Story behind the song
This is about a girl I was trying to get to know, but uncontrollable circumstances got in our way to sweep us away in different directions. I know I said I wouldn't be doing any more rap, but this one is a good track lyrically so I could hardly re-write the lyrics to change the style.
Lyrics
This life is like a journey / Through cold, empty space
For long, dark ages I drift / Without seeing a face
That reflects something in me / A desire, a need
To break out of my orbit / And at last be free.
Dimly, I see a light / In the endless waste
Is this Venus approaching? / Do I detect a trace
Of life, of hope, of love / In her gaze?
Are the stars re-aligning / To begin a new phase?
Slowly, softly / As we draw near
We send out probes / To test the atmosphere
And find we can breathe / And that there’s nothing to fear -
Now divine harmonies / Are all I can hear.
At last we meet / On our orbital paths
Our world’s collide / And our bodies attract
But this is no near miss / We make contact and kiss
Now my mind is lit up / With celestial bliss.
Then all too soon / Gravity pulls us apart
The universe intervenes / And we’re forced on separate paths
But with memories to sustain me / And hope in my heart
I’m certain one supernova / Is only just the start.
We’ve gotta find a way / To break this system’s grip
We’ve gotta break out of orbit / Yes we’ve gotta eclipse
This impersonal power / With the most personal there is
If we act as one / There’s no way to resist.
We’ll be free, yeah...
We’ll be free.
Let the sun be extinguished / We’ll still thrive in the dark
So long as we’re together / We can strike our own sparks.
We’ll be free, yeah...
Yeah, we’ll be free.
