New York City Lyrics

This song is absolutely amazing. To me, the song tells that everyone is running from something. What you're running toward may not be what you need. It's just an illusion of your dreams.

The song also involves money and what road you choose in life. "What is it worth, what is it worth Have you given up on freedom You spent your life earning the keys to set you free When you were free all along" I believe those lines are meant to make you think about life you're choosing. They tell you that doing things you don't love for money that will "set you free" is a waste of time, and soon you'll find your life is closing, you've wasted it. You don't need to get lots of money or freedom to chase your dreams. We're already free.
