As Our Orbit Starts to Fail
Celestial Descent: Navigating Lost Dreams in Being Human's Melody
Lyrics
Over and over this failing orbit
The repeated occurrence of a deteriorating orbit.
Loses light from your distant star
The orbit is losing illumination from a distant star.
Over and over the wake of your torrent's
The recurring aftermath of a powerful torrent.
Faint ripple reaches shore
A subtle effect of the torrent reaches the shore.
Go!
An imperative urging action or departure.
Blue hours and your lips
Mention of a specific time ("Blue hours") and intimate connection ("your lips").
The trap was set and I fell right in
Falling into a trap that was strategically set.
Translate this echoing unknown tongue
Attempting to understand an unknown language through translation.
I've lost myself in the chemicals
Being absorbed or lost in chemical substances.
Tear out the memories
Removing memories forcefully.
And keep playing them on repeat
Continuously replaying those memories.
I didn't know where to begin
Feeling directionless and unsure of where to start.
So I keep becoming the end of it
Becoming the endpoint repeatedly.
Brokering deals with unknown reflections
Negotiating or dealing with unfamiliar reflections.
Stumble these catacombs in a toxic trance
Navigating through complex and hazardous situations in a trance-like state.
Ossify a picture-book dream
Turning a dream into a hardened, lifeless form.
And die with the fallen leaves
Dying alongside the fallen leaves, symbolizing an end.
Over and over this failing orbit loses light from your distant star
Reiteration of the failing orbit losing light from a distant star.
Over and over the wake of your torrent's faint ripple reaches shore
Repetition of the aftermath of a torrent reaching the shore.
Ripple reaches shore
Highlighting the effect of the ripple on the shore.
Over and over this failing orbit loses light from your distant star
Reiteration of the failing orbit losing light from a distant star.
Over and over the wake of your torrent's faint ripple reaches shore
Repetition of the aftermath of a torrent reaching the shore.
The torrent breaks the shore
Emphasizing the impact of the torrent on the shore.
How can you take to flight when you're sleeping?
Rhetorical questions about actions or changes during sleep.
Wet your eyes when you're sleeping?
Describing emotional responses while asleep.
How can you begin again when you're sleeping?
Rhetorical question about initiating a new beginning during sleep.
Convalesce when you're sleeping?
Attempting recovery or healing while asleep.
Blue hours and your lips
Recurrence of "Blue hours" and the intimacy of "your lips."
The trap was set and I fell right in
Falling into a trap again, possibly a cycle of repetition.
Translate this echoing unknown tongue
Repeating the challenge of translating an unknown language.
I've lost myself in the chemicals
Continued immersion in chemical influences.
Over and over this failing orbit loses light from your distant star
Reiteration of the failing orbit losing light from a distant star.
Over and over the wake of your torrent's faint ripple reaches shore
Repetition of the aftermath of a torrent reaching the shore.
Ripple reaches shore
Emphasis on the ripple effect reaching the shore.
Over and over this failing orbit loses light from your distant star
Reiteration of the failing orbit losing light from a distant star.
Over and over the wake of your torrent's faint ripple reaches shore
Repetition of the aftermath of a torrent reaching the shore.
Torrent's faint ripple reaches shore
Highlighting the continuation of the torrent's ripple reaching the shore.
