Lyrics

when dawn was just breaking

At the onset of dawn

my lover and I woke up too tall

Both my lover and I woke up exceptionally tall

woke up too wide

Woke up exceptionally wide

the rafters gave way

The roof structure collapsed

the birds they moved aside

The birds in the vicinity made way

our toes touched horizons

Our feet reached the distant horizons

our heads scraped the sunrise

Our heads grazed the emerging sunrise

our toes touched horizons

Reiteration: Our toes touched horizons

and don't it feel like love

Expressing the sensation of love

to swim right past the sun

Metaphor: To surpass challenges boldly

to kiss oblivion

To embrace the state of nothingness

and still and still and still I wonder, oh no

Ongoing contemplation and uncertainty

how are we supposed to get it back?

Pondering how to retrieve what is lost

how are we supposed to get it back?

Reiteration: How to regain what's lost

funny how it all just seemed to disappear

Reflecting on the ironic disappearance of everything

and I was alright with that

Acceptance of the disappearance with contentment

I still hold them tight

Still holding onto memories firmly

in gravity's name I swallowed the dark

Symbolic act: Consumed darkness in the name of gravity

beat back negative space

Overcame emptiness and negativity

I carved into the planets proof of my claim

Personal mark on the celestial bodies to assert existence

but even stars die

Recognition of the impermanence of stars

even galaxies change

Acknowledgment: Even entire galaxies undergo change
