Song meaning of City of Stars/May Finally Come True by Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone

Ah, yes, "City of Stars/May Finally Come True"! This song is the ultimate ode to Hollywood's delusion that love and stardom go hand in hand. It's almost like Sebastian and Mia are asking the city itself if it's rolling out the red carpet just for them. I mean, who needs a map or GPS to navigate a city when you've got your boo by your side, am I right? They seem to think that all they need is each other, some alcohol, and a few smoke-filled bars to truly bask in the glow of the city. But let's be honest, nothing says romance like a packed, sweaty restaurant and a stranger's cigarette smoke in your face. And don't even get me started on the chorus - it's a whole laundry list of things they think they need to experience love. A touch, a dance, a rat-tat-tat on the heart - I mean, it sounds like they're at a carnival, not in the city of dreams. But hey, if thinking that some city lights are gonna fix all their problems makes them feel good, then who are we to judge?
