Redline After Midnight

(Engine revs… bass rising…)

Yeah…

Two A.M., city drippin’ neon…

Bass so loud make your heartbeat skip…

Let’s ride.

⸻

Blacktop blur underneath the wheels,

Speedometer climbin’, can’t feel what’s real,

Streetlights flash like a camera scene,

Windows down while the sub shakes dreams.

Tank full, no destination set,

Smoke in the air and the dash glow red,

Your silhouette in the passenger light,

Pretty little danger in the middle of the night.

808 hit like a fist to the chest,

Whole damn car vibrate with the stress,

Tires hum while the skyline bends,

Lose ourselves when the bass kicks in.

⸻

And the whole world slow-mo,

Heartbeat sync with the stereo,

Dark roads, no sleep tonight,

We just ghosts in the city lights.

⸻

Redline after midnight,

Bass hit hard at the stoplight,

Bodies move when the trunk rattle,

Whole block shake when the kick drum battle.

Headlights cut through the dark sky,

We don’t care if the sun rise,

Too gone, too fast, too alive,

Late-night demons on a highway ride.

⸻

(HEY!)

Turn it up—let the speakers blow,

808 make the whole car roll,

Hands up, lose control,

Ride that bass ‘til the tires smoke.

Boom… boom… heartbeat violent,

City so loud but the pain stay silent,

Red glow dash and the engine cryin’,

We ain’t livin’ if we ain’t flyin’.

⸻

Blue and red lights somewhere behind,

But tonight we outrunnin’ time,

Neon signs blur into stars,

Heavy bass scars inside these cars.

Everybody numb tryna feel alive,

So we chase that rush on the midnight drive,

Your hand on my arm while the speakers quake,

Like the whole damn world gonna crack and break.

Downtown echoes, bridge lights gold,

Young and reckless with a heart ice-cold,

One more song, one more ride,

One more night where the fears all die.

⸻

Whole world slow-mo,

Heartbeat sync with the stereo,

Dark roads, no sleep tonight,

We just ghosts in the city lights.

⸻

Redline after midnight,

Bass hit hard at the stoplight,

Bodies move when the trunk rattle,

Whole block shake when the kick drum battle.

Headlights cut through the dark sky,

We don’t care if the sun rise,

Too gone, too fast, too alive,

Late-night demons on a highway ride.

⸻

If the night crash down, let it bury us loud,

Middle fingers high in the smoke and the crowd,

No brakes, no fear, no turnin’ around,

Just the bass and the wheels and the underground.

⸻

808 earthquake… feel it in your veins…

Engine scream harmonize with the rain…

Late-night kings with the city on fire…

Redline souls burnin’ higher and higher…

(Engine fades into deep bass…)
