about

Kyle and I had just been to a Flaming Lips concert and we wanted to make a song that sounded kind of like them. Space is a running theme in a lot of their songs, so it was obvious to make a song about that. We knew we'd have to use a lot of synths, so this song's loaded with them. Though I'm not sure if the final product really sounds like a Flaming Lips song at all... probably not. And the lyrics ended up being pretty Bowie inspired anyway.

lyrics

The first mistake I made was not filling up with gas
And then I screwed myself when I had a few drinks and crashed
And now I’m in a loop of free fall through abyss
Now I won’t be going home and I’m really really pissed
Never been this far away from home
Now I can’t see anyone at all
I told myself I’d be found but I guess I lied
The timer’s ticking down but what’s left of me is stuck on this ride

Now I’m lost in space and my engine has collapsed
Communication’s down and I can’t check Google Maps
I checked my phone but here, I don’t have any bars
The only place I’m going is over the stars

Never been this far away from home
Now I can’t see anyone at all
And the stars so vast surround me yet I’m all alone

Never been this far away from home
Now I can’t see anyone at all
But for now I’m here, waiting for the day that I cease to breathe
Then I’ll be swallowed up and get my own constellation named after me
