Temper and Tranquility - Living Dreams

Just a little fantasy song that describes night life in the late 90s and early 2000s car culture.

The neon’s lit, and basslines pound like thunder,
Shaking the street, pulling me straight to the lights,
Engines like roaring beasts tearing in deeper,
Burning the night, I can’t stop and I can’t fight.
Bodies collide as the dance floor’s exploding,
Sweat on my skin, and I’m never looking back,
I am a blur in a city that’s sleepless,
Chasing the thrill, always pushing to attack.

Fuck it all,
I’m lost in the chaos,
I’m tearing through nights in the flashing and loud (in the flashing and loud),
Every hit, a fire that keeps on burning,
Just waiting for someone to tear me unbound (tear me unbound)

You’re wired awake in a room full of strangers,
Laughing and wild with the smoke pouring out,
I want to stay, but I’m caught in the engine,
Every time I try, all I do is shout.
What if we crash? What if we can’t keep it,
The heat of this ride is too much to bear now,
I can’t slow down, you’re flying beside me,
And I’m just a fool too damn hooked to let go.

Fuck it all,
I’m lost in the chaos,
I’m tearing through nights in the flashing and loud (in the flashing and loud),
Every hit, a fire that keeps on burning,
Just waiting for someone to tear me unbound (tear me unbound)

Why does it burn like the streets when we’re racing?
Screeching too hard, the walls blur around,
Gasoline in my veins, I keep gunning
Not a cop in sight, no one to shut down the sound.
I try to speak, but the bass is too loud now,
What do I mean when I say that I’m fine?
This life’s a drug, and I’m hooked on the madness,
The hands that I love are the hands on the line.

Fuck it all,
I’m lost in the chaos,
I’m tearing through nights in the flashing and loud (in the flashing and loud),
Every hit, a fire that keeps on burning,
Just waiting for someone to tear me unbound (tear me unbound)

And I’ll hold on ‘til it breaks me in pieces,
A tangled knot, a heart that won’t turn,
But the streets keep roaring and I’m still here fighting
Fighting for nothing, just waiting my turn.

Fuck it all,
I’m lost in the chaos,
I’m tearing through nights in the flashing and loud (in the flashing and loud),
Every hit, a fire that keeps on burning,
Just waiting for someone to tear me unbound (tear me unbound)
