Track Insight / Lyrics
Amidst the deserted cityscape she walks alone
Each step resounding, magnified on the concrete stone
As street lamps flicker, neon signs ablaze
She searches the distance with a brass telescope's gaze
[Pre-
Hopeful for the final train's arrival
The cables sway like dancers swishing by
Seeking safety in the morning light
A refuge from the empty city's endless night
Through the strobe frame of the station clock
She races, chased by an almost-over moment's rock
In the strobe beams, she's hypnotized
Searching for a signal, time's disguise
[Build-
Rising anticipation in her chest
The seconds lengthen, the shadows nest
The pulse of the city accelerates
She strains to see past the hypnosis, the haste
Neon puddles on the platform floor
The city's heartbeat, her feet on the floor
Sofia finds her rhythm, in sync with the beat
Strobe lights strobing, lost in the neon heat
Headlights from the oncoming train
A charging beast through the darkness wanes
She's reaching the edge of the platform's edge
One last look at the city's neon pledge
Through the strobe frame of the station clock
She races, chased by an almost-over moment's knock
In the strobe beams, she's hypnotized
Searching for a signal, time's disguise
Caught between past and future's sway
The threshold blurs in the strobe's gray
One final check on the city's face
Then the train arrives, her escape
With a lurch, the doors slide open wide
Acknowledging the last passenger to abide
Sofia takes a seat, exhales a sigh
As the train carries her into the sky
Out of the strobe's frame, she's released
Through the tunnel, the city's endless tease
Until the next stop, when she'll again
Search through the strobe frames, where moments spin
