(Verse 1)
Neon bleeds across our skin, confetti in the air,
Stilettos on the pavement, glitter tangled in your hair.
Mirror ball fractures midnight into shards of light,
Every glance a compass pointing us away from night.
(Pre-Chorus)
Hands up, build it slow — feel the skyline spin (pre-chorus build: filter sweep, rising arp)
Breath held, then released; let the pressure thin.
Turn the ache into motion, let the skyline bend,
This is gravity unspun — where broken things can mend.
(Chorus)
Neon hearts ignite the night sky
We burn like constellations in flight
Feel the rhythm, let it set you free
Tonight's the night — for you and me
(Neon hearts ignite the night sky) // chant/hook repeated
(Verse 2)
Bass in my bones, your pulse a meter next to mine,
Leather jackets soaked in laughter, city glass that shines.
Smoke and sugar on our tongues, colors taste like truth,
We trade our old hesitations for the daring of our youth.
(Pre-Chorus)
Hands up, build it slow — let the synthline climb
Filters open wide, we drift out of time.
Every step a thunder, every turn a vow,
We stitch the stars together, start to live them now.
(Chorus)
Neon hearts ignite the night sky
We burn like constellations in flight
Feel the rhythm, let it set you free
Tonight's the night — for you and me
(Neon hearts ignite the night sky) // chant/hook repeated
(Bridge)
Under strobes we speak in honest, reckless tones,
For once we aren't running — tonight we are finally home.
The city hums approval as we shed our old disguise,
A comet in our wake, a wonder in our eyes.
(Pre-Drop - vocal climb)
Hold the silence — count to four, then let it break (build to drop)
(Break) (half-time breakdown: kick soft, pad wide, vocal chops)
For once we aren't running — we're finally home.
For once we aren't running — we're finally home.
(4-bar Vocal Breakdown)
Neon hearts... neon hearts... neon hearts ignite the night sky (x4)
(Drop) (big 4-on-the-floor drop: full bass, brass stab, wide reverb)
(Chorus - Final Variation)
Neon hearts ignite the night sky
We burn like constellations in flight
Feel the rhythm, let it set you free
Tonight's the night — remember me
(Neon hearts ignite the night sky) // chant/hook repeated
(Outro)
Keep the lights until the sun tries to intervene,
Keep the beat until our shadows know what freedom means.
Neon hearts, neon vows — we'll carry them until
Every street remembers how we learned to feel.
