Lyrics

It will shine and it will shudder

Describing the future, suggesting a combination of brilliance and instability.

As i guide it with my rudder

The speaker is steering or influencing this future path with intention.

On its metaled ways

Referring to the pathways of progress, possibly technological or industrial.

It will cut the night before it

The future will overcome the darkness of the past, cutting through it.

As it leaves the day that saw it

Leaving behind the day that witnessed the inception of this future.

On its metaled ways

Reiterating the idea of progress along predefined pathways.

Nobody passes us in the deep quiet of the dark sky

Expressing solitude and insignificance in the vastness of the dark sky.

Nobody sees us alone out here among the stars

Highlighting the isolation among the stars, perhaps in the pursuit of progress.

In these metal ways

Repeating the theme of advancement through structured, industrial means.

In these metal days.

Emphasizing the contemporary nature of the described era.

Through a fault of our designing

Suggesting a flaw in human design leading to a disorienting situation.

We are lost among the windings

Feeling lost amid the intricate paths of progress.

Of these metal ways

Reiterating the confinement within the structured, metallic ways.

Back to silence back to minus

Returning to silence and negativity, possibly reflecting on the consequences.

With the purple sky behind us

Withdrawing from progress, leaving it behind with a picturesque scene.

In these metal ways

Reinforcing the entrapment within the metallic ways despite the scenic background.

Nobody hears us when we're alone in the blue future

Emphasizing the lack of recognition or understanding in the vast, uncertain future.

No one receiving the radio's splintered waves

Highlighting the absence of reception or acknowledgment of communication signals.

In these metal ways

Reiterating the confinement within the metallic ways and the challenges of communication.

In these metal days.

Affirming the continuation of the described contemporary era dominated by metal.
