Description
This song is essentially about seeing the gradual downfall of a city or a relationship and about making a transition in life with a lot of uncertainty. Also, there is a sense of betrayal of loyalty and dealing with this by moving forward, but not forgetting about the past.
Lyrics
This city’s crumblin’ around me. It’s getting harder to see. Feels like I’m runnin’ on empty, but the struggle’s just begun. I can see a new tide is rising. No need for running or hiding to a place beyond the horizon with a mirage of what’s to come. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down, holdin’. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. People fleeing the streets out of fear. Any sign of life disappears. Losing light as dusk draws near, and I’m running out of time. Light a torch cuz darkness surrounds me, with unfamiliar faces around me. I let em loose and somehow they found me, and they’re tryin’ to bring me down. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. I don’t want it. I don’t need it. You can’t see it. I can’t free it. I don’t want it. I don’t need it. You can’t see it. I can’t free it. You could’ve come back for me but you left me for dead. Livin’ in a ghost town has been holdin’ me down, holdin’ me down. Gotta weather the storm for what lies ahead, or I’ll be trapped inside this town. Yeah. Music by Michael Biviano.
