As the sun fades into the rolling hills,
it's time to find some cheap thrills,
it's time to show my skills
We're gathered here to have fun
and forget about the past
There's much to talk about, much to see
No more waiting 'cause time is moving fast!

Do you feel that wind flowing in your hair?
Tell me, do you feel that energy in the air?
This incredible feeling inside of my heart. . .
This is the freedom I've always wanted
God, please let it last forever

*Chorus pt. 1
My city of angels shines here from two towns away
From night to day, illuminate the buildings seeped in gray
(Uh-oh)
My city of angels, my home away from home
The only place I can be me, where I can roam freely

Cruising through these lively streets,
our heads nodding to the beat
Your laughter rings loudly over the sound of
tears hidden in my heart

Do you feel that wind flowing in your hair?
Tell me, do you feel that energy in the air?
This incredible feeling inside of my heart. . .
Nostalgic scenery, warm memories
and love unparalleled

*Chorus pt. 2
My city of angels shines here from a few towns away
From night to day, illuminate the buildings seeped in gray
(Uh-oh)
My city of angels, will you take me back once more
to a time when nothing really mattered?

It's only now that I've realized how important this is to me
I was a fool not to understand it and a fool not to see
But now that you and everyone else are here beside me
Stay by my side for a while longer
and I'll show you what it means

With your hand in mine,
it's time to take off and soar into the endless night!

*Chorus pt. 1 repeat

*Chorus pt. 3
My city of angels shines here in my heart
The memories of you and my loved ones never part
(Uh-oh)
My city of angels, in the place that we met
- in this town that holds all that I love -
Let's watch the sunrise and the sunset

My city of angels
Forever in my heart

City of Angels

ENG: This song is for the album "SENSEITIONAL" for the 8th anniversary of Vocaloid, Hiyama Kiyoteru. https://dystop.bandcamp.com/album/senseitional
Vocal tuning/melody was made by DystoP & lyrics were written by 紅＿明り (Kurenai_Akari a.k.a. me)

"City of Angels" is a love letter to Los Angeles (which, not surprisingly, means "City of Angels" in Spanish). Although I don't live in L.A. or grew up there (I lived a half hour away from L.A. when I was a kid), I still consider it to be my hometown on a spiritual level. Every part of it, from Little Tokyo to the east side, holds many happy & bittersweet memories for me. Looking closer at the lyrics, one can see a bit of a transition of regret to understanding, the desire to be comfortable in one's own skin, the sobering act in letting of of the past & the importance of forming new memories in the present. It's taken me many years to learn some of these lessons, but luckily for me, it's never too late to start over.
