Track Insight / Lyrics
Gears grind, pistons roar
Neon's strobe flash to the floor
Beneath the din, I ponder still
A heart of metal, forged in steel
In this underbelly, I reside
Basement jazz, whiskey by my side
Piano keys like skeletal hands
Skilled fingers dance, maps in the sand
But amidst the rhythmic din
In this mechanical skin
I hear the tender tune
Of a love long gone, too soon
Sabers of light slice through the haze
Cigarettes glow like warning flares
In patrons' cloaked and worn face
Reflections of the lives they've shared
But amidst the rhythmic din
In this mechanical skin
I hear the tender tune
Of a love long gone, too soon
Depth charges in the air
Bass drum rising, cymbals bare
Dissonance reaches a peak
As shards of pain cut deep
Fretboard ablaze, strings wail
A wretched, mournful, metallic trail
Through distorted, tortured sound
The sorrow spilling, falling out
But amidst the rhythmic din
In this mechanical skin
I hear the tender tune
Of a love long gone, too soon
As the last note fades to none
I'm left with echoes, broken and undone
A machine, hollow, cold and grey
Longing for the heart that got away
