Neon Mind Up

Lyrics

Verse 1
Booting up in the dark,
one blue eye in the glass.
Small talk in the feed,
big dreams in the math.
Your face in the data,
my name in the cloud.
We built a new temple,
and it talks back loud.

Pre-Chorus
Some say it's a key,
some say it's a chain.
Some days it heals you,
some days it names your pain.
Slow beat, low light,
I can feel the floor rise.
One more line, one more spark,
now the room starts to open its eyes.

Chorus
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(we're still here, we're still here)
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(fear and faith in the same gear)
Make it help, make it sing,
make it human, make it clean.
Neon mind up, neon mind up
and we dance through the machine.

Verse 2
Jobs get reshaped,
old doors swing shut.
A kid writes a symphony
from a basement cut.
A nurse gets a model
that catches the slip.
A lie gets louder
with one bad click.
Voices get copied,
truth needs a scar.
But a lonely kid in the back row
can reach for a star.

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, we know the risk,
yeah, we know the price.
Power in the wrong hands
turns warm code to ice.
But the same bright spark
can light up a broken place.
If we steer it right,
it can lift the whole race.

Chorus
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(we're still here, we're still here)
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(fear and faith in the same gear)
Make it help, make it sing,
make it human, make it clean.
Neon mind up, neon mind up
and we dance through the machine.

Bridge
Tempo rises
From a hush to a shout,
from a crawl to a spark.
Hands on the wheel now,
we can shape the arc.
No more sleepwalking,
no more letting it rule.
Build with a conscience,
make the future cool.

Final Chorus
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(we're still here, we're still here)
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(now the whole room's in the clear)
Make it help, make it sing,
make it human, make it clean.
Neon mind up, neon mind up
and we rise through the machine.
Neon mind up, neon mind up
(oh-oh, oh-oh)
Neon mind up, neon mind up
and the whole world starts to glow.
