Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
A carousel ghost, a lonely sight.
Steel bones creak with autumn's call,
The camera waits, to capture all.
Old Kodak sits upon a shelf,
A silent witness to itself.
Park gates locked, the laughter gone,
Just faded paint at break of dawn.
It knows the secrets, every turn,
Of summer days we'll never learn.
Rust and reels, a memory's hold,
Stories untold, turning cold.
Click and whirr, the lens does see,
A world that was, for you and me.
Rust and reels, the film unwinds,
Leaving yesterday behind.
The Ferris wheel, a skeletal frame,
Whispering echoes of a childhood name.
Empty benches, weathered and worn,
Where promises whispered, newly born.
The camera's eye, a steady gaze,
Through golden haze of bygone days.
Rust and reels, a memory's hold,
Stories untold, turning cold.
Click and whirr, the lens does see,
A world that was, for you and me.
Rust and reels, the film unwinds,
Leaving yesterday behind.
A chipped teacup, a dropped balloon,
Lost treasures beneath the harvest moon.
The scent of popcorn, sweet and faint,
A lingering ghost, a wistful complaint.
The camera focuses, sharp and clear,
Holding moments ever near.
Rust and reels, a memory's hold,
Stories untold, turning cold.
Click and whirr, the lens does see,
A world that was, for you and me.
Rust and reels, the film unwinds,
Leaving yesterday behind.
The wind howls through the broken glass,
Time marches on, shadows pass.
But in each frame, a vibrant hue,
A piece of us, forever true.
The camera breathes, a gentle sigh,
As seasons drift and slowly fly.
A single swing set, gently sways,
Lost in the amber autumn days.
The carousel horses stand so still,
Frozen moments on the hill.
The camera clicks, a final plea,
To remember what used to be.
Rust and reels, a memory's hold,
Stories untold, turning bold.
Click and whirr, the lens does see,
A world that was, for you and me.
Rust and reels, the film unwinds,
Leaving yesterday behind.
Fading light, a whispered grace,
A forgotten smile, in this lonely place.
Rust and reels, forevermore,
Memories linger at the park door.
