Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog crawls down the tracks, a cold misty friend
My faithful compass lies still, its needle bent
In this rail yard's shadowed heart, secrets I've unfurled
Of distant lands and lonely roads that yearned
To converge, to merge, to push beyond this point
When whispers would grow loud, demanding to be count
I've been the map, the path, the guiding light
Leading those who wander, through the dark of night
I've felt the weight of every step, every urge
To leave this place behind and forge a newer surge
But now I'm just a compass, sheltered and still
Seeking purpose, a new will
I yearn to find my direction, to chart my way
And lead the lost to distant, brightening day
From the silhouette of trees to the city's morning glow
My stories echo, a litany of those who know
The ache of wandering, facedown in the gravel and rain
With dreams that dwindle, fading like a distant train
Yet in each weary soul, a spark remains
A fire to keep moving, to chase the pain
I've been the map, the path, the guiding light
Leading those who wander, through the dark of night
I've felt the weight of every step, every urge
To leave this place behind and forge a newer surge
But now I'm just a compass, sheltered and still
Seeking purpose, a new will
I yearn to find my direction, to chart my way
And lead the lost to distant, brightening day
Perhaps tonight, the fog will lift, the stars appear
And in that moment, my path will clear
The train whistle echoes, a call to the road
My needle stirs, the compass awakes, ready to go
I'm just a compass, no longer still
Finding my direction, fulfilling my will
To lead the lost, to shine my light
And guide the wandering to morning's brighter sight
(Shimmering synths fade to silence. Static radio crackle remains.)
