Track Insight / Lyrics
I'm a small boat on blackened waters
Metal keel creaking beneath
Neon reflections off the pavement
A phantom audience that's never here
Whispers secrets 'round the corner
Where misted alleys lead to nowhere
In the heart of Night City's labyrinth
I'll keep my watch, patient as a gargoyle
A silent guardian in the shadows
Secret keeper of a thousand stories
Neon vigil, alone and alight
Watching, waiting for the city's life
Anchored to this concrete shore
Neon vigil, forever more
Synthetic rhythm snakes beneath my hull
Electronic ghosts of discarded souls
Industrial stabs a metallic heartbeat
Pounding out the rhythm of the night
Tension builds in near-silent seconds
Until finally, I lift off with the crowd
Neon pulses grip my hollow chest
Electro din, a mesmerizing crest
Confetti of lights in dizzying swirl
A kaleidoscope of urban whirl
Vocal snips dissolve and reassemble
As enterprise and desire embrace
Overhead, a constellation of signs
Neon constellations crisscross the skies
A digital age astral plane
Guiding wanderers through city's maze
Reaching for stars in glass and facet
Night City's promise, always leaping
Neon vigil, alone and alight
Watching, waiting for the city's life
Anchored to this concrete shore
Neon vigil, forever more
Here in the dark where shadows play
I'll hold the city's ephemeral sway
Guarding secrets of the urban heart
As the neon pulse begins a new start
Melodic synths pierce the neon haze
Rising, soaring to ethereal daze
Pitched vox weave an aural spell
A euphoric lift, an inner bell
Neon vigil shines on as the crowd
Sways, lost in the city's shimmering cloud
Neon night glow, dark waters below
City's pulse, my vigil, my glow
