Coeli wrote “Cityscapes” on around August of 2017 as she was wandering the streets of Bonifacio Global city (BGC). The song speaks about self-love and is dedicated to all the strong and independent women.
[Verse 1]
Lost in cityscapes
In an empty parking lot
I feel safe, staring at the cigarette butts on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
My mind is homeward bound
I'm counting the days 'till I find you
Though my loneliness is a friend I've gotten used to
I've waited long enough for you to come
Maybe waiting isn't for me at all
[Chorus]
I learned to fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
Hold up, hold up, I'm a woman after my own heart
I may be lost in cityscapes but on my own I'll find my way
[Verse 2]
I long for empty trains
I try my best to get by
Feeling safe as I go against the flow of the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
My mind is homeward bound
Caught in the phases(?), I'm caught in a drought(?)
I feel the longing for someone to come around
Oh me, I've waited long enough for you to come
Maybe waiting isn't for me at all
[Chorus]
I learned to fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
Hold up, hold up, I'm a woman after my own heart
I may be lost in cityscapes but on my own I'll find my way
[Bridge]
Sometimes I may cry and break with no one there to embrace
But I'm strong enough to pick myself up
Fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
Fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
Fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
[Chorus]
I learned to fill up, fill up, fill up my own cup
Hold up, hold up, I'm a woman after my own heart
I may be lost in cityscapes
I don't care how long it takes
I'm lost in cityscapes but on my own I'll find my way
[Instrumental]
