Sirius' Theme

Will we ever
Will we ever get this right?
The sun is going down
And soon you’ll be left with visions of outer space
Look out the window
The star is gone and the lights are fading away
The gravity pulls us off the ground but I’m not alarmed anymore
Don’t try to fight the laws of physics
It feels like home at the event horizon
We are falling in a black hole
We are falling in a black hole
No one can save us now (Will we ever)
We’ve passed the point of no return (Will we ever get this right?)
In the silence that surrounds us
You’ll find the comfort of loneliness
But time will have no meaning
It’ll not pass us kindly by
While our heads are deceived by the beauty of Sirius

Leaving footprints on the surface of the moon
It’s entirely up to you, whether you’re staying or coming
An entire galaxy could easily fit in your room
You just have to make some space for the unused pages
In this lunar daydream I find
Space friends and silhouettes
It just lacks the atmosphere
And the small sounds of comfort
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
I just wanna be here
I don’t wanna leave
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing
Taking pictures of the night sky
Waiting for the perfect moment
When the moon is under attack by the sun’s neglect
But I think I lost it now
Or I never really got the chance
It was all just a premeditated dream
She was chuckling behind the curtains
Hey Moon, it’s your moment, the stage is yours
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing
Spoken word taken from Apollo 17 mission communications:
"Houston, before we close out our EVA, we understand that there are (...) young people from countries all over the world, (...) they had the opportunity to watch the launch of Apollo 17. (...) Probably one of the most significant things we can think about when we think about Apollo is that it has opened for us (...) a challenge of the future, the door is now cracked, but the promise of the future lies in the young people, not just in America, but the young people all over the world learning to live and learning to work together."
I just wanna be here
I don’t wanna leave
I don't wanna be here
I just wanna leave
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing in the galaxy’s edge
But the moon is cold, and the moon is dead
But the moon is nothing

Somewhere Anywhere

In blurry photographs the universe stands still
Somehow I’ve gotta see behind the entropy
One hand peeking out the window, the other closing it
I’m on a road to somewhere, anywhere not here
The storm has just begun, an interstellar burst
The clock was watching me collapse into the floor
My feet were covered by the blankets of our ghosts
And I couldn’t help but laugh
No I couldn’t help but laugh
Oh in this planet I can’t find somewhere to go
And the UFOs above don’t seem to know
In this atmosphere nothing seems to grow
Faster than I do
In desperate solitude, the spaceman says there’s nothing but dust out here
Faint candles light up in the sky, but everything seems to have lost its sense
Maybe it’s time to break
Maybe it’s time to break away (x3)
Oh, Sirius
Yawa kaerb ot emit s’ti ebyam
Oh in this planet I can’t find somewhere to go
And the UFOs above don’t seem to know
In this atmosphere nothing seems to grow
Oh in this planet I can’t find somewhere to go
And the UFOs above don’t seem to know
In this atmosphere nothing seems to grow
Faster than I do

Reverie

I used to have a meaning for every single little thing
Now I find some comfort in surreal liberty
I see the reflection of a young self-conscious guy
In the scattering of lights up in the sky
With eyes closed, feeling the hysteria
With eyes closed, getting high on agonists
And the feeling dissipates, it never really was there
And the feeling dissipates, so I take off into space and stay in
Reverie (x3)
An old man told me eventually that beauty never lasts
No matter how many flowers blossom, how many simply die
So burn all the fuckers and throw their ashes up to the sky
All the beauty lies in dreams and you can only see the beauty when you’re in
Reverie (x4)

Light Years Away, Pt. 1
04:36
|

"Despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension."
It’s getting hard to see through all these lights
The movie reel has caught fire now
We’re all burning bright
In a space flight with all our windows open
And all we do is dress real cool and pretend that we’re something we’re not
And all we do is survive through the end of all we know
A few light years away (x2)
I reach for the stars
A few light years away (x2)
It’s getting hard to see through all these nights
The stars above don’t shine for me now
They’re all burning bright
And Sirius has come to burn our past
And all we do is watch the moon and pretend that we’re something we’re not
And all we do is survive through the past and present tense
A few light years away (x2)
I’ve seen their lies
A few light years away (x2)
Why won’t we see beyond the clouds
Even if the universe is full of lies
Should we all rage at the sky above
The stars they shine
They shine for all of us
They shine

Light Years Away, Pt. 2

Lest we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here among the stars
Where’s downwards anyway?
Lest we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here right next to Sirius
Where’s downwards anyway?
Lest we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
But here among the stars
We can find a getaway
Lest we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
And I’m long too far gone
A few light years away
Lest we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here among the stars
Where’s downwards anyway?
Lest we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here right next to Sirius
Where’s downwards anyway?
At last we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
But here among the stars
We can find a getaway
At last we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
And I’m long too far gone
A few light years away
At last we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here among the stars
Where’s downwards anyway?
(Where’s downwards anyway?)
At last we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
But here right next to Sirius
Where’s downwards anyway?
(Where’s downwards anyway?)
At Last we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
(Apart from where we stand)
But here among the stars
We can find a getaway
(We can find a getaway)
At last we fall apart
Apart from where we stand
And I’m long too far gone
A few light years
We are falling in a black hole
We are falling in a black hole
I just wanna leave
At last we fly downwards
And spiral ourselves away
And I’m long too far gone
A few light years away
Away
Away

Reaching for heights above
We’re taking off to the brightest star
I forgot to say goodbye to my friends
I forgot to apologize
We were screaming at the top of our lungs
Last time we went to Sirius
No one could hear you speak
No one could hear you cry
No one’s coming to save you, daydreamer (x2)
No I never really got to know myself clearly
From humanity’s point of view I’m just living
In the scattering dust that falls from your ceiling
And the skeletons in my closet are still breathing
But I found another way to spend another evening
In the satellites that forgot to take me with them
I’m not listening I’m no longer human being
I’m just stardust
And I never waited for someone to get a good glimpse
And I never waited for the time I stop dreaming
And I never waited for someone to come save me
No one’s coming to save you, daydreamer (x4)
No I never really found myself in other systems
But my body feels better when I travel at light speed
My lover tells me it’s clear I’m gonna get far
‘Til I run out of fuel at the border of my backyard
And the gravity drags (x3)
And the gravity shouts at me, for the black hole where I’m falling
She asks when I’ll bite the bullet and stop fighting and I said:
I’m just starting
And I never waited for the end of the story
And I never waited for the time I stop falling
And I never waited for someone to start hoping
And I never waited for someone to stop gravity
And I never waited for the time I stop dreaming
And I never waited for someone to come save me
No one’s coming to save you, daydreamer (x4)
I would do anything for anyone to save me now
But no one’s coming

Dying Star (SN 1604)
05:07
|

At night I dream of broken hallows
My past self wouldn’t recognize
For each thing I stole from him
He ran two hundred thousand miles
And I lost myself for too long
I was led into a hatred warren
Between fragments of a dying star
There were so many to choose from
All my bones crushed by the unknown, my ears wide shut, I can’t hear my own voice
So every single night I feel like I
Fall into my grave when I fall asleep
We’re not contemporary
So I ask myself
Will we ever get this right? (x4)
So I long for completion
Alongside the shadows of my unfinished sentences
And all the letters I’ve thrown away
Dance and laugh in absolute silence
I’ve read all the chapters of my autobiography
My ink is just too dry to write it
Let’s have another glass of liquid amnesia
We can dance and stop asking ourselves why
Will we ever get this right? (x4)
