Lyrics
[Intro]
[Slow orchestral swell, mournful solo violin, ambient space drone]
[Verse]
White noise fills the cabin air.
I watch the systems crawl.
Three light years from your kitchen chair,
Staring at the wall.
The dinner plate, the morning tea,
Feel like a different life.
Just a ghost of who I used to be,
Away from my kids and wife.
[Chorus]
I’m drifting in the deep,
Counting down the days.
While you are fast asleep,
Counting down the days.
A million miles of cold,
Counting down the days.
Stories left untold,
Counting down the days.
[Verse]
[Electric guitar enters, clean tone with heavy delay, soaring violin counter-melody]
Your picture’s taped beside the screen.
The edges start to fray.
The darkest void I've ever seen,
Is just one more delay.
I heard your voice on a delayed feed,
Laughing in the hall.
It’s the only oxygen I need,
To keep standing tall.
[Chorus]
I’m drifting in the deep,
Counting down the days.
While you are fast asleep,
Counting down the days.
A million miles of cold,
Counting down the days.
Stories left untold,
Counting down the days.
[Bridge]
[Distorted electric guitar builds, orchestral strings reach a crescendo]
The engine hums a lonely tune.
The stars are looking dry.
I’d trade the sun and every moon,
To see a blue-green sky.
To feel the grass, to hold your hand,
To walk upon the dirt.
I’m tired of this metal land,
And how the distance hurts.
[Chorus]
[Full orchestral arrangement, powerful vocal delivery]
I’m drifting in the deep,
Counting down the days.
While you are fast asleep,
Counting down the days.
A million miles of cold,
Counting down the days.
Stories left untold,
Counting down the days.
[Outro]
[Music fades to a single violin note, soft guitar plucking]
Just one more year.
Wait for me.
I’m coming home.
[Silent pause]
[Outro]
