crowd.Waiting for the sun.Looking for you.Looking for you.
