Track Insight / Lyrics
Misty veil upon the bay,
Pier's wooden slats beneath
My boots, scuffed, worn from day
Of ferry deckhand work
Dusk descends, the bridge is lit
City lights blink, a neon line
Murmurs of the port drift fitfully
In and out of my wired mind
The hum of engines, diesel beat
Underneath, the tide's soft sigh
Each voyage sets my restless feet
Out on the waves, hemmed by night
Currents pull beneath the hull
Mystery in every undulation
And moment of calm repose, I fill
The foghorn's cry, a mournful call
Guiding lights, a beacon's role
Through the veils, I seek the wall
Ferry's edge, where dark meets pale
In perpetual motion, I prevail
Mist and moonlight, an eternal dance
Out here, my horizon's trance
Cargo holds and upper decks
Life jackets, ropes and nets
The deckhand's art, a sensory sync
With every cargo, every passenger
The rhythm of the bay's dark pulse
In harmony I play my drums
Synth squelches, sub-bass thrums
The drop, a psychedelic spin
Whispers of the city's hums
A euphoric, electronic din
In the stillness, I find my place
A story woven in every space
The scrubbed decks, the cargo hold
The wharf's worn planks, the city's gold
At dawn, the mist begins to lift
Reflecting in the bay's dark shift
The bridge looms, steel and steel
A symbol of progress, utility's wheel
Yet I remain on this uncertain keep
As the ferry glides, the world it meets
Ferry's edge, where dark meets pale
In perpetual motion, I prevail
Mist and moonlight, an eternal dance
Out here, my horizon's trance
In the constant flux and flow
I search for balance, a steady glow
The ferry, a vessel, not a home
Yet here's where I am, alone
TB303 hits, the rhythm roars
Release, the tension, the pressure scores
Neon ecstasy, a city high
Into the dawn, I sail bye-bye
As the dawn spreads, the mist departs
Leaving the city's glow on my heart
The ferry docks, my shift ends
The edges of the world, I transcend.
