Track Insight / Lyrics
Glisten of glass, strobe marking time
In the salt-etched air I watch the light's rhyme
I patrol the pier's dark steel spine
Waves wash, wind howls, my boots shine
Silhouettes of dreams fading behind
The neon sodden, a city's overstayed mind
Storm's breath whipping, chill and unforgiving
Salt spray stinging, the rush of forgetting
All ashore leave behind the things they cling to
Let the sea sweep 'em in, 'fore they get too blue
Neon puddles, streets alive
Midnight divas, city's cut-throat drive
All around the pier's dark steel sway
While I stand watch, the wind tears away
Fretted out, plugged in, ready to fill
Euphoric crowds beneath the strobe thrill
Systems firing, voices amped and bright
In the neon media dreamscape, we ignite
Massive kick and bass unchain the beast
Choppy vocal hits, a synthesized feast
Pulsing light and sound merge on the floor
Euphoria grips, the crowd's a swirling roar
Pier creaks, lights flicker, a rhythmic sway
The harbor's heartbeat in this never-ending day
Gulls cry out, lost in the city's din
I'm a solitary sentinel, till dawn's thin
Storm's breath whipping, chill and unforgiving
Salt spray stinging, the rush of forgetting
All ashore leave behind the things they cling to
Let the sea sweep 'em in, 'fore they get too blue
Neon puddles, streets alive
Midnight divas, city's cut-throat drive
All around the pier's dark steel sway
While I stand watch, the wind tears away
The lonely pier's a stage for all my thoughts
As I scan the waves, the city's distant plots
Neon lights, a hologram, the world's display
From here the city's dreams, and a lonely guard's way
Kick drum thunder, sub-bass rumble and rose
Synth stabs slicing, a relentless grow
Vocal attacks, euphoric rush in ohmes
Pierlithe night, the city's hyped and home
Pierlithe night's resilient pulse takes hold
Amidst the neon chaos, my spirit's gold
Midnight divas, city's pulse alive
Solitary sentinel, watching, till the city thrives
