"NYC", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Dido, menyajikan kisah seorang individu yang bertekad untuk menjelajahi setiap jalan di kota New York tanpa kehadiran cinta. Dengan liriknya yang emosional, lagu ini menggambarkan perpisahan yang menyakitkan dan pencarian untuk memulai kembali di kota yang tidak pernah tidur. Melalui metafora jalanan yang ramai, lagu ini mengekspresikan kebebasan dan kemandirian yang baru ditemukan saat narator melangkah maju ke masa depan yang tidak pasti.
NYC Lyrics
Dido
(Verse)
White house on the beach
My steps down to the sand
The plane takes off and we
We are just when it lands
(Verse)
Waiting in a room
Where the windows won't open
Got coffee with no mud
And my heart still ain't broken
Still ain't broken
Still ain't broken
(Pre-Chorus)
And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
(Verse)
Boat goes
From one island to the next
An old man drinkin beer
Women on the bench
(Pre-Chorus)
And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
(Verse)
Glory when my plane takes off
Don't know me when I'm home
Say your prayers with your fingers crossed
Forget to call fore I go
If I had to phone tonight
To say I made you sad
And though I've fallen in your call and palm
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
White house on the beach
My steps down to the sand
The plane takes off and we
We are just when it lands
(Verse)
Waiting in a room
Where the windows won't open
Got coffee with no mud
And my heart still ain't broken
Still ain't broken
Still ain't broken
(Pre-Chorus)
And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
(Verse)
Boat goes
From one island to the next
An old man drinkin beer
Women on the bench
(Pre-Chorus)
And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
(Verse)
Glory when my plane takes off
Don't know me when I'm home
Say your prayers with your fingers crossed
Forget to call fore I go
If I had to phone tonight
To say I made you sad
And though I've fallen in your call and palm
(Chorus)
I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York
