Orbits
Miracles in the Dark: Claire George's Celestial Reflections
Lyrics
It's just...It's just...I can't believe my luck,
Expressing disbelief and astonishment at the speaker's good fortune.
I saw your spark so far away out in the dark
Noticing a distant but captivating quality in the person being referred to.
It's a miracle I saw it at all
Highlighting the rarity and unexpectedness of the observed quality.
Don't need a telescope, I can tell from here it's made of gold,
Declaring the speaker's ability to perceive the special qualities without external aids.
But it's wrapped in so much more
Acknowledging that the person's essence goes beyond superficial observations.
Everything you are is a miracle
Stating that the entirety of the person is a remarkable phenomenon.
I know you do your crying where tears don't fall, they drift away
Describing how the person handles emotional moments by not shedding visible tears.
It's tugging at your orbit, the weight of all the things I say
Noting the emotional impact of the speaker's words on the person, affecting their orbit (emotional state).
You're already too far away
Acknowledging the growing emotional distance between the speaker and the person.
It's just...it's just...oh, you're standing next to me,
Reiterating the proximity of the person but emphasizing their mental/emotional distance.
But your mind is somewhere else, it's elsewhere,
Highlighting the person's mental preoccupation or distraction even when physically present.
And all the times you learned to fish, you never caught one,
Referencing the person's unsuccessful attempts or struggles in certain endeavors.
You're caught in your own net, your own net
Describing the person as entangled or trapped in their own difficulties.
I always thought that when we shot a capsule into space,
Expressing an expectation that moments of joy and laughter would be immortalized and shared with the universe.
We'd offer up your laughter on a golden record that'd always play,
Envisioning a symbolic representation of the person's happiness in the form of a golden record.
That way the universe would know there's something out there
Believing that sharing joy would make the universe aware of something valuable.
Worth expanding for, someone worth searching for
Expressing the idea that the person is someone worth exploring the universe for.
Can't believe my luck,
Repeating the initial expression of disbelief at the speaker's luck.
I saw your spark so far away out in the dark,
Recalling the distant but captivating quality in the person.
It's a miracle
Reiterating the miraculous nature of the person or their impact.
