Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusted hull, creaking sound
On concrete platform, slowly found
Wooden planks, worn smooth by time
Echoes of footfalls, long fade to chime
Subway lights flicker, casting glow
A solitary refuge, no wake to show
Midnight's peace descends, cloaking all
In
The silence, I find solace after the call
In the stillness, I am free
From the world that rushes me
With each heartbeat, I am there
Where the rowboat lingers, forgotten in the air
Metallic hinges squeal, protesting dawn
Illuminated palm trees, shadows cast and gone
The last train's rumble fades to sleep
Leaving only me, in this moment deep
Sympathetic resonance, the boat harmonizes
With the distant pulses of the city's heart - it's
A primal rhythm that never falls still
As I meditate on all that's real
Scattered trash, tangled vegetation
Nature's claim upon the abandoned machine
Faded lake and forest, memories stay
But the boat remains, in this concrete gray
Railway bridge looms, a metal dragon's spine
Connecting worlds in a topside line
I am between, in this no man's land
Juxtaposed eras, hand in hand
In the stillness, I am free
From the world that rushes me
With each heartbeat, I am there
Where the rowboat lingers, forgotten in the air
Forever between two lives, two lies
Frozen in time, yet living inside
The intersection of worlds, a fleeting thought
In the rusting solace, my spirit's caught
Each creaking sigh, a symphony
Echoes fading, the beat of me
In the dying embers, I remain
Where the rowboat rusts, in the concrete rain
(The lapping of water, now distant, fades)
Carrying with it whispers of the all
That comes and goes, in waves, in life
As I sit, alone, in the rowboat's strife.
