Track Insight / Lyrics
Streetlights bleed a hazy gold,
Another fare, another story told.
Compass spins, a silver gleam,
Counting steps within a fading dream.
Iron lace against the summer sky,
Fire escape where shadows lie.
Each footfall echoes on the stone,
Another mile, another life unknown.
This old compass knows the way,
Through the city's fading day.
Dust motes dance in the evening air,
A whispered promise, a silent prayer.
The engine hums a steady beat,
Pulling forward, bittersweet.
Tick-tock, silver wheel,
Footsteps turning, how I feel.
Iron dusk and city haze,
Lost in time, in a bygone maze.
Saw a woman with a painted smile,
Waiting patiently a little while.
Heard a saxophone, a lonely strain,
Washing through the falling rain.
This compass guides through every street,
Watching fortunes rise and retreat.
Dust motes dance in the evening air,
A whispered promise, a silent prayer.
The engine hums a steady beat,
Pulling forward, bittersweet.
Tick-tock, silver wheel,
Footsteps turning, how I feel.
Iron dusk and city haze,
Lost in time, in a bygone maze.
Young man rushing, late for his date,
Chasing shadows, tempting fate.
Old man sitting, watching the flow,
Of life unfolding, soft and slow.
This compass sees it all unfold,
Stories whispered, brave and bold.
Tick-tock, silver wheel,
Footsteps turning, how I feel.
Iron dusk and city haze,
Lost in time, in a bygone maze.
Smell of jasmine, sweet and low,
Summer breezes gently blow.
Headlights cut through smoky light,
Another journey through the night.
This compass doesn't judge or preach,
Just measures moments within reach.
Tick-tock, silver wheel,
Footsteps turning, how I feel.
Iron dusk and city haze,
Lost in time, in a bygone maze.
Each click and whir, a memory made,
Of passengers carried, promises laid.
The city sleeps, a weary sigh,
Beneath the vast and endless sky.
This compass guides me home again,
Until the morning, until then.
Silver spinning, soft and low,
Footsteps fading, to and fro.
Iron dusk, a gentle kiss,
Lost within this timeless bliss.
Tick-tock…tick-tock…fade.
