Track Insight / Lyrics
Night shift on the Maiden's Pride,
Rain pours down in rhythmic ride
Passing in the lull between,
24 hour laundry's neon sheen
Faces ghostly bathed in glow,
The echoes of steps, slow to and fro
Mirrored in the puddles wide,
Miles of wet, melancholy pride
In this heavy symphony,
Lost in the reflections deep and free
Moments from lives unknown,
In these pulses, these footfalls shown
There's solace found, a sense of place,
In the solemn, heartfelt, steady pace
Rainy footsteps, solitary trails,
Washed clean of yesterday's smudges and fail
Hushed confessions, whispered tales,
Storied soles and fingers tired from gales
Rainy footsteps keep on beating time
For the weary, and the disillusioned, sublime
Under steaming sun or starless skies,
This deck has seen a million sighs
From dreamers worn by life's hard toll,
To lovers seeing out a binge, or make a goal
Some find release in bitter tears,
While others nurse their secret fears
In every squelch and every drip,
A thousand stories ebbed and rip
In this heavy symphony,
Lost in the reflections deep and free
Moments from lives unknown,
In these pulses, these footfalls shown
There's solace found, a sense of place,
In the solemn, heartfelt, steady pace
Rainy footsteps, solitary trails,
Washed clean of yesterday's smudges and fail
Hushed confessions, whispered tales,
Storied soles and fingers tired from gales
Rainy footsteps keep on beating time
For the weary, and the disillusioned, sublime
Through the blur of rain and neon haze,
In the lonely weave of hushed parade,
Each step, each tale, each heart that beats,
Finds solace in its fellow feet
In quiet understanding, kinship found,
The rhythm of the weary, the unwind
Rainy footsteps, solitary trails,
Washed clean of yesterday's smudges and fail
Hushed confessions, whispered tales,
Storied soles and fingers tired from gales
Rainy footsteps keep on beating time
For the weary, and the disillusioned, sublime
Splash, pump, splash, pump, tread upon the deck
A lonely beat requiem, shadows brought to life
