Track Insight / Lyrics
Pilot kneels on frozen planks
Thruster housings frost and crack
Camera clicks from alleys near
Breath clouds rise then disappear
Gauges flicker, needles dance
Winter steals the engine's chance
Metal groans in sub-zero dark
No runway here, no landing mark
Thruster check on canal ice
Fog eats sound and swallows light
One more cycle, one more try
Amsterdam holds its breath tonight
Thruster check on canal ice
Film advance with thumb worn raw
Lens cap pocketed in wool
Pilot's gloves are torn paper thin
Dawn still hours, broken rule now
Pressure drops in hydraulic lines
Frost bites deep on turbine spines
Silence stretches, heavy, long
Something hums, then something's wrong
Thruster check on canal ice
Fog eats sound and swallows light
One more cycle, one more try
Amsterdam holds its breath tonight
Thruster check on canal ice
Double bass bows low and slow
Teen runs film to corner shop
Glockenspiel hits distant snow
Negatives develop stop
Thruster check on canal ice
Fog eats sound and swallows light
One more cycle, one more try
Amsterdam holds its breath tonight
Thruster check on canal ice
Ignition coughs, a blue-white spark
Pilot wipes oil from her cheek
Fog parts briefly, dies in dark
Seven years since she could speak
