Track Insight / Lyrics
I'm pulled by ghosts of summer nights
Where headlights paint faces full of delight
The wind carries whispers of the past
Echoes of love that could never last
And now the empty lot just holds the rain
But in my mind, I still hear those sounds again
Strobe lights, strobe lights, flashing out of time
In the darkness, I'll find my rhyme
Strobe lights, strobe lights, a heartbeat in the night
Where love and lust collide
Faded frames of faces washed in red
Frozen in a moment when our passions fed
The hum of speakers, a bass in my chest
Pulse of a love that would not find rest
Oh, the embers of that firefly heat
Still ignite in my soul, electric and sweet
A nostalgic pulse, a phantom thrill
In synthetic rhythm, ancient love still
When the drive-in closed, the magic went away
But I still chase that neon high, night and day
For in the strobe's thrall, I felt so alive
In a fleeting pleasure, our hearts entwined
And now the empty lot just holds the rain
But in my mind, I still hear those sounds again
Strobe lights, strobe lights, flashing out of time
In the darkness, I'll find my rhyme
Strobe lights, strobe lights, a heartbeat in the night
Where love and lust collide
Even as the embers fade to ash
That forbidden spark within will never pass
In secret moments, when the city sleeps
I'll relive the magic in my dreams
Oh, the embers of that firefly heat
Still ignite in my soul, electric and sweet
A nostalgic pulse, a phantom thrill
In synthetic rhythm, ancient love still
Neon shadows dance upon the wall
Shimmering from the flicker on the drive-in screen
