- City LyricsThere's a harvest each Saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
And it's clear, this conversation ain't doing a thing
'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight all the same songs
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes
Whispering Hollywood's name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it's not me
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading away, am I gone?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
Deep city lights, girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
And there's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold on to you?
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
And it's clear, this conversation ain't doing a thing
'Cause these boys only listen to me when I sing
And I don't feel like singing tonight all the same songs
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
The situation's always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes
Whispering Hollywood's name
But it's not me
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
There's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold you?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading away, am I gone?
Calling out, somebody save me
I feel like I'm fading
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
Deep city lights, girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
And there's nothing here to hold on to
Could I hold on to you?

When we look deeper into its meaning, the song 'City' by Sara Bareilles conveys the emotion of being overpowered and misplaced in the big city, the bright city lights personifying both the attraction and the disorder of city life. The phrase 'husky whispers of Hollywood' signifies the city’s false and consumeristic side, and the protagonist is trying to find true love and at the same time is running away from the city. The lyrics of the city portray mostly reflection, angst, solitude, and empowerment as well as despair. The song also points at the same time to urban nightlife as an indispensable source of escapism and to the close relationship with disconnection and isolation, g and superficiality and exploitation. The lyrics express nightlife, possible danger, and a feeling of escapism that might be appropriate for an adult audience. Though the language and imagery are not crude, they still imply a context that could be considered more intense than what is normally accepted in PG-rated material.
