Track Insight / Lyrics
Journey's end beneath starshine,
Telescoped roads a gauzy line.
An industrial grave transformed
By moss and where the wild things swarm.
One parked behemoth of steel,
Its pipes like capillaries, its wheels
Now home to life, a serpentine
Thrumming vines that climb to heaven.
In the rust and petal stone,
Haunted by ghosts of a forgotten dawn,
I am drawn to this viscera
Where a city's heartbeat still can be heard.
An unlikely Eden, green and gray,
Thrums beneath my tires' gentle sway.
In the steel and moss, I hear it hum
A basso profundo, the earth's deep drum
Pulsing in time with my heartbeat's thrum.
In the steel and moss, I am alive
Under the highway, wild and free to thrive.
Night falls dripping with condensation
And the bridge lights in the distance:
Forgotten strands of light pollution,
A fragile web of guidance in the night.
In the rust and petal stone,
Haunted by ghosts of a forgotten dawn,
I am drawn to this viscera
Where a city's heartbeat still can be heard.
An unlikely Eden, green and gray,
Thrums beneath my tires' gentle sway.
In the steel and moss, I hear it hum
A basso profundo, the earth's deep drum
Pulsing in time with my heartbeat's thrum.
In the steel and moss, I am alive
Under the highway, wild and free to thrive.
Twilight reigns, the world in shades of primeval blue
As I wander through the structure's hollowed core,
Where man's ambition meets nature's utter scorn,
And rust and ivy kiss beneath the restless moon.
Thrums beneath my tires' gentle sway.
In the steel and moss, I hear it hum
A basso profundo, the earth's deep drum
Pulsing in time with my heartbeat's thrum.
In the steel and moss, I am alive
Under the highway, wild and free to thrive.
Thrumming vines entwine the steel's cold carcass
Beating hearts in tandem, steadfast
A symphony of old and new, forever in process
The basso profundo sighs, the tires say low "onward."
