Between the Stars
Contemplating Distance: Between Stars & Longing
Lyrics
Maybe I was looking down
Reflecting on a moment of distraction or preoccupation.
When you, the satellite broke through
Observing the emergence of a satellite, possibly a metaphor for a significant event or person.
And left the speck that was our town
Describing the town as a small speck left behind as something significant departs.
And disappeared in fading blue
Expressing the disappearance of the significant entity into the vastness.
So when the gravity let go
Noting the moment when gravitational forces diminish.
And all the forces loosened grip
Referring to the release of forces, possibly symbolizing a loss of control.
I couldn't help but feel alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness after the departure or loss.
In some way heavier for it
Suggesting an emotional burden or weight after the departure.
All I know to say
Expressing difficulty in finding words to convey emotions.
Is it as lonely in between the stars
Pondering the loneliness experienced in the vast space between stars.
As I've been back home watching from far away
Comparing the loneliness to the feeling of watching from a distant place.
I wonder where you are
Expressing curiosity about the whereabouts of the departed entity.
And did you look back as you crossed the moon?
Wondering if the departed entity looked back during its journey.
Do you wonder if I wonder 'bout you?
Pondering whether the departed entity thinks about the observer.
And so we turn and so it goes
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of life's events.
You feel the timing start to slip
Sensing a shift in the timing or course of events.
We'll meet again one day I hope
Expressing hope for a future reunion, likening it to the meeting of passing waves.
Like midnight waves of passing ships
Metaphorically comparing the anticipation of reunion to waves in the night.
When you feel the dreams collide
Referencing the collision of dreams, possibly alluding to shared aspirations.
Is it as lonely in between the stars
Repeating the question of loneliness between stars, emphasizing the theme.
As I've been back home watching from far away
Reiterating the sense of watching from a distance and feeling alone.
I wonder where you are
Repeating the curiosity about the location of the departed entity.
Did you look back as you crossed the moon?
Repeating the question of whether the departed entity looked back.
Do you wonder if I wonder 'bout you?
Reiterating the uncertainty about whether the departed entity thinks about the observer.
Is it as lonely in between the stars
Repeating the inquiry into the loneliness between stars.
As I've been back home watching from far away
Reiterating the experience of watching from a distance and feeling isolated.
I wonder where you are
Repeating the curiosity about the location of the departed entity.
Did you look back as you crossed the moon?
Repeating the question of whether the departed entity looked back.
Do you wonder if I wonder 'bout you?
Reiterating the uncertainty about whether the departed entity thinks about the observer.
