Track Insight / Lyrics
Concrete crisp, subway sign
Neon glows like a lover's spark
Quiet now, almost sleep
4 a.m., the city's heart
Slowly boots crunch asphalt
Each step in rhythm with the night
Movement out of still
Guarding the platform light
Pulse of engines, rush of trains
Whispers of the city's timeless
Beneath the noise
A refuge in the Undercity's veins
In the dark, under city spells
Where the quiet breeds a thousand dreams
Lone sentinels awake
Guarding moments yet unseen
Overhead, a mesh of steel
Shadows dance, and moments real
Temporality bends
When the world is at its end
Just another night shift
4 a.m. shines its silver light
The loneliness complete
Is its own symphony
Pulse of engines, rush of trains
Whispers of the city's timeless
Beneath the noise
A refuge in the Undercity's veins
In the dark, under city spells
Where the quiet breeds a thousand dreams
Lone sentinels awake
Guarding moments yet unseen
Time expands, compresses too
In the stillness, all unfolds anew
A solitary figure
Standing watch through the Undercity's dark
In the dark, under city spells
Where the quiet breeds a thousand dreams
Lone sentinels awake
Guarding moments yet unseen
Flickers fade to black
Subway signs no longer call back
4 a.m. passes in an instant
The city's heartbeat resumes its chant.
