Kathmandu
Ephemeral Escape: Julia D'Angelo's Kathmandu Universe
Lyrics
Never been so scared of the night sky
Expressing fear or anxiety about the night sky.
Never been so used to a white lie
Being accustomed to deception or falsehood.
This orange burns in my mind
The color orange symbolizes a vivid memory or experience.
5:59
Refers to a specific time, possibly a moment of significance.
I roll over to the sound of your soft reply
Waking up to the partner's gentle response.
These covers burn my skin like a million suns
Describing discomfort or intensity in the bed covers.
Weighing on my chest like a million tons
Feeling a heavy emotional burden.
I sink into your bed
Immersing into the partner's bed or space.
Crawling out of my head
Emerging from one's thoughts or mental space.
Shed the last remaining bits of my lying lungs
Symbolic shedding of falsehoods or pretenses.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Entering a self-created world or mental space.
Let the view of your stars wash over me
Letting the partner's positive qualities influence.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Continuation of the self-created mental space.
I'm looking far beyond what you see
Aspiring to see beyond superficial appearances.
Cursing all the days I lie here awake
Expressing frustration or regret for staying awake.
Experimenting ways to escape this place
Seeking ways to escape or cope with reality.
I'm a willow inside
Comparing oneself to a willow, symbolizing flexibility.
Free as the tide
Feeling free and untethered like the tide.
Waiting for the day I destroy my fate
Anticipation of a future where fate is overcome.
Tell me all the depths of your fantasy
Inviting the partner to share deep desires or thoughts.
Make believe this isn't reality
Creating a fantasy to escape the harshness of reality.
Losing all sense of time
Losing track of time, possibly in the partner's presence.
I cling to the vine
Symbolizing holding onto something for support.
Swinging from the mountains in rhapsody
Experiencing a joyful, harmonious state in nature.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Reiterating the entry into a self-created mental space.
Let the view of your stars wash over me
Letting the partner's positive influence wash over.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Continuing the immersion in the mental space.
I'm looking far beyond what you see
Seeking a perspective beyond the superficial.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Repeating the theme of entering a self-created world.
Let the view of your stars wash over me
Reiterating the positive influence of the partner.
Slip into my made up galaxy
Continuing the exploration of a personal mental space.
I'm looking far beyond what you see
Expressing a desire for depth beyond appearances.
Never been so used to this night sky
Reflecting on becoming accustomed to the night sky.
Never been so scared of this white lie
Contrasting the fear of deception with the comfort of lies.
Press my hand to the moon
Symbolic connection to the partner through touch.
Say I'll be back soon
Promising a return despite the need to leave.
And slip through the glass with one last goodbye
Departing with a final farewell through a barrier.
