Track Insight / Lyrics
Cab fares and city tales, the old man's speech flows
Faded keys await, no door to lock them in
Street lamps stand like sentinels, their glow hollow
A brass key's worthless in this neon night's chill
Lost and weary, eyes on the horizon's gleam
Seeking shelter from life's relentless mechanical
Dreams of home writ in distant headlights' beams
As city steel closes in, and another night screams
Neon refuge, a fleeting solace found
Harboring from the tempest's urban howl
Embers of escape, in flashing signs unbound
Neon refuge, where the lonely lose control
Moonlight pools on rain-slicked streets, a distant friend
Reflections of freedom, as the old man's journey never ends
A car backfires, shattering the still of the night
The brass key's carcass, a hollow, nightly refrain
Lost and weary, eyes on the horizon's gleam
Seeking shelter from life's relentless mechanical
Dreams of home writ in distant headlights' beams
As city steel closes in, and another night screams
Neon refuge, a fleeting solace found
Harboring from the tempest's urban howl
Embers of escape, in flashing signs unbound
Neon refuge, where the lonely lose control
In neon-lit alleys where lost souls reside
A moment of peace, before the city's relentless tide
The old man's heart still beats, though his dreams have died
In this brief respite, he finds a reason to survive
Neon refuge, a fleeting solace found
Harboring from the tempest's urban howl
Embers of escape, in flashing signs unbound
Neon refuge, where the lonely lose control
Neon flickers, shadows dance upon the wall
As in the morning light, the old man's story falls
No refuge found, yet still he'll roam and call
Searching for that door, and a key to fit at all.
