about

The cities where all our dreams are transformed into desires is eating away at itself while we feed on the remains.

For best results the song should be included in a TV drama series and listened to while it is being used to highlight a random emotional moment hopefully creating a state which would lead to reflection, (in the best of cases).

lyrics

Life In Cities

The city is a wild machine
Gorging on our remnant dreams
Grinding on voraciously
It's belly turns and churns out
The liquid dreams on which we feed
As liquid beings we watch on while
Our hearts once hollowed
Turn to stone

Bled dry and solidified
Spanning rivers
Breaching seas
Cutting through hills
Felling trees
To cities they're lured

The countless poor who will pave the streets
With abandoned dreams of a better place
A better body, a better faith
All turned to stone

My wanting is wasting
Away on the beachhead
Of my dormant desire
I'm drowsed by seduction
I'm fumbling in the rot
For my life in cities

You come to us from far away
From beyond the furthest fields you come
From places where they reproduce
All of our sounds
The sounds of laughter, the sounds of weeping
The sounds of breathing, the sounds of sleep
You've come to send it back to us
Through your millions of cables

My wanting is wasting
Away on the beachhead
Of my dormant desire
I'm drowsed by seduction
I'm fumbling in the rot
For my life in cities
