Lyrics
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing
He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth
Listen to me when I say ouch
I want something soft
So I give in to the fall, fall, fall (it's cold out here)
I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks
I died and I land with both of my hands
In the mud, the mud
It felt like a god, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere)
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryna leave this orbit, took what's left of me
The forest reaches out to guide me
Blue fire paths of will-o-wisps
Illuminate the darkness's old tricks
I'm nobody's captive (mm-mm)
I asked him not to kill me politely
He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source
I washed up on a sea glass shores
I'm nobody's captive (mm-mm)
It felt like a god, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryna leave this orbit, took what's left of me
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryna leave this orbit, took what's left of me
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
This became my favorite song after about 12 seconds, and the rest of the song only reinforced my opinion. This song is complicated yet groovy, with layers of sound artfully woven through the instruments and vocals in complimentary ranges. It also has so much texture - which is not a word I often use to describe music - but the gruffness of the male vocalist and the smoothness of the female vocalist are so intense that I feel like I can touch it. Their voices are beautiful yet powerful, soothing yet exhilarating. I love the drummer - he’s like Ringo Starr in that he compliments the vocalists and other instrumental perfectly, not overwhelming them, but then hits us with some deceptively complex beats while making them sound so fluid. He is literally the bass and figuratively the base, tying the song together. I can’t wait to hear more stars falling from Celestial Collapse!
