City Out of Sight
Alternative rock with post-grunge influences. Clean electric guitar plays arpeggiated chords with light chorus and delay. A melodic bassline follows the chord progression with a warm, rounded tone. Drums feature a steady backbeat with prominent hi-hat work in the verses, transitioning to heavy, distorted power chords on electric guitar and driving crash cymbals in the chorus. Male vocals are delivered in a mid-range baritone, shifting to a gritty, belted chest voice during high-intensity sections. The tempo is 145 BPM in 4/4 time, likely in the key of B minor.

Lyrics
[clean arpeggiated electric guitar, melodic bass enters]
[Verse 1]
[clean electric guitar, soft drums]
Dark avenue and the silence is wide
Even stars in the sky are fading
They slip from view where the planets once shone
Like a dream that keeps evading
Streetlight is dim melting into the night
And we both look above and wonder
That world so grim that I built for us two
But I've never walked through its thunder
[Chorus]
[distorted electric guitar power chords, heavy drums]
Abandoned by your light
That city out of sight
That city out of sight
Where stars begin to quiver
Autumn's fevered breeze
Is carrying our dreams
Is carrying our dreams
While lights around us shiver
Abandoned by your light
That city out of sight
That city out of sight
Where stars begin to quiver
Autumn's fevered breeze
Is carrying our dreams
Is carrying our dreams
While lights around us shiver
[Verse 2]
[drums drop to light hi-hat and kick, clean guitar arpeggios]
Still here I stand staring out into space
Letting go all my thoughts of fading
The air feels cursed like a dream's cold embrace
And winds in the dark keep wailing
Then from behind I could hear steps draw near
And my breath for a moment faltered
But not this time just a lie I believe
Just the leaves in the dusk that wandered
[Chorus]
[full distortion, driving rock beat]
Abandoned by your light
That city out of sight
That city out of sight
Where stars begin to quiver
Autumn's fevered breeze
Is carrying our dreams
Is carrying our dreams
While lights around us shiver
Abandoned by your light
That city out of sight
That city out of sight
Where stars begin to quiver
Autumn's fevered breeze
Is carrying our dreams
Is carrying our dreams
While lights around us shiver (shiver)
[Outro]
[heavy guitar chords, sustained bass]
Abandoned by your light
That city out of sight
That city out of sight
Where stars begin to quiver
Autumn's fevered breeze
Is carrying our dreams
Is carrying our dreams
While lights around us shiver
[final guitar ring out]
