A poignant, abstract exploration of a parent's heart as they grapple with the impending departure of their child for college. 'Ethereal Departures' blends cosmic imagery with the feelings of nostalgia and urgency, creating a dreamlike soundscape that beautifully encapsulates the struggle of letting go while desiring to give everything they deserve. With references to space, fading youth, and the bittersweetness of passing the torch, this song resonates deeply with those navigating the tides of change.
Verse 1:
In a nebula's embrace, dreams unfold,
Dancing constellations whisper tales untold,
Gravity's gentle pull, yet you drift away,
Pulsars echo softly as youth starts to fray.
Chorus:
Oxygen dwindles, in this silent expanse,
A flickering heartbeat, a cosmic dance,
You're the comet soaring towards the unknown,
In the dreamscape of stars, you're never alone.
Verse 2:
Galaxies bursting, each moment a spark,
Lost in the void, I'm reaching in the dark,
Twilight's lullaby, the crescent moon sighs,
While wormholes beckon, time slips through the skies.
Chorus:
Oxygen dwindles, in this silent expanse,
A flickering heartbeat, a cosmic dance,
You're the comet soaring towards the unknown,
In the dreamscape of stars, you're never alone.
Bridge:
Whispers of stardust trace your silhouette,
With every orbit, a promise, a threat,
Cradled in echoes, I feel you ignite,
But the cosmos awaits, drawing you into the light.
Verse 3:
Space stations flicker, like dreams on the run,
A tapestry woven in the threads of the sun,
As I pass the torch, a brief silhouette,
Mark my heart with memories I won't forget.
Chorus:
Oxygen dwindles, in this silent expanse,
A flickering heartbeat, a cosmic dance,
You're the comet soaring towards the unknown,
In the dreamscape of stars, you're never alone.
Outro:
So fly, my starlight, embrace the embrace,
In the infinite ether, you’ll find your place,
With this love I release, may your spirit ignite,
As I watch you ascend through the velvet night.

it's a song about wanting to give your child everything they deserve and running out of time because they're about to leave and go to college, but using artistic references and abstract lyrics, nothing too direct, in the style of Grimes, Bjork or FKA Twigs. It's also about the loss of youth, passing the torch and incorporating lots of references to outer space, space stations, being lost in space, and lack of oxygen (abstractly).
