Part 1 - Awakening
03:57
|
|
||
waking up from the sound of the alarm clock
numb and dizzy from the pressure building up
collecting thoughts feels like a static shock
he clears his mind for the final checkup
one switch flip away from reaching the sky
one switch flip away from reaching the sky
one mistake away from the final goodbye
one switch flip away from reaching the sky
what is everyone looking at
why is everyone looking at me

Part 1 - The Launch
02:22
|
|
||
I hear static sounds
fading alarm horns
shading backgrounds
We are airborne
as the sun goes down we're going faster
as the earth recedes we're going faster
as the light goes dim we're going faster
as the darkness grows we're getting closer
vessel reaching final velocity
approaching orbit trajectory
as clouds are reduced to small dust bunnies
a faint shadow arises in the horizon

Part 1 - Collision
04:56
|
|
||
spaceship crumbling under his feet
everything's fading in a heartbeat
walls and floors are turning into dust
all dreams and hopes ready to combust
blown away and stunned by the final blast
his mind gets stuck in hibernation
flirting with neural decimation
approaching eternal oblivion

Part 1 - Realisation
05:49
|
|
||
drifting through the solar wind
surrounded by shattered stones
spacetime elegantly trimmed
soft shivers spread through his bones
|

Part 2 - Denial
04:38
|
|
||
is this really happening
and why am I still alive
does anything have a meaning
Am I the only one to survive
spaceship dust floating around
while gently poking at me
am I just another debris
will this nightmare ever shutdown
|

Part 2 - Angst
01:34
|
|
||
angst-boiled blood rushing his veins
he gazed at the earth waiting for answers and maybe some form of apology
punching remains of the spaceship
he turned on the communication system and prepared for future negociation

Part 2 - Negotiation
03:48
|
|
||
hi there I'm calling from above your heads
something went wrong, I'm the only one left
entropy grows, the cold feeling spreads,
I think that my visor is probably cleft
something appeared and crashed all that you built
it got us like a rabbit on the freeway
send someone to pick me up or I'll die
there's not much oxygen left anyway
|

Part 2 - Depression
04:00
|
|
||
the Earth kept on revolving
without me
abjection kept on evolving
within me
I feel like a dandelion seed floating away from the storm's eye
hopeless
is this worth staying awake or am I holding to something I can't stand by
hours turn into days
around me
I can see my eyes
in the visor
I feel like a dandelion seed floating away from the storm's eye
hopeless
what brought me here is slowly turning superfluous, one can get used to the void
for it molds your consciousness into mush
