Track Insight / Lyrics
On tin claps and keys it sings a gritty hymn
A disjointed fugue in shards of broken rhyme
Insect wings of paper swirl in air
Faded ink ribbons, a tongueless prayer
But nights descend, a storm of neon hues
Glitzy specters stalking city's disturbed Muse
I haul my worn machine up the fire escape
To count the city's pulse, a techno love/hate
Neon nomad, tracing starburst streets
Where bits of love and lies in shadows meet
In this concrete maze, no haven to find
Only the city's rhythm, my shelter and shrine
Type by type, the night claims every line
In static fonts and grooves, the sounds align
Rain and sirens merge like a recording tape
In cyclical loops that only cease to ache
But then the lights flicker bright in the dark
Reflecting off wet streets with a neon spark
I crave the swirling vortex of the dancefloor throng
To lose myself in crowds where I belong
Neon nomad, tracing starburst streets
Where bits of love and lies in shadows meet
In this concrete maze, no haven to find
Only the city's rhythm, my shelter and shrine
Sub-bass growls like an animal in heat
Squelching synths conjure an acid beat
The cloudsynths buzz and moan a soaring high
In this kinetic jungle where night meets the sky
When sunrise looms, I'll leave the city's song
Retire to shadows shrouded by dawn's yawn
My typewriter now a relic of the night
Each word and phrase a fragment of the light
Insomnia's solace means I'm not alone
The city's pulse like a heartbeat in my bone
It fuels my restless drive, my endless flight
This hook for survival in urban night's delight
Neon nomad, tracing starburst streets
Where bits of love and lies in shadows meet
In this concrete maze, no haven to find
Only the city's rhythm, my shelter and shrine
Shadows creeping short as morning light
My thoughts scatter, lost beyond the city's flight
The typewriter's tale, a fractured rhyme
thinning as I descend, the neon's distant hum.
