about

Closing off the album, this song is one last huzzah. Starting with samples of water and beautifully simple acoustic guitar, the song is a melancholy look back at things that have ended but also what happens. Fitting that the last line of the album is “my universe will never be the same” as that’s what this album has done for us. The song shares an identical structure to The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes” and is a welcome softer (mostly) acoustic song. It’s the closest thing that would be a classic rock song and features one of the two solos on the album. It’s simple, beautiful, and hopefully someone ill cry.

lyrics

My universe will never be the same x2

What’s happening to me?
This burning in my chest will not cease
Like ice, I tried to conquer the ocean
Yet you conquered my heart

I am here and I am afraid
Yet not even the rain, could wash this all away
I want to bathe in your life stream
Cleanse myself in your existence

Let your ivory tears rain on me
And the waves break on the memory
Of you and I in harmony
Your eyes used to flicker at the sight of stars

My universe will never be the same x3

So come back to me beautiful, always
I cannot wait for the wind to change
To let you fade to me again
Cannot wait to see you again

For I feel so hollow
With all these miles between
For I feel so alone
When you’re not beside me
So let the sands of time
Dance within my hands
It slips away so slowly
Each second is unholy.

The stars echo your name
Crystals in the night, shattered by morning
But you are everlasting, endless night
A beautiful tragedy
