Lyrics
[Driving 808 & Synth Chop Intro]
Two white beams cutting through the dark,
concrete pillars standing tall and gray.
[Verse 1]
I enter underneath the shadow span,
where roaring traffic echoed in the day.
Now empty arches listen as I play,
the music from a newly opened plan.
The high beams illuminate the mossy wall,
the gravel sparkling like a field of gems.
I navigate the pillar curves with ease,
untied from former stems.
[Pre-Chorus]
The concrete archway opens to the sky,
the stars appear between the breaking cloud.
My voice rises up into the open air,
unbroken, clear and proud.
[Chorus]
Headlights piercing the overpass.
They cut a pathway through the concrete shade,
where all the former hesitations fade.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
headlights piercing the overpass.
[Verse 2]
I hit the gas upon the climbing ramp,
the city skyline rising on the crest.
A thousand office towers turned to dark,
where restless workers finally found rest.
The wind is rushing through the open roof,
it lifts my hair and cools my burning cheek.
I found the strength I didn't know I had,
the freedom that I seek.
[Chorus]
Headlights piercing the overpass.
They cut a pathway through the concrete shade,
where all the former hesitations fade.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
headlights piercing the overpass.
[Bridge]
Oh, the darkest tunnel has an opening edge,
the headlights show the road is firm and true.
I leave the shadows in the rearview glass,
and race into the blue.
[Chorus]
Headlights piercing the overpass.
They cut a pathway through the concrete shade,
where all the former hesitations fade.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
headlights piercing the overpass.
[Cinematic Synth Punch Outro]
Two white beams cutting through the dark...
Headlights piercing the overpass.
[Fade Out]
[End]
