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
