Track Insight / Lyrics
In this fluorescent heart, a forgotten place
My friends have long since moved on to better space
But still I linger, trying to find my way
Through this endless cycle of wash and grey
In the downpour, I watch you pass
Riding by in the neon rain at last
My discarded dreams, swept up in the tide
Vapor trails of what could never abide
Laundry twirls, a modern dance in the dark
Indifferent to my melancholy heart
As machines hum, I ponder what's been lost
Love, laughter, lives, all forever crossed
In the downpour, I watch you pass
Riding by in the neon rain at last
My discarded dreams, swept up in the tide
Vapor trails of what could never abide
Gears whir as the cycle goes round
Wash, rinse, spin, the rhythm astounds
Jurassic machines, stone age prints
Nature's forgotten nursery rhymes
Neon puddles reflect the city's glow
Streets alight with the living low
Through the storm, they're making their way
In the downpour, a new day begins, come what may
In the laundromat's fluorescent glow
A paper plane takes its final go
Driven by rain, by gravity's law
Flutters, soars, and then it fades away
In the downpour, I watch it rise
My spirit, too, must learn to compromise
Between the pain of what's past
And the hope that will forever last
The neon sign's pulse, a lullaby
As rain subsides, and daytime sky
Cleanses the city's sin and grime
And in the calm, I find my time
