Astral Apartment
Beyond Gravity: Exploring Cosmic Yearning in 'Astral Apartment'
Lyrics
From the bottom of my heart
Expressing deeply from one's emotions or sincerity
In the belly of the whale
Metaphorical reference to being in a difficult or challenging situation
While on our way each day to beyond the pale
While progressing towards an unknown or unconventional destination
I never know just where to start I guess I'll say goodbye
Difficulty in starting or initiating something, opting to say farewell
To the numbers in my phone that have been leading to my demise
Disconnecting from contacts that have been detrimental or harmful
There's no blue skies in outer space
Highlighting a lack of ideal conditions or happiness
There's no spacemen wading ocean waves
Contrasting the absence of typical space-related imagery
But in the floating glove compartment
Suggesting an unconventional or unexpected place for belongings
Let's let our car fall in the sun
Metaphorically suggesting a radical change or departure
cnd move into an astral apartment
Embracing a fantastical notion of moving to a metaphysical dwelling
If you told her yesterday it's been too long
Referencing a past conversation about the passage of time
cnd it's not enough to sing some pretty words in a pretty little song
Emphasizing that mere words or gestures are insufficient
If what used to lift you high just brings you down
Things that once provided joy now causing distress
Listen for the quiet sound
Suggesting the need to pay attention to subtle or unnoticed signs
What goes around is coming back around
Implying the return of consequences for actions or decisions
We know we're not
Acknowledgment of shared experiences or feelings
Not the only ones
Feeling a desire for a different, more favorable circumstance
That wish we were born in another constellation
Expressing a wish to belong to a different environment or situation
We know we're not staying in one place
Acknowledging the absence of permanence or stability
Till gravity puts wrinkles on our face
Realizing the inevitability of aging or change over time
If what used to lift you high just brings you down
Reiterating the shift from positive to negative influences
Listen for the quiet sound
Encouraging attentiveness to subtle cues or changes
What goes around is coming back around
Highlighting the cyclical nature of consequences or events
We know we're not
Recognition of shared desires or aspirations
Not the only ones
Expressing a longing for a different existence or circumstance
That wish we were born in another constellation
Reiterating the desire to belong to a different environment or situation
We know we're not staying in one place
Acknowledging the transitory nature of existence
Till gravity puts wrinkles on our face
Recognizing the impact of time or experience on physical appearance
