Song Meaning of “Neon City Lights” by Grendel
Neon City Lights is a poetic song about the beauty and vibrancy of a bustling city, and how shining lights never signify the darkness and hardships that its inhabitants experience, both physical and psychological. The bright neon city lights can both represent the promise of something more, but also the way that the hustle and bustle of the city can both distract and consume us, preventing us from finding real peace and happiness. The song is a meditation on the way that bright lights can attract and alike, but also a warning of the cost that it takes on us to achieve these goals, and how the pursuit of them can often be an unending source of masquerading loneliness. Despite the promises of joy that the lights bring, we can never truly find solace in them, and must eventually move on. The message of the song is that although we must take risks to experience the remarkable joys of life, we must also be aware of the dangers of becoming too attached, and find balance.
