Song Meaning of “Transparent city” by Hypnobooster
Transparent City paints an image of a bustling, ultra-modern city, where all of the illusions of the conforming city life have been stripped away. The song speaks to the ultimate loneliness of living within this hyper-connected world, but never truly connecting. Life in a Transparent City can be seen for what it truly is, beneath the façade, yet living here leaves us feeling isolated and disenfranchised.
The chorus speaks of the aching truth that no matter how hard we work to make something of ourselves in the city, our true selves still remain hidden behind the concrete and glass. It invites us to take a step back and look at the city for what it is, and to search for the bigger meaning in life than just going through the motions. It espouses the idea that we must take ownership of our lives and our destinies, taking the time to gain the courage to break with the cycles of conformity, looking beyond the surface of the Transparent City and perhaps finding something we had missed in our headlong rush to success.
