Halcyon 2050: Lost in Martian Dreams on the Fourth of July
Lyrics
All these summer days go by
All these summer days pass swiftly.
And the shadows of the sunlight burn
The contrast of light creates lasting impressions.
Into our open eyes
We're affected deeply by what we see.
But you were lost
A sense of being adrift.
You were lost in the tides
Lost in the changing currents.
Tomorrow we fly
An impending journey awaits.
To mars
Symbolic departure to Mars.
On the fourth of july
Symbolic date of departure—freedom, exploration.
On the fourth of july
Reinforcement of the departure date's significance.
We're fading into the light
We're merging into brightness, possibly transition or change.
Dancing with ghost of you
Engaging with memories of a past connection.
Starting to disappear
Slowly vanishing or fading away.
If you're there
A question of presence in the midst of disappearance.
If you're there would you send us a sign
Seeking a sign or connection if present.
Tomorrow we fly
Reiteration of the impending journey.
To mars
The destination of the journey—Mars.
On the fourth of july
Symbolic date of departure—freedom, exploration.
On the fourth of july
Reinforcement of the departure date's significance.
All these summer days go by
All these days of the season pass swiftly.
And the shadows of the sunlight burn
The enduring impact of sunlight's shadows.
Into our open eyes
We're deeply affected by what we perceive.
But you were lost
A sense of being adrift.
You were lost in the tides
Lost in the changing currents.
Tomorrow we fly
An impending journey awaits.
To mars
Symbolic departure to Mars.
On the fourth of july
Symbolic date of departure—freedom, exploration.
