The Metro
Berlin
The Paris Métro is where the singer places a memory of crossing paths with a former lover. Its repeating synth figure gives the recollection a cold, regular pulse, as though the stations keep passing through the same conversation.

Downbound Train
Bruce Springsteen
A partner leaves by train, its whistle returns in dreams, and the narrator ends up swinging a hammer on a railroad crew. The train is a piece of the story each time it appears, as well as a way for Springsteen to give the man’s downward slide a sound.

Don't Stop Believin'
Journey
The opening verses put two young people on midnight trains without naming a destination. The train drops out of the lyrics as the song follows that feeling of setting off anyway. Listen for the arrangement to keep building until the chorus finally arrives.
