Solstice Brisa - Rhythm of Concrete Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my father's shop, the metal screams
Wrenches turning dreams into machines
Through oil-stained hands and weathered pride
He built his life on this concrete side
While radio static fills the air
With voices hunting those who dare

[Chorus]
Machines don't see color, just movement
Cold steel eyes on the improvement
But papa knows what lies beneath
The gears and wires and false belief
That automation makes it clean
When human hearts get caught between

[Verse 2]
Two thousand seven, summer heat
A customer's words cut deep and sweet
"Your kind" they said, with poison tongue
While papa's dignity kept him strong
The engine's roar drowned out the hate
As frequencies reverberate

[Bridge]
Mariachi echoes through the walls
Mixed with border patrol calls
Spanglish curses, metal sparks
Dancing shadows in the dark
¡Dale gas! The engines cry
While scanners paint the desert sky

[Chorus]
Machines don't see color, just movement
Cold steel eyes on the improvement
But papa knows what lies beneath
The gears and wires and false belief
That automation makes it clean
When human hearts get caught between

[Verse 3]
I watch him dance between the tools
Breaking all their written rules
His hands speak languages of steel
Teaching me just what is real
In this mechanical display
Where cultures blur and fade away

[Outro]
The shop still hums its ancient song
While papa proves them f*cking wrong
Through twisted metal, we survive
Keep our spirit still alive
Let them scan our skin and bones
We'll build engines of our own
