Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon pulsing signs
626 Berkeley
'82 subway map unfurled
Crinkled vinyl creaks
Crisp night air, damp pavement
Graffiti-streaked, soot-stained walls
Flickering recessed lights
Whirring, clanking wheels and rails
Time capsule, hiding in plain sight
Now propelled through the void's dark night
Schedules obsolete, unnamed stops
Suspended in infinity's open plots
Cosmic subway, labyrinth of steel
Ever-forward, ever-reeling
Stars reflected in the glass
Windows to a phantom past
Asteroid field, shattered moonlight
Alien ripples through the cosmic brine
Stations blur, whispers fade
Replaced by chimes in vapid shades
Electromagnetic melody
Shimmering signal in the nebula
Attend the celestial ride
Synthetic harmony abides
Weightless curves, dimly lit
Microgravity's disorienting fit
Frozen faces, eyes closed tight
Thrilling terror, timeless flight
No terminus, no final stop
Just endless, drifting light
Cold indifference sets in
Humanity's lost, in techno spin
Cosmic subway, labyrinth of steel
Ever-rolling, ever-reeling
Stars reflected in the glass
Windows to a phantom past
In this silent screams of steel
Whispers of a distant world
Orbiting the infinite
In a haunting, metallic court
Transit through the astral night
Electromagnetic light
Infinity's steel refrain
Neon, pulsing, endless lane
626 Berkeley fades
Subway map drifts, and so we sail
Cosmic subway, cosmic steel
Through the void, and onward we deal
