Track Insight / Lyrics
Faded spurs, armored vest, sword in scabbard
Resting 'neath the arches, before the cafes unfurl
Nights like this, I stay out 'til dawn's first light
Distant music pulsing, neon signs strung like diamonds bright
One more swig, one more sputter
Then I'll sheathe my blade, duck into the gutter
Tomorrow's battles, they can wait
For now, just let the city vibrate
Neon waltz alone, through Rome's forgotten veins
Euphoria and sorrow, entwined in these neon flames
Neon waltz alone, as city beats like a drum
Elevating me above, these nocturnal scum
Flickering lights, electronic heartbeat
Siren calls, distant, luring the lost and defeated
In these stolen moments, I'm free from the strife
But dawn's not far off, and I must once again clip
Neon lights ablaze, the night's alive
Synthetic pulse, my heart revives
Electronic symphony,hauntingly sweet
A fleeting respite, from the darkness that I meet
Cafes now bustling, the sun's creeping in
I shouldered the weight of the world, standing tall and thin
The waltz's allure, the neon's hypnotic trance
Distant memories, of love and innocence
One more sip, one more sigh
Then I'll rise and face the day's uncertain sky
The road ahead, riddled with thorns
But in the neon glow, my spirit's reborn
Neon waltz alone, through Rome's forgotten veins
Euphoria and sorrow, entwined in these neon flames
Neon waltz alone, as city beats like a drum
Elevating me above, these nocturnal scum
In the dawn's first light, I'll leave this alleyway
The sword, still heavy, the scars, still gray
But in the neon lights, I'll find my peace
Until the cycle starts, and the night releases
Neon flickers fade, the waltz subsides
Streetlamps dim to embers, as night succumbs to dawn's tides
Though the solace's fleeting, I'll return to this place
To lose myself in neon, and the city's relentless pace
Cobblestone echoes, stale cigarette breath
Morning light creeps over, the night's sweet death.
