about

This was the first song to be written for the Tesla album. It is a poetic song about Teslas final moments and what he left behind. The middle part is mellotronic ambience symbolizing the void he left. Laurie Anderson has described the death of her father, as a library burning down. I felt the same when my grandfather died, and I imagine that Tesla had that impact on engineers.

lyrics

The skyline
The city
Ablazed by your work
Forever changed
Because of you
It has become
Modern

In silence
Deserted
Your room is lit
But you are now
Nowhere here
A piece of empty sky
Where you were

A moment
A lifetime
Filled with things to do
You could
Live a life on repeat
Or loose it at Stampede
Or you could change a world
What would you choose?
