Little Dragon - Ritual Union

"no vacancy" is an urban hymn of overcrowding and isolation — a city that never sleeps, yet leaves no space to breathe. Between flickering neon, endless corridors, and faceless crowds, Sadbloom searches for a place of her own. A track painted in poetic imagery, melancholic intensity, and a voice cutting through the suffocating silence.

Lyrics:

flickering neon over concrete beds  
the city hums its lullabies in red  

every window glows but never opens  
every hallway hums with borrowed names  
i knocked on doors of rented futures  
all the answers sound the same  
keys that fit but turn to rust  
promises that turn to dust  
billboards whisper: “stay in line”  
no vacancy for a mind like mine  

no vacancy, no space to breathe  
crowded streets where i can’t leave  
no vacancy, no room to be  
this city has no place for me  

subway tunnels sing in empty choirs  
fluorescent saints with plastic crowns  
every prayer is sold on monthly trial  
every silence priced in pounds  
beds of stone, they call it home  
numbers carved into the bone  
when the system shuts the lights  
i dream in alleys dressed in night  

no vacancy, no space to breathe  
crowded streets where i can’t leave  
no vacancy, no room to be  
this city has no place for me  

move along—  
the signs keep glowing, you don’t belong  

no vacancy, no space to breathe  
crowded streets where i can’t leave  
no vacancy, no room to be  
this city has no place for me
