Track Insight / Lyrics
Dawn breaks, silver on the waves
Ferry terminal empty, just a man waiting
Hair tousled, stubble stained, The Clash on worn tape
Grabs the deck rail, lost in the morning haze
Stuck in neutral, engine cold as stone
Midnight miles backing up, night's long gone
Silence till this sunrise, where will he go?
Tape rebel, stuck in neutral, spinning slow
Plastic lifeline, running out of places to go
Carved out memories, in hiss and hum and noise
Stranded beauty, on a cassette's fading joys
Dust motes spiral, caught in sun's pale glow
The ship's wide deck, a wild dance floor solo
Faded love notes, skipping beats and dredging moans
Worn cassettes stacked, in cardboard crates and tones
Stuck in neutral, engine cold as stone
Midnight miles backing up, night's long gone
Silence till this sunrise, where will he go?
Tape rebel, stuck in neutral, spinning slow
Plastic lifeline, running out of places to go
Carved out memories, in hiss and hum and noise
Stranded beauty, on a cassette's fading joys
Rewind, replay, misty-eyes, smile
Energy fading, blank tape stretching miles
Scars on the tape, from battles fierce and sweet
Notches of the years, in this story so neat
Tape rebel, stuck in neutral, spinning slow
Plastic lifeline, running out of places to go
Carved out memories, in hiss and hum and noise
Stranded beauty, on a cassette's thinning joys
Hiss fades, tape gives in, shattered dreams
Dust settles slow, as morning breaks the theme
