Neon

from Rainmaker by Lorenzo Miniero

about

Possibly the most unusual (for me) song in the album, even though it's another personal favourite of mine. This may sound very out of place, as it's basically a trip hop song or something like that, even though a very "heavy" one.

I tried to make it as atmospheric as possible, up to the ending where I tried using samples from old movies to provide some additional narrative. The last sample, in particular, was specifically meant to jump in the next song right away.

lyrics

The city is cold tonight
The streets an ocean of flickering neon lights
The rain pours down on me
Each drop awaking a memory from within
Reflections in the glass
A crowd of people with no face are drown in lights
A heartbeat and they're gone
Rapidly replaced by even more

So many and yet alone
Their face a mask only displaying what they want
A digital charade
A glitch enough for all their smiles to fade

Lights flickering to steal
My mind from what it's tried so long to just conceal
Time runs and leaves behind
Remorse, regret, and all the things they hide
A life not lived, a waste
Realization not enough to bring some change
An unfinished symphony
A symbol of someone I'll never be
