Track Insight / Lyrics
In Sydney's harbor cove, a haven from the night
A vintage road bike leans, silver profile lit
By city lights reflected, ripples on the tide
The wind whispers secrets, tales the rider can't hide
In this secret place, where shadows dance and play
Heart beats fast the world fades
as the stars come out to say
Take me somewhere, anywhere, for a while, just tonight
Let the city's pulse integrate with the rhythm of my life
Racing through the darkness, I chase the neon rays
Midnight bends in distant lights, a cycling world astray
Feeling free, yet trapped, in this urban, lonely space
Through curves and straightaways, the ride's my only escape
Pedals pumping fast, the coast line hums beneath my wheels
Boundary lines blur, stresses and worries fade and peel
Fearless, lost in the ride, where no one's in my way
Chasing bypassed dreams, their ghosts now fading fast
Through bends and tunnels, the night's where I find my past
A fleeting, stolen moment, captured in the glow
The bike and roads a silken
thread a memory yet to grow
A midday's sunburned skin, now calloused, tired and pale
The old bike, my companion, through Sydney's road trail
In this secret place, where shadows dance and play
Heart beats fast the world fades
as the stars come out to say
Take me somewhere, anywhere, for a while, just tonight
Let the city's pulse integrate with the rhythm of my life
Racing through the darkness, I chase the neon rays
Midnight bends in distant lights, a cycling world astray
Feeling free, yet trapped, in this urban, lonely space
Through curves and straightaways, the ride's my only escape
To pedal backwards time, to youth, to reckless need
To have a moment's peace, before the responsibilities seep
But here, or anywhere, I'll ride and let go tonight
In Sydney's coves, my heart still sings its fight
Midnight, neon, speed, the road, the ride, the ghosts
A rhythmic symphony that echoes back to the throes
Of youth's impatient heart and hands that clenched the bars
To chase the world, to lose myself, to leave my scars
(Exhale, Wind Subsides, Fade to Darkness)
