Track Insight / Lyrics
Projections flicker, humming quiet beneath the hum
Of diner lights outside, neon pastel, rain-washed gray
He sits in the back booth, lovers' paradise seat
Order up once, maybe twice, forgotten after that
The night wears slow, coffee steams in his cup
City sleeps outside, the world in a distant hush
But in here, in this booth, he finds his solace
Midnight serenade, a secret, sacred rhapsody
Lonely waitress hovers, bread basket in hand
Stale air clings, cigarette smoke lingers, don't ask why
She tries to make eye contact, but he's lost in thought
His hum's a constant, no one else can hear
The night wears on, rainwater's rhythmic beat
Outside the diner, life stirs in the streets
But in here, in this booth, he finds his solace
Midnight serenade, a secret, sacred rhapsody
He orders again, last chance to feel human
But the waitress forgets, or the kitchen does, so he stays
And hums and hums until the early morning light
An unseen, unsung prince in his private world, alright
First light creeps in, eyelids flutter, eyes focus
The coffee's cold, the waitress is gone, the diner's closed
He rises, takes his leave, steps out into the dew
Rain-slicked streets, city coming alive anew
But he'll return each night, to his special spot
Midnight serenade, a heart's own, heartfelt plot
Projections wink out, neon fades, the hum subsides
He's just another face, lost in the urban tide
