Lyrics
The stars were just the holes punched in a shoebox
The stars are metaphorically described as holes in a shoebox, providing the necessary space for a creature to breathe.
That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe
Expanding on the metaphor, suggesting that constellations represent innovative forms originating from an incomprehensibly large captor.
As if every constellation was just a form of innovation
Describing the moon reminiscent of a coach from junior high school, possibly symbolizing guidance or influence, particularly in the context of sports.
From a captor too enormous to conceive
The brighter the moon shines, the wider the metaphorical smile, expressing joy and attachment to a beloved season.
The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school
Suggesting that excessive contemplation of the night sky may lead to seeing more than intended.
When players hacked their way through each opposing team
Reflecting on the duality of reality and potential illusions, mentioning a world behind the mirror and potential tools (razor and toothbrush).
And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling
In moments when everything aligns, experiences seem to merge or connect, possibly indicating a predetermined order or plan.
On a season that he loved too much to leave
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
Reiterating the theme of seeing more than intended during contemplation of the night sky.
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
Referencing the potential existence of a hidden world behind reflective surfaces, with a mention of personal care items (razor and toothbrush).
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
In moments of alignment, experiences amalgamate or flow together, suggesting a sense of design or purpose.
It all runs together, as if by design
The boat out in the middle of the ocean
Reiterating the theme of seeing more than intended during contemplation of the night sky.
Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea
Building a relationship with the mysteries (riddles) until they become a constant presence in daily life.
Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection
Not recognize that's what it used to be
Restating the idea of experiences merging or running together, as if orchestrated by a deliberate design or plan.
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
Concluding with the repetition of the idea that life's occurrences run together as if by design.
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
-It all runs together, as if by design
-Every day getting a little
-More aquainted with the riddles
-Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go
-When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
-Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
-When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
-It all runs together, as if by design
-As if by design
-As if by design
