Track Insight / Lyrics
Cinna's dimly lit alcove, abandoned at night
Conducting a solo for the empty subway lane lights
Coins jingling, replaced by digital fare
Servos whirring in the vain promise of a train
Through the tunnel, the darkness wanes
As fluorescent lines illuminate the ghostly remains
Of passengers who'll find their stations, merge again
Into the urban tapestry, repeated refrain
Underneath the elevated, in the cells below
Where the city's heartbeat throbs out an endless waltz of wait and go
Step by step, against the steel and concrete flow
I'm dancing to the rhythm only known to lonely souls who stay
South Ferry Terminal, two AM, all aflutter
The gilded gates await, but trains arrive as scheduled
Minutes tick by in perpetual numerical repetition
Background noise until finally the hours of illumination
Through the tunnel, the darkness wanes
As fluorescent lines illuminate the ghostly remains
Of passengers who'll find their stations, merge again
Into the urban tapestry, repeated refrain
Underneath the elevated, in the cells below
Where the city's heartbeat throbs out an endless waltz of wait and go
Step by step, against the steel and concrete flow
I'm dancing to the rhythm only known to lonely souls who stay
Late-night visions fade like smoke as light surrounds
The solitary crossing, the echoed footsteps' sounds
In the hollowed echo chambers, fragmented faces abound
As the gates await, anticipation unbound
Underneath the elevated, in the cells below
Where the city's heartbeat throbs out an endless waltz of wait and go
Step by step, against the steel and concrete flow
I'm dancing to the rhythm only known to lonely souls who stay
Lesion lumina pulsebeat
Pulsing shadows flicker greyscale
Eyes aglow in city maps
