Track Insight / Lyrics
Staring down a 1982 subway line
Tiles worn smooth, echoing through time
Adrift in concrete, a future lost
In the glow of signs, in neon-cost
Unraveling threads of a route unknown
Cold consoles sobbing, lights gone to stone
Colors in the dark, reflected off glass
A ghost of what is past
I wander down to the lonely diner booth
At three a.m.'s solitary truth
Where steel reigns and the city holds its breath
In neon puddles, streets alive with death
Sirens wail like a wounded electronic song
The subterranean pulse beats strong and long
Neon cathedral of a city's twisted crown
Where dreams are swallowed by the system's frown
Massive sub-bass impact, crushing the night
Vocal chops weaving through hypnotic light
Cities never sleep, this is their cold shrine
Ghost trains etching their tracks in time
A labyrinth of steel,-metallic rhyme
Each station a world where I can never stop
A fleeting glimpse of a love left to drop
I wander down to the lonely diner booth
At three a.m.'s solitary truth
Where steel reigns and the city holds its breath
In neon puddles, streets alive with death
In this concrete jungle, with walls alive
They say the city sings if you know how to thrive
But here in the shadows, the neon never blinds
Only the pulse of the underground, in my mind
Lost in the depths, the subway's heart beats strong
Cities sleep in silence, neon's eternal song
Echoes of what was, of love and what could be
In the seamless web of the urban symphony
Back to the maps, back to the steel
A solitary figure, in neon's cold reveal
With every step, a path unwinds
In the underbelly, a story left behind
