In another field, in another place, in another world
Where the buildings rise tall as anything
They're surrounded by all the places where you could die
[Chorus]
But we're always trapped in the city walls
We're always caught within the city walls
Looking in, looking in
But I'm here with you in the city walls
And they can't hurt us within the city walls
'Cause if they do, if they do
[Post-Chorus]
They lose
[Verse 2]
Are you still aware of the spacе and time?
Do you think they know that they'rе only wasting their mind?
Although the world doesn't work for us
We can make our way 'til we finally turn to dust
[Chorus]
But we're always trapped in the city walls
We're always caught within the city walls
Looking in, looking in
But I'm here with you in the city walls
And they can't hurt us within the city walls
'Cause if they do, if they do
[Post-Chorus]
They lose
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
We embrace the dirt, celebrate the hurt
'Til we find a way to a different everyday
And we will drown walls to the city falls
And we stay in place 'cause there's nowhere else we know
[Chorus]
But we're always trapped in the city walls
We're always caught within the city walls
Looking in, looking in
But I'm here with you in the city walls
And they can't hurt us within the city walls
If they do, 'cause if they do
But we're always trapped in the city walls
We're always caught within the city walls
Looking in, looking in
But I'm here with you in the city walls
And you can't hurt us within the city walls
'Cause if they do, if they do
[Outro]
They lose
They lose
A canção "City Walls" é uma peça atmosférica e melancólica da banda britânica de rock progressivo e eletrónico Archive. A faixa faz parte do álbum intitulado Glass Minds (2026), uma obra que explora sonoridades densas e paisagens sonoras cinematográficas. Através de uma letra que evoca o isolamento e a claustrofobia das metrópoles modernas, a música utiliza a metáfora das "muralhas da cidade" para descrever as barreiras emocionais e sociais que nos rodeiam. O clipe, carregado de imagens surreais geradas com recurso a inteligência artificial, complementa esta mensagem ao apresentar figuras anacrónicas, como o médico da peste e astronautas em ambientes decrépitos, reforçando a ideia de que a humanidade vive num ciclo perpétuo de decadência e estranheza. É uma obra que convida à reflexão sobre a alienação urbana e a fragilidade da nossa existência perante o tempo e o progresso.
