Lyrics
[Intro] [Elevator Chime & Motor Hum]
Floor twenty-eight descending down to one
Another long exhausting day is done
[Verse 1] [Pumping Bass & Crisp Snare]
Scratched chrome buttons glowing orange-red
A hundred racing thoughts inside my head
I loosen up my silk navy tie
And look my own reflection in the eye
No fake corporate smile upon my face
Inside this little vertical steel space
[Pre-Chorus] [Rising Pad & Snare Roll]
Cables humming in the darkened shaft
Remembering the crazy times we laughed
[Chorus] [Hypnotic Introspective Drop]
Loosened necktie in the elevator glass
Watching thirty heavy stories pass
Dropping from the towers to the city street
Finding the rhythm in my tired feet
Floor by floor, steady and serene
I'm leaving behind the corporate machine
[Verse 2] [Rhodes Piano & Sub Bass]
Ding at floor fourteen, the doors slide wide
Nobody standing on the other side
Just the long corridor of hotel gray
As I continue on my midnight way
[Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Run & Filter Sweep]
When the ground floor light begins to gleam
I step right out into my own sweet dream
No boss, no deadlines, no more strain
Just me walking through the midnight rain
[Chorus] [Full Hypnotic Pop-R&B Climax]
Loosened necktie in the elevator glass
Watching thirty heavy stories pass
Dropping from the towers to the city street
Finding the rhythm in my tired feet
Floor by floor, steady and serene
I'm leaving behind the corporate machine
[Outro] [Elevator Chime & Doors Opening]
Ground floor...
Freedom.
[Fade Out]
[End]
