Ad Astra
Celestial Rituals: Unveiling the Mystical Tale in Deerhunter's 'Ad Astra'
Lyrics
Many years ago
Reflecting on a distant past
I happened on a place
Discovering a specific location
The shadows hanging low
Noticing darkness or mystery
I could make out his face
Recognizing an individual's identity
In an ancient mist
Observing an ancient scene
They gazed into the flame
People staring at a fire
Around a dying one
Group surrounding a dying person
They chanted out a name
Chanting a name during a ritual
They looked up to the sky
Looking upward and reciting old traditions
Reciting ancient rites
Engaging in ancient ceremonies
The trees began to sway
Trees reacting to a supernatural force
Bathed in fluorescent light
Illuminated by unnatural light
The embers in their eyes
Eyes focused on the undead
Fixed on the living dead
Still and lifeless figure
Motionless he rests
Person's skin emitting a red glow
His skin was glowing red
(No specific information)
And as sure as we stand
Expressing certainty or conviction
When we call
Calling out with confidence
With our four hands
Referencing the act with multiple hands
For the one from above
Seeking assistance from a higher power
Who will heal us
Asking for healing through divine intervention
With a touch
Believing in the power of a divine touch
I wish I was a mole in the ground
Expressing a desire for a humble existence
Yes, I wish I was a mole in the ground
Reiterating the wish for simplicity
If I's a mole in the ground I'd root that mountain down
Imagining a transformative impact
And I wish I was a mole in the ground
Continuing the desire for a simpler life
