Track Insight / Lyrics
Metallic heartbeat, motors purring
Neon sprawl in slumber, streets still yearning
Forgotten film in dusty case I found
A relic of the city's pulsing round
Where's the life in these deserted docks?
The hum of wheels, the rush of knocks?
Now cold light seeps in through the grates
As I scan frames, seeking human states
Echoes picking up, morning on the rise
Reverberations of a neon paradise
Shards of moments gaze back in time
Frozen frames of city rimes
Trains that never came, a terminal's ache
Vapors lingering, night'sivering shake
Through lens I sip the vapors thick
The city's essence, now a memory's trick
Empty taverns singing to the night
Laughter, shadows, gone without a fight
I wander alleys, past the vacant signs
Seeking life in city's buried lines
Echoes picking up, morning on the rise
Reverberations of a neon paradise
Shards of moments gaze back in time
Frozen frames of city rimes
In each shot a world, a story told
Secrets and allure, the city's gold
I'm the keeper of its sleeping face
A guardian of the neon shade
Beat kicks in, dawn's still hushed and pale
Synths pierce through, a euphoric hail
The surname stamps upon the frame
My city, in this dawn's gray, reclaimed
With the last frame spooled, I lay it down
The city's pulse, a fading sound
Echoes fade, the sun ascends its throne
Neon dreams dissolve, alone.
