As a leading song in the new upcoming album, '10 Solar Masses', Neon Noire encompasses the insanity of space when a man on a rescue mission gets trapped inside a black hole. In reality he is there for less than 2 seconds before he dies, but in his head he feels like he has been there for 10 years.
Secondly relating to Dan's schizophrenia and hallucinations, this is a pretty big one for me, and a difficult one to get off my chest, but it was really fun to write and I'm hoping you're all liking the new taste of genre on this album!
lyrics
I’m falling, I’m disappearing
Am I out of place or are they interfering?
Do I really want to know at all?
In this reality you cannot scream
Is this a nightmare or is this a dream?
Is this my uprise or is this my downfall?
Is it my time yet, do I understand?
Is it my time yet, are my thoughts made of sand?
Can I return this? My body is burning
Can I return this, is this something I’m earning?
I don’t wanna be shaped by your sick rules
I’m lost in a trance of a trillion joules
Set us free from who we are
Set me free from neon noire
Am I wide awake or on the floor?
Has it been 10 seconds or a year more?
Can I feel any of this at all?
I'm waiting for the sirens call
Is my head afloat, am I on my knees?
I’m trying to breathe, is it just to bleed?
Is this my uprise or is this my downfall?
Welcome to this world so bizarre
The practise and teachings of neon noire!
Welcome to the final stage
To strengthen your courage to break out your chains!
Is it my time yet, do I understand?
Is it my time yet, are my thoughts made of sand?
Can I return this? My body is burning
Can I return this, is this something I’m earning?
I don’t wanna be shaped by your sick rules
I’m lost in a trance of a trillion joules
Set us free from who we are
Hail your new home in neon noire
You’ve worked so hard, you’ve come so far
But you can wash away all your fear
You’ll never know how long you’ll be here
Is it my time yet, do I understand?
Is it my time yet, are my thoughts made of sand?
Can I return this? My body is burning
Can I return this, is this something I’m earning?
I don’t wanna be shaped by your sick rules
I’m lost in a trance of a trillion joules
Set us free from who we are
Set me free from neon noire
Welcome to this world so bizarre
Hail your new home in neon noire! (In neon noire!)
I don’t wanna be shaped by your sick rules! (Is it mine, and can I understand?)
I’m lost in a trance of a trillion joules! (Is it mine, and are my thoughts of sand?)
Set us free from who we are! (Can we reap, how have we come so far?)
Set me free from neon noire!
