This song is about the weight of the world crushing down on you and feelings of inescapable despair. But when we look up at the night sky, we see burning stars and glowing planets in an infinite space that is unaffected by our problems or existence. We find relief in our crushing insignificance.
lyrics
(Verse 1)
There are Monsters everywhere I see
(Everywhere that I see)
Become a victim to the human condition
I feel comfort in the depths of my mind
In my prison I can be where I please
Don't confuse my reclusion for a mere weakness
I am more than you'll in be here and I found
Somewhere free from fear
(Chorus)
Somewhere a way from our voilence
(Verse 2)
Away from all the crimes of those who infect us all
Where the law is the balance of physics
Burning gases and the absence of air that we breath
Where this screaming would just cease to be
(Middle Section)
There’s no need to feel so consumed down here
When there’s stars out there
(Chorus)
Somewhere a way from our voilence
