Track Insight / Lyrics
Gears grating, pistons pounding, a rhythmic heartbeat
Neon high beams cut through gauzy fog, illuminating shadowed streets
Rusty rails, overgrown with thistles, behind me as I cruise
The nitrous hum is song enough, as I o'erpass the idle snooze
A chorus of jackhammers in the distance, echoing off the grey
I'm chasing nothing, everywhere, beneath the freeway's heavy way
Putting pedal to the floor, the engine roars to life
A molten blast of torque and power, breaking through the eons' strife
In the rearview, life slips away, into a Dickensian haze
My world, a speeding bullet, leaving the past's chains in daze
I'm a man on fire, raging on the open road
Fuel for my machine, a burning precious load
Torque and speed, my only creed, nothing else I know
Freeway frenzy, racing into the night's dark woe
Flickering sodium lights, a strobe's jarring beat
Concrete pillars blur, a fractured, alien city street
Beneath my wheels, a symphony of scraping, crunch and screech
My focus narrow, on the road ahead, reaching for psychic release
Putting pedal to the floor, the engine roars to life
A molten blast of torque and power, breaking through the eons' strife
In the rearview, life slips away, into a Dickensian haze
My world, a speeding bullet, leaving the past's chains in daze
I'm a man on fire, raging on the open road
Fuel for my machine, a burning precious load
Torque and speed, my only creed, nothing else I know
Freeway frenzy, racing into the night's dark woe
In this fleeting moment, I am free, unshackled completely
No past, no future, only the present's ecstasy
The roar of my engine, my heart, my soul united
As one with my machine, unbreakable, defiant and heightening
I'm a man on fire, raging on the open road
Fuel for my machine, a burning precious load
Torque and speed, my only creed, nothing else I know
Freeway frenzy, racing into the night's dark woe
Adrenaline spent, my heartbeat slows to a steady hum
The neon glows, a fading dream, as dawn begins to come
