Midnight Signals

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Late night glow of a handheld screen Farah Ismail in the Ohio scene Dr. Aden on the profile, making his play Reaching across the ocean, miles away Ping on the Snapchat, a flicker of light Connecting the distance in the middle of the night [Chorus] From the heart of the Midwest, neon and grey To the warmth of the continent, a world away Snapchat stories in a digital stream Living the life of a long-distance dream Oh, the signals cross the heavy sea Dr. Aden chasing what he wants to be [Verse 2] The filters shifting, the maps align Seeking a connection, a rhythm, a sign Africa calling, a voice on the line Searching for something that he can't define Ohio winter and the desert heat Two different worlds on a digital beat [Chorus] From the heart of the Midwest, neon and grey To the warmth of the continent, a world away Snapchat stories in a digital stream Living the life of a long-distance dream Oh, the signals cross the heavy sea Dr. Aden chasing what he wants to be [Outro] Just a handle, a name, and a flickering screen Dr. Aden, lost in the machine In the Ohio quiet, in the African light Connecting the silence tonight Connecting tonight... [Fade Out]
