This song, "Neon Ghosts," uses the imagery of a decaying urban landscape to explore themes of love, memory, and reinvention in a post-apocalyptic world. It plays with the contrast between the fading remnants of the old world (represented by neon signs and billboards) and the enduring light of love and hope.

In the shadows of dead billboards, where neon used to glow
We dance among the memories, of a world we used to know
Your silhouette in twilight, painted by the setting sun
In this graveyard of ambitions, our story's just begun

We're neon ghosts in the darkness, glowing against the night
Echoes of a lost era, burning fierce and bright

Love in the age of ashes, where old dreams come to die
We'll paint new constellations, across this broken sky
In the ruins of tomorrow, we'll build our paradise
Neon ghosts of the old world, we'll make our own sunrise

We salvage bits of beauty, from the wreckage of the past
Piecing together moments, to make this feeling last
Your smile, a fading billboard, still sells me on this life
In this world of faded glory, you cut through like a knife

We're neon ghosts in the darkness, flickering but alive
In a world that's lost its color, together we survive

Love in the age of ashes, where old dreams come to die
We'll paint new constellations, across this broken sky
In the ruins of tomorrow, we'll build our paradise
Neon ghosts of the old world, we'll make our own sunrise

And when the batteries fail us, when the last light fades away
We'll ignite our own fire, to illuminate our way
For in this world of shadows, we've learned to see so clear
The beauty in the darkness, when you are near

Let the cities keep on crumbling, let the old signs fall
In the language of our hearts, we'll rewrite it all
Though we walk through a wasteland, our love's an oasis
Two neon ghosts together, defying this crisis

Love in the age of ashes, where old dreams come to die
We'll paint new constellations, across this broken sky
In the ruins of tomorrow, we'll build our paradise
Neon ghosts of the old world, we'll make our own sunrise

We're the last lights still burning, in this city of the dead
Illuminating a future, where new stories will be said
Hand in hand through the darkness, we'll light up the night
Neon ghosts of the old world, we'll burn forever bright

In the twilight of civilization, our love shines on...

To Fancy?

Iridescent is meant to transport you to a hollow and weightless dimension where time stands still. With dark, ambient, and damp production mixed with the consistent sorrow and strength in Purp's vocals, Iridescent is a chance to ascend to a higher level and view life and all of it's various reflections.
