In The City Lyrics
Shining violence
Shining victim
In the headlights
Shining pistol
Shimmer diamonds from a necklace
Faceless driver, drive away
In the city
In the city
In the street
In the doorway
You can see them
Midnight walkers
Midnight eyes
Midnight footsteps
Midnight prize
In the city
Concrete river
I hear your voice
Concrete river
I see your face
Whisper to me
Ask me
Why?
Shining violence (in the city)
Shining victim
In the headlights
Shining pistol
Shimmer diamonds from a necklace
Faceless driver, drive away
In the street
In the doorway
You can see them
Midnight walkers
Midnight eyes
Midnight footsteps
Midnight prize
I hear your voice
Concrete river
I see your face
Whisper to me
Ask me
Why?

I think this song is about the dangers the artist sees in her everyday life. She describes how the victim and criminal are under "shining lights" where everyone can see them, meaning likely no one is doing anything about it. This song could mean a literal criminal or be metaphorical and have a deeper meaning.
