A cathedral of circuits and steel: blade-edged guitars, obsidian synth choirs, and drums like thunder in a vaulted nave. Black Glass Gospel is a liturgy for the neon night—sermons of grit, absolution through distortion, and hymns sung to electricity.

What it sounds like
Retrosynth choirs over metal spine • cinematic low end • angular hooks • epic, chant-like choruses.

ARMAGEDDON

Borrowed Light is the quiet courage song from Vector Collapse—late-night kitchen glow, tail lights on wet pavement, friends texting “steady, go.” It starts with a heartbeat pulse and small, steady steps, then opens into a warm, widescreen chorus where copper-tone guitars carry the hook. It’s about moving when the map is blurry—stacking tiny sparks until the road appears.
A waypoint in the Borrowed Bearings chapter of the seven-album arc, Borrowed Light leans into resilience that isn’t loud, just relentless. If the night won’t move, we carry what we need to see.

LYRICS — “Borrowed Light”

Phone glow on the kitchen tile,
Map says “straight,” my heart says “mile.”
Tail lights paint a dotted line,
I trace a path through what’s still mine.

I can’t see far, but that’s all right—
I’ll move with what I’ve got tonight.

Borrowed light, borrowed light,
Little beams to get me right.
Not the sun, not perfect sight,
Hand on hope—I walk by borrowed light.
(Borrowed light, borrowed light)

Friends text in a steady row:
“Breathe, then step,” “You’ve got this—go.”
I stack their lamps against my doubt,
One small glow and I’m climbing out.

I won’t wait for morning bright—
I’m going where the sparks invite.

Borrowed light, borrowed light,
Little beams to get me right.
Not the sun, not perfect sight,
Hand on hope—I walk by borrowed light.
(Borrowed light, borrowed light)

I don’t need the day to break,
Headlamp faith is all it takes.
If the night won’t move for me,
I’ll carry what I need to see.

Borrowed light, borrowed light,
Step by step, I’m holding tight.
If the dark won’t end on cue,
I’ll carry sparks from me and you—
Borrowed light, borrowed light (ooh).

Borrowed Light

Vector Collapse – “Signal Fire”
From the album Borrowed Bearings

A track about connection through distance — the small, steady glow that cuts through the noise and brings two people back to center. Signal Fire blends cinematic synth textures with metalwave intensity, channeling the feeling of lighting a beacon in the fog and waiting for the answer.

Lyrics

Rooftop rain, the city hums,
You text “you up?” and I say “come.”
In the fog where courage thins,
One small glow can reel you in.

If your night won’t name your name,
I’ll spell it out in honest flame.

Signal fire—light it, I’ll find you.
Hold that glow and I’ll align to you.
If the map goes dark and the steps feel tired,
Stay where you are—signal fire.

I’ve been lost in louder rooms,
Chasing thunder, missing truths.
Now I carry matches, not a throne—
Shared heat beats going alone.

If your hope drips down to sparks,
I’ll keep watch until it marks.

Signal fire—light it, I’ll find you.
Hold that glow and I’ll align to you.
When the doubt blows cold and the way back hides,
Name your place—signal fire.

No speeches, no perfect sky,
Just a hand and a clearer why.
If you flare, I’ll cross that town,
Step by step ‘til ash cools down.

Signal fire—light it, I’m near you.
Keep it small; it’s still a clear cue.
When the world feels wide and the strength feels wired,
Stay where you are—signal fire.

Dawn will do the rest.
For now, we do our best.
