Soul Lady & The Secret City

~♬✧♬~  
    
A magnificence so mystical    
Sparkles past the skyscrapers    
Pedestrians in 12 directions    
Sneaking the tangled alleyways    
     
Traffic lights leave a scent slowly,    
Invigorating you    
Their rainbow sparkle,    
Illuminates your hollow heart    
     
In hidden streets,    
Everyone shows their colours    
But in the intersections everybody’s    
Inspected under watchful eyes    
     
Though you feel inside    
From every corner    
This glittering sound    
Is a different side of you...    
     
Soul city girl~    
At the touch of your fingertips,    
Soulful sweetheart~    
You can do almost anything    
There is a rhythm in your heart    
Dancing along the rush hour line    
     
Unravelling the mystery    
Of the real world    
     
Soul city girl~    
With sunglasses polarized    
Soulful sweetheart~    
Dashing even at first glance    
You’re just a girl,    
With a wiser heart    
Who hears the backstreets,    
Beneath the black and white    
     
(It’s you...)    
     
*mystical instrumental*    
     
A ticket in your hand    
Makes the possible come alive    
Even just a single chance could,    
Change everything    
     
No, you won’t do a second-glance    
It strikes a chord inside your heart    
You may not know why,    
Or not know how,    
But you just know...    
     
The hidden streets,    
Where darkness likes to roam    
Even a mainstream master runs away    
So terrified of the misunderstood    
     
Though you feel inside    
From every corner    
This glittering sound    
Shows a new side of the moon...    
     
Soul city girl~    
At the touch of your fingertips,    
Soulful sweetheart~    
You can do almost anything    
There is a rhythm in your heart    
Entering into a whole new universe...    
     
Now,    
Do you see what lies behind?    
     
Each of us,    
Living a secret mystery life~    
     
Soul city girl~    
At the touch of your fingertips,    
Soulful sweetheart~    
You can do almost anything    
There is a rhythm in your heart    
Dancing along the rush hour line    
     
It’s your secret side    
That no one knows of    
     
Soul city girl~    
With sunglasses polarized    
Soulful sweetheart~    
Dashing even at first glance    
You’re just a girl,    
With a wiser heart    
Who hears the backstreets,    
Beneath the black and white    
     
(It’s you...)

Everyone has a special secret hidden in the crux of their heart. Even the strangers, to whom you don't even give a second glance, they have a secret that has made their story special. Happy, dark or mysteriously in-between, this secret is significant cause it has shaped who you've become. It is integral to your story.

This song originally called "Soul Lady" is sung by the immaculate spirit of Citypop in South Korea, Yukika

I know I've said this about so many other songs...but Yukika's song is like magic reincarnated into a Citypop sensation. It is an absolute fucking masterpiece.    
     
These English lyrics are made by me.

Author's Note
Soul Lady is a regular city girl, but, like the city she lives in, has a story that no one knows about. She is an explorer of the unknown, a voyager who has gotten wiser from learning the colours of urban life. Beyond the black and white existence of mainstream trends, Soul Lady discovers a City of Secrets in the alleyways of her metropolis. It's a place where everyone has definitely been before, but that no one really wants to speak about.
