In the heart of a neon-soaked metropolis, where the city pulsates with life and secrets, there exists an underground world known only to a select few. Deep beneath the bustling streets lies a labyrinth of hidden passages and forgotten tunnels—the Tube.
Legend has it that the Tube was built centuries ago by an enigmatic society of architects and musicians who sought to create a subterranean utopia where the magic of music could flourish in secrecy. This clandestine society, known as the Harmonic Engineers, crafted an intricate network of tubes and chambers, each resonating with a unique frequency, giving birth to a symphony that echoed through the underground city.
The song "Tube" is said to be the anthem of this hidden realm, a composition that captures the essence of the Harmonic Engineers' vision. Its melody is said to carry the listener through the winding tunnels, guiding them to the heart of the underground city where the secrets of the Tube are unveiled.
The story goes that the composer of "Tube" was a mysterious figure named Maestro Echo, a masterful musician with a penchant for pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration. Legend has it that Maestro Echo disappeared into the depths of the Tube, leaving behind only the haunting strains of the eponymous song.
Rumors circulate that those who manage to find the entrance to the Tube are granted access to a hidden world where music becomes a tangible force, shaping reality itself. Whispers in the city's dark corners suggest that the Tube holds the key to unlocking hidden potential and creativity in those who dare to venture into its depths.
Whether the Tube is a mere urban legend or a hidden sanctuary of music and mystery is for you to decide. But as the city above continues its relentless rhythm, the echoes of "Tube" remain, inviting the curious and the brave to seek out the hidden melodies that lie beneath the surface.
lyrics
Hit you in the crash didn’t even feel it
Whipping so fast couldn’t even see you
Leaning into the pressure
Holding my arm straight out
If you didn’t feel then you feel it now
Skipping like a stone over pavement
Leaning over each other
Blood mixing with water
Grab me by the back of the neck
What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
Limbs flying into each other
What it is, what it is, it is
Saw you rushing back to the surface
Going all red like a sun-drenched phoenix
Secrets in the back room
How did I repay you
If you didn’t’ feel that bet you feel it now
I’m holding my breath upside down
Taking a nail to the fissure
Watch what happens after
Grab me by the back of the neck
What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
Limbs flying into each other
What it is, what it is, it is
Grab me by the back of the neck
What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
Limbs flying into each other
What it is, what it is, it is
I feel wasted
So accidental
Look at your face, man
Is it my fault
(Is it?)
Grab me by the back of the neck
What it is, what it is, what it is, what it is
Limbs flying into each other
What it is, what it is, it is
Grab me by the back of the neck
What it is, what it is, what it is
Limbs flying into each other
What it is, what it is, it is
(It’s not my fault)
I know it’s true, I can’t hear it now
Knuckles burning into the fabric
I know it’s true, I can’t hear it now
The wind is screaming go faster
