Track Insight / Lyrics
Subway sighs a hollow tune
Three AM beneath the moon
Steel wheels whisper, cold and low
A silent story starts to grow
Dust motes dance in fading light
Reflecting off the platform bright
I hold a weight within my hand
A silver secret, understand?
It's grandfather's watch, a weathered face
Lost in time and lost in space
Still ticking, slow and deep
Secrets that the city keeps
Each second echoes in the grey
Watching moments slip away
Still ticking, holding on
To a memory, nearly gone
Brass and glass, a fragile art
Beating with a lonely heart
It's seen the world in shades of gold
Stories whispered, never told
I trace the hands, a gentle plea
To bring a past back to me
Still ticking, slow and deep
Secrets that the city keeps
Each second echoes in the grey
Watching moments slip away
Still ticking, holding on
To a memory, nearly gone
A woman's laugh, a distant train
A fleeting joy, a sudden pain
The watch remembers every sound
Lost and buried underground
It feels the rhythm of the street
A heartbeat steady, bittersweet
Still ticking, slow and deep
Secrets that the city keeps
Each second echoes in the grey
Watching moments slip away
Still ticking, holding on
To a memory, nearly gone
The platform waits, a concrete dream
A silent, flowing, silver stream
This tiny clock, a steadfast guide
Through shadows where my feelings hide
A connection strong, a whispered grace
Lost in time and found in this place
Neon flickers, pale and blue
Painting visions fresh and new
The rumble grows, a rising tide
As fleeting moments gently glide
I clutch it tight, a silver gleam
Lost inside a waking dream
Still ticking, slow and deep
Secrets that the city keeps
Each second echoes in the grey
Watching moments slip away
Still ticking, holding on
To a memory, carrying on
Tick, tock, the rhythm sighs
Beneath the New York skies
Still ticking, softly now
A promise whispered, somehow. Still ticking...
Still ticking...
