Track Insight / Lyrics
I'm a bridge toll collector, counting lives
Underneath, the retro arcade hums and thrives
Synthesizers echo like distant sirens
I lock in my rhythm, night refrains within
Dancing shadows mock my miraged oasis
In this vibrant bubble, I'm lost without a prize
Lights from the games cast kaleidoscopes, tantalizing
A chase for satisfaction, ephemeral, always besieging
Refractions of a neon dream, hard to define
I'm lost in the reflections of a love that's not mine
A fleeting, mirage ecstasy, it disappears in the night
Leaving me with flickering longings that cast no light
In the darkness of my little office booth, I confess
The solitude is a wound that time cannot caress
Yet the arcade's synthetic heartbeat stays my hand
A rhythm I can hold, a solace in this isolating land
Dancing shadows mock my miraged oasis
In this vibrant bubble, I'm lost without a prize
Lights from the games cast kaleidoscopes, tantalizing
A chase for satisfaction, ephemeral, always besieging
Refractions of a neon dream, hard to define
I'm lost in the reflections of a love that's not mine
A fleeting, mirage ecstasy, it disappears in the night
Leaving me with flickering longings that cast no light
In this plastic world, I search for the real
A treasure hidden 'neath the gaudy appeal
But as the night draws on, the neon starts to fade
And I'm left with just my thoughts, my heart exposed and laid
Refractions of a neon dream, hard to define
I'm lost in the reflections of a love that's not mine
A fleeting, mirage ecstasy, it disappears in the night
Leaving me with flickering longings that cast no light
Neon puddles on the streets alive
Pulsing rhythms from the buzzing nightlife
I'll keep counting lives, in the shadows I'll reside
Dreaming of the glow, the synths and the lights inside
