Zenith Lyrics

[Verse 1: Prudence]
I lost the picture
I can feel it fading out my memory
Though I remember
When the moon was shining down on you and me
Dream, it's all over
I've been waiting for another sight to see
Chills on my shoulder
And I wish I was the only one to leave

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Morgan Phalen]
We once were electric
Now we're flatlined
We're running too late and
Running out of time

[Verse 2: Prudence]
You're getting colder
But I know you're still out there in the haze
Now that I'm older
I keep thinking 'bout the void all-day
I know it's over
I can see you walking off the silver screen
It makes me wonder
Will I ever make it to the final scene?
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Morgan Phalen]
We once were electric
Now we're flatlined
We're running too late and
Running out of time
We once were electric
Now we're flatlined
We're running too late and
Running out of time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Zenith is the follow-up to the 2010 classic “Nightcall”, and the second single off of Kavinsky’s comeback album, “Reborn.”
The sultry track is a collaboration with vocalists Prudence and Morgan Phalen. Pulsing guitar riffs, vintage synths, and vocoded vocals parallel “Nightcall” in a way that feels nostalgic but still fresh. As an added bonus for fans who love their retrowave with a brass tinge, Kavinsky brings “Zenith” home with some seductive saxophone work.
