Track Insight / Lyrics
Neon lights reflect on glass and steel
Last call at the diner after the night shifts peel
My weary feet carry me down these empty halls
A lone waitress saves her soul from the cold, hard walls
Behind the counter, coffee grounds stain my skin
Dreams of sunlit fields buried, like love within
I face the mirror, face the dark and unseen
The station's glow, a promise, a distant light I've seen
Shadows fade to neon, in this city's pale glow
I climb the stairs, to where the last train goes
Carrying on, with every step, into the unknown dark
Shadows fade to neon, leaving just my stark
A platform bathed in sodium light reveals
The midnight city, cold, with stories yet to be sealed
The hum of engines, a promise and a call
I'll lose myself in the crowd, never to fall
Behind the counter, coffee grounds stain my skin
Dreams of sunlit fields buried, like love within
I face the mirror, face the dark and unseen
The station's glow, a promise, a distant light I've seen
Shadows fade to neon, in this city's pale glow
I climb the stairs, to where the last train goes
Carrying on, with every step, into the unknown dark
Shadows fade to neon, leaving just my stark
Guitars pound the ground, a frenzied tribal beat
Bass throbs deep, a pulsing mechanical heat
Drums crack and snare, a chaotic whirlwind rise
A maelstrom of warped electronics screams to the skies
Elliott's six-string sledgehammer shreds and claws
A sonic maelstrom that rips the roof away in laws
Feedback-laden power chords, lightning-fast arpeggios
His fingers dance a deadly ballet of fury and woe
Shadows fade to neon, in this city's pale glow
I climb the stairs, to where the last train goes
Carrying on, with every step, into the unknown dark
Shadows fade to neon, leaving just my stark
Neon lights glow brighter now as the dawn arrives
I'm swallowed by the crowd as
the last train departs in silence
Into the day into the dark into the city's slow night
Shadows fade to neon, I move on, in neon light.
