If a city
If a city
If a city is set upon a hill
Under the flight of birds
Over on the Downs
Are the flights of birdsong
If under the Golden Calf
Dozing buried under
Under the grass and moss
In the sweet shadow of that hill
If the middle of the well is a wing of glod
Down the passed path
Ang long along the way
Is a city
And if that city holds a man
And in that man
Is a city on the heights of all the planets
That have uprised
And upset the stars
And in that woman
Who circles that city
Her musk trace sliver
Under her feet
If the city street is silent
And mute dogs surround
The woman who circles the city
In the field she lies
And over her bed
Shakes beyond the daisies
Of the city wall
Beyond past the flowers
That flow like queens
Into the city set upon a height
The pitchforks by home
In the throat of the corn
His eyes; the colours
Of clouds at nights
If before the sunflowers
Drowned by those suns
If by those flowers
The city is unwell
I am still there
Inside you like a city
And if the city gate is shut
In the day and not the night
If the peacock is banished
And burns with a song
If under God's wing
By the jawbone and hee-haw
The donkey creeps silently
Through the door in the hall
Then plague and mice
And the woodlice stream
If A City... - 夢洛伊

If a city
If a city
If a city is set upon a hill
Under the flight of birds
Over on the Downs
Are the flights of birdsong
If under the Golden Calf
Dozing buried under
Under the grass and moss
In the sweet shadow of that hill
If the middle of the well is a wing of glod
Down the passed path
Ang long along the way
Is a city
And if that city holds a man
And in that man
Is a city on the heights of all the planets
That have uprised
And upset the stars
And in that woman
Who circles that city
Her musk trace sliver
Under her feet
If the city street is silent
And mute dogs surround
The woman who circles the city
In the field she lies
And over her bed
Shakes beyond the daisies
Of the city wall
Beyond past the flowers
That flow like queens
Into the city set upon a height
The pitchforks by home
In the throat of the corn
His eyes; the colours
Of clouds at nights
If before the sunflowers
Drowned by those suns
If by those flowers
The city is unwell
I am still there
Inside you like a city
And if the city gate is shut
In the day and not the night
If the peacock is banished
And burns with a song
If under God's wing
By the jawbone and hee-haw
The donkey creeps silently
Through the door in the hall
Then plague and mice
And the woodlice stream

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
以城市為隱喻探討存在與靈魂的辯證，描繪虛實交錯的意識地景。
主題
存在主義的自我審視、城市與靈魂的雙重性、自然與文明的對立與交融。
情緒
沉靜中蘊藏壓抑，帶有冥想性與詩意的疏離感，末段透露微弱的縈繞執念。
意象與手法
1. 「城市」作為靈魂的隱喻，象徵內在世界與社會結構的雙重性。
2. 自然元素（飛鳥、草地、玉米）與建築意象（城牆、門扉）形成對比，凸顯人文與自然的張力。
3. 神話符碼（金牛犢、上帝之翼）與日常細節（木虱、鴨子）並置，製造超現實的敘事張力。
重點句解讀
1. 「If a city is set upon a hill」（如果一座城市建在山上）
– 以地理條件隱喻精神高度，暗示城市既是實體也是心靈的象徵性存在。
2. 「In that woman / Who circles that city / Her musk trace sliver」（在那繞行城市的女子／她氣味如銀絲般縈繞）
– 用「氣味」與「銀絲」描繪無形的牽絆，暗示主體與城市間難以割捨的意識連結。
3. 「If the city gate is shut / In the day and not the night」（若城市之門只在白天關閉）
– 門的開閉時間隱喻理性與感性的權力更迭，暗示潛意識在黑夜的活躍。
4. 「I am still there / Inside you like a city」（我仍停留在／如城市般在你體內）
– 將「我」與「城市」同構，表達存在感的滲透性與不可消除性。
適合情境
獨處時凝視內在的沈思時刻、面對社會壓力時的自我對話、或閱讀詩歌時的沉浸狀態。
