Different Stars
Wandering Souls under Different Stars: Trespassers William's Melancholic Odyssey
Lyrics
So you'd sing a lullaby to get me to sleep
The singer's partner used to sing a soothing song to help them sleep.
So it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy
Despite the lullabies, the singer finds it hard to sleep because they haven't seen their partner in person for a long time.
For I've not seen you in the flesh for so long
Expressing the absence of physical proximity for an extended period.
That I'm not sure we would know each other at all
There's uncertainty about recognizing each other due to the prolonged separation.
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
Suggesting that the distance the partner is from the singer makes life easier for them.
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
Assuming that the partner doesn't dwell on the separation due to being distanced.
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
Reiteration of the idea that the partner's life seems easy due to being far away.
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
Reinforcing the notion that the partner doesn't dwell on things as they are distanced.
So I will hum alone, too far from you
The singer feels disconnected and distant from their partner, resorting to humming alone.
All that I say now is nothing to you
The singer believes that their words hold no significance to their distant partner.
We will lie under different stars
Both the singer and their partner exist under different circumstances or situations.
I am where I am, and you're where you are
Acknowledging the physical distance between the singer and their partner.
You're where you are
Reiterating the physical separation between the singer and their partner.
Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are
Continuing the theme that the partner's life seems easier due to being distant.
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
Reinforcement that the partner doesn't dwell on thoughts, benefiting from being far away.
And I'd ask if you're alright wherever you are
Expressing concern about the partner's well-being due to the separation.
And do you think of me, you might, wherever you are
Wondering if the partner thinks of the singer despite their distance.
