Track Insight / Lyrics
Fading headlights down, the road unwinds
Eighty miles an hour, leaving behind
Every station's quiet as a tomb
Neon puddles, streets alive with no one home
Clutch and brake, racing pulse in time
Cities crackling, their borders sublime
My battered compass drifts with me still
Tracking the glow, my heart's cold thrill
Into the darkness, a singularity
Where sirens wail, a whirlwind velocity
I'm a solitary satellite in flight
Blazing trails, a nocturnal carnival tonight
Oh, neon nights, city velocity
Siren's call, a rhythm hypnotic and free
Neon drift, I'm riding the dark
A burning line, where the world falls stark
Neon drift, my quest is now defined
A neon highway, a mirage so divine
(Increasing hi-hat sizzle and bass underpinning)
Pulse beats faster, vision blurs the line
Racing through the night, with no one on my mind
Headlights sweeping, shadows grow long
Every mile devoured, to a place unknown
Neon Gulf, a siren's thrall
I'll chase the glow, before I take the fall
(Big, resonant, building sub-bass rumble)
Neon drift, oh, neon drift...
My quest complete, my journey brought
To the edge of dreams, where secrets sleep
I'll trade the compass for a neon bride
In the city's heart, where I'll reside
Fading lights of dawn, a new day's birth
Eighty miles behind, and I'm reborn in earth
Every station welcomes with warm delight
Neon puddles gone, but memories ignite
Clutch and brake, slowing heart in time
Cities slumbering, their borders prime
My compass rests, its drift complete
Tracking dreams, my heart's release
Neon drift, I'm riding the light
A burning line, where the world takes flight
Neon drift, my quest is now fulfilled
A neon highway, a treasure unveiled
(More subdued, with a hint of sub-bass warmth)
In the stillness, electric pulsars fade
As morning sun brings forth a new parade
The neon highway, a mirage now gone
Leaving only memories, for me to throng
In the city's heart, I find my home
Where neon nights and city velocity are known
(Big, resonant, massive sub-bass impact)
Neon drift, oh, neon drift...
My journey's end, my tale now spun
In the city's heart, where neon's done
I've traded my compass for a love so bright
In the endless night, under neon lights.
