Track Insight / Lyrics
Cassette tape, half asleep at dawn's soft edge
Awaiting riders, fishermen, or lovers' tender pledge
Foggy dawn, salted air, ferry dock heartbeat
My wires hum a lullaby, cradled in this gritty port
On worn velvet night, I devoured melodies
Star-crossed lovers, outlaws, dreamers, and sinner's reprieves
Your precious memories, etched in magnetic resonance
Now I'm here, guarding secrets, in this slumbering rest
In this melodic sanctuary, I'll keep your stories safe
A fragile witness to moments, both fleeting and irreplaceable
New day rising, yet I linger on, a nostalgic balm
For those who trouble the waters, and those who wait to fall
Dolce vita, sweet life, played out in rewind
Faded Polaroids, ghosts of love, laughter, and the lines
Ferry dock cry, the creaking wooden floorboards cry
Dolce vita, sweet life, no need to hold on tight
Summer's sweat, my plastic shell cradled in your palm
Midnight drunks and sleepy researchers, an eclectic band
City lights reflecting on the rippling water's skin
I held your whispers, dreams, and fears within
In this melodic sanctuary, I'll keep your stories safe
A fragile witness to moments, both fleeting and irreplaceable
New day rising, yet I linger on, a nostalgic balm
For those who trouble the waters, and those who wait to fall
Dolce vita, sweet life, played out in rewind
Faded Polaroids, ghosts of love, laughter, and the lines
Ferry dock cry, the creaking wooden floorboards cry
Dolce vita, sweet life, no need to hold on tight
The city stirs awake, but I remain still
A keeper of lost and found, my heart beats to a different will
In this modern age of progress, I'll hold the line
A humble messenger, your memories entwined
Dolce vita, sweet life, played out in rewind
Faded Polaroids, ghosts of love, laughter, and the lines
Ferry dock cry, the creaking wooden floorboards cry
Dolce vita, sweet life, no need to hold on tight
When my magnetic tape finally gives up the ghost
Your stories, my own secrets, will forever be lost
But for now, in this fleeting moment, as dawn breaks through
I keep your dolce vita, sweet life, forever true.
