LYRICS
[Verse 1]
He was a king in neon nights,
Under flashing lights, the thrill of life,
Dancing through the haze of white,
With dreams of freedom in the fading light.
He felt invincible, like he could fly,
With a mirror ball reflecting all his lies,
But those highs were fleeting, just a masquerade,
In the end, it was the price he paid.
[Chorus]
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
It’s a mirage in the glow of a lost neon show,
He was blinded by the music and the glow,
Now he’s left here, crippled by the shadows of what he knows.
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
Don’t let the music fool you, don’t let the colors go,
It's a fleeting high in a cold, empty room,
And now he’s just waiting for his final tune.
[Verse 2]
They were the heroes of a reckless age,
Living for the beat, turning every page,
But the cocaine dreams, they burned too bright,
Leaving ashes where the fire once ignited.
His friends are ghosts, lost in the night,
Faded echoes of their wild, reckless flight,
And he’s left with the pain, the slow decay,
A lesson learned the hard, harsh way.
[Chorus]
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
It’s a mirage in the glow of a lost neon show,
He was blinded by the music and the glow,
Now he’s left here, crippled by the shadows of what he knows.
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
Don’t let the music fool you, don’t let the colors go,
It's a fleeting high in a cold, empty room,
And now he’s just waiting for his final tune.
[Bridge]
They chased the night, but the dawn came slow,
In the end, it’s the truth that they don’t know,
That the freedom they sought was just a cruel jest,
In the mirror ball’s spin, they failed the test.
So heed his words, from this broken man,
Don’t dance too close to the edge of the band,
For the lights will fade and the music will die,
Leaving only shadows and goodbye.
[Chorus]
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
It’s a mirage in the glow of a lost neon show,
He was blinded by the music and the glow,
Now he’s left here, crippled by the shadows of what he knows.
Oh, the death-defying fantasy of disco,
Don’t let the music fool you, don’t let the colors go,
It's a fleeting high in a cold, empty room,
And now he’s just waiting for his final tune.
[Outro]
In the silence of the night, as the curtains close,
Remember the truth in the twilight’s prose,
That the disco dreams were only a fleeting star,
In the grand design of who they are.
