Streets of New York
Echoes of Madness: Unveiling the Haunting Symphony beneath New York's Streets
Lyrics
He came around no warning
Unexpectedly, he appeared without warning.
Brought the devil to the house of the Lord yeah
He brought trouble or chaos into a sacred place.
Now he's waking up each morning
Now, each morning, he faces the consequences.
To the sound of a tell-tale
There's a distinctive sound, possibly signaling guilt or remorse.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
A subtle heartbeat is felt beneath the urban landscape of New York.
Cold confidence black powder
Confident, yet cold and dangerous.
Funny how a madman can think himself wise
Despite madness, he sees himself as wise.
But the dreadful sound grew louder
The ominous sound becomes more intense.
Silence broken by a kick drum
Silence is interrupted by a rhythmic beat, possibly symbolizing inner turmoil.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
A faint heartbeat persists beneath the city.
He tried to live his life in his father's eyes
He attempted to live up to his father's expectations.
In a way that might save his soul
Hoping to save his soul through emulation.
But with the pressure on this preacher's son
Under the pressure of being a preacher's son.
Let the devil come and take control
He succumbed to the influence of the devil.
So he headed down into the darkness
He descended into darkness, metaphorically facing his misdeeds.
To the place where he buried his crime
Returning to the scene of his wrongdoing.
And in a shallow grave lay his madness
His madness is buried but not eradicated.
But he couldn't kill it a second time
Unable to fully suppress or eliminate it.
Like a symphony of thunder crashes
Symbolizing a powerful and destructive force.
To the city he became a sound
He becomes a significant presence in the city.
To the city he became a sound
Repetition emphasizes his impact on the urban environment.
To the city he became a sound
Continued emphasis on his influence on the city.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
The faint heartbeat persists beneath the city's surface.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
Repetition reinforces the subtle but persistent presence.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
The heartbeat beneath the streets remains.
A faint heartbeat under the streets of New York
The subtle presence continues, hinting at unresolved issues.
