Lyrics
I saw the milky-way
I witnessed the beauty of the Milky Way.
Like in a dream
This experience felt like a dream.
And it was just as perfect as it seemed
The sight was as perfect as it appeared.
It was from outer space
The Milky Way seemed to come from outer space.
You should have seen
Expressing regret that the listener missed witnessing the spectacle.
I guess it resonated well with me
The experience resonated deeply with the narrator.
There wasn't much to see or much to do
There wasn't much to explore or engage with.
So I went flying around in circles
The narrator aimlessly circled in the limited space.
I felt the urge of making something new
Feeling a creative impulse to make something new.
But only just for you
The creative endeavor is solely for the listener.
So now I'm building castles
The narrator is now metaphorically building aspirations or dreams.
Castles in the sky
Specifically constructing "castles in the sky" as a metaphor for dreams.
There's more to me than meets the eye
The narrator suggests there's more to them than is readily apparent.
Castles in the sky, oh oh oh oh
Reiteration of building dreams in the sky with added vocal expression.
I saw a shooting star
The narrator observes a shooting star and makes a wish.
I wished away
The wish involves dispelling the accumulated mess humanity has created.
All the accumulated mess we've made
Reflecting on the wish, perhaps considering it a step too extreme.
Maybe I went too far
Acknowledging a drifting away from reality.
Drifted away
The narrator is not ready to fully detach and plans to stay grounded.
But I'm not ready yet, I plan to stay
There isn't much to see or much to do
Similar to earlier, not much to see or do in the current state.
And I am flying around in circles
Circling aimlessly in the limited space persists.
I feel the urge of making something new
Feelings of creative impulse reemerge, but the creation is for the listener.
But only just for you
Reiteration that the creative effort is solely for the listener.
So now I'm building castles
Continuation of metaphorical construction of dreams or aspirations.
Castles in the sky
Repeating the idea of building "castles in the sky."
There's more to me than meets the eye
Stating there's more depth to the narrator than what meets the eye.
Castles in the sky, oh oh oh oh
Reiteration of building dreams in the sky with added vocal expression.
So now I'm building castles
Repetition of the metaphorical construction of dreams or aspirations.
Castles in the sky
Repeating the idea of building "castles in the sky."
There's more to me than meets the eye
Emphasizing there's more depth to the narrator than what meets the eye.
Castles in the sky, oh oh oh oh
Reiteration of building dreams in the sky with added vocal expression.
