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... - 趙翊帆

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
以城市為隱喻探討存在與消逝的哲思，描繪文明與自然、個人與宇宙的矛盾關係。
主題
存在主義的質問與城市意象的解構，探討人類文明的脆弱性與內在精神的高遠追求。
情緒
沉靜中隱藏焦慮，帶有孤寂與疏離感，同時蘊含對永恆的嚮往與對崩壞的預感。
意象與手法
運用「城市」作為核心隱喻，結合自然元素（飛鳥、草地、星際）與宗教符碼（金牛、上帝之翼），透過矛盾對比（「沉默街頭」與「星體動搖」）強化存在與虛無的張力。
重點句解讀
1. 「If a city is set upon a hill」
城市建於高處象徵理想或不可企及的目標，卻也暗示其與現實的隔離與脆弱。
2. 「In that man / Is a city on the heights of all the planets」
個人內在竟藏有超越性的宇宙規模，隱喻人類精神的廣袤與與宇宙的連結。
3. 「The woman who circles that city / Her musk trace sliver」
女性形象象徵循環的守護者，其蹤跡如銀絲般細微，暗示存在於邊緣的隱密力量。
4. 「If the city street is silent / And mute dogs surround」
沉默與沉默的守護者形成壓抑氛圍，暗示文明崩壞前的靜默危機。
適合情境
獨處沉思、面對人生轉折時，或在都市中感受疏離與孤獨的瞬間。
