The City Met Me Outside - SOL ARIA
词:Zhong Junxian
曲:Zhong Junxian
The city met me outside
It did not ask me to be whole
It only gave me lights
And somewhere I could go
I thought the outside would be loud
In a way I could not take
I thought every face would notice
All the parts of me that ached
But the city did not question
Why I moved a little slow
It kept the crosswalk changing
It let the warm wind blow
No one asked me to be fixed
No one asked me to explain
The world kept happening around me
And I stepped into it again
The city met me outside
And did not ask me to be whole
It gave me lights and voices
And a street where I could go
The city met me outside
Not as a cure, not as a sign
Just a place to stand in life again
For a little while
Outside
For a little while
Outside
I remembered life
City ambience
Bright synths
Soft percussion
There was music from a doorway
There were colors on the wall
There were people moving past me
And they did not know at all
That I had been so far from living
That I had been inside too long
But the city did not need to know
To help me move along
No one asked me to be fixed
No one asked me to explain
The world kept happening around me
And I stepped into it again
The city met me outside
And did not ask me to be whole
It gave me lights and voices
And a street where I could go
The city met me outside
Not as a cure, not as a sign
Just a place to stand in life again
For a little while
Outside
Lights on
Outside
Keep going
Outside
Life on
I step back in
I step back in
The city met me outside
And did not ask me to be whole
It gave me lights and voices
And a street where I could go
The city met me outside
Not as a cure, not as a sign
Just a place to stand in life again
For a little while
The city met me outside
It did not ask me to be whole
It only gave me lights
And somewhere I could go
