Track Insight / Lyrics
Reverberating fade in of filtered strings
Wind-whipped cobblestones, slick with morning dew
Alleyway shadows clinging like a lover's cue
I huddle close, the piano's warmth, a beacon in this dankness
Borrowed time, 'til the world ceases its madness
Grey skies weeping, frozen tears upon the stone
The echoes of a bygone era, swallowed by the zone
Where city's pulse beats slow, a melancholy sway
Cold, forsaken refuge, from the oncoming day
Stranded in the gloom, where neon dreams expire
A fleeting moment's peace, before the rain descends in fire
I play out my hiding, in this vertical snow
Stranded in the shadows, where the city's secrets grow
Raindrops start to patter, on the tin-roofed piano lid
Melodic whispers bleeding out, into the winter's tid
A fragile soundtrack, for a desolate scene
I'm the forgotten musician, composing in the deep freeze
Stranded in the gloom, where neon dreams expire
A fleeting moment's peace, before the rain descends in fire
I play out my hiding, in this vertical snow
Stranded in the shadows, where the city's secrets grow
Slap bass riff, punchy horn hits, filtered strings swell
Four-on-the-floor kick, Nile Rodgers guitar complements well
Perhaps this urban sanctuary, will soon be lost to time
A lone melodic witness, to the city's endless rhyme
And as I leave my haven, return to desolate streets
I'll carry the piano's heartbeat, in the rhythm of my feet
Stranded in the gloom, where neon dreams expire
A fleeting moment's peace, before the rain descends in fire
I play out my hiding, in this vertical snow
Stranded in the shadows, where the city's secrets grow
Distant thunder rumbles, as I pack up and depart
The pianos' sweet serenade, echoes in the storm's heart
Stranded in the gloom, with secrets heartfelt and shared
Until next time, in the city's pulsing, neon-scarred.
