about

to the moon and every disillusioned soul who loves her <3

"Aureate Astronomies" is a track for the gifted burnouts, the disillusioned, and everyone else whose childhood dreams of going to the moon are long-dead. It's a bittersweet, anticapitalist lullaby about growing up and realizing that even if there's nothing wrong with you, the systems in place can hold you back, whether it's from the moon or finding a living wage.

lyrics

i was a child,
i fell for the moon,
told her “my darling,
i'll visit you soon”

child i was,
i never asked,
about on her face,
the american flag

it only ever was for a few
there’s no space for us up there too
for better or worse, i’m lacking in net worth
so just stargazing for me
those words to the moon, never came true,
that’s just what’s natural for me and for you
dreams will stay dreams
dreams will stay dreams
of aureate
astronomies

these days they talk about mars,
and maybe, just maybe, distant new stars
we’ve made it an art,
calling things ours

i don’t know about you
but i’d be happy with just a piece or two
i’d make the space in this ramshackle place
and give it a love that no cost can erase

it only ever was for a few
there’s no space for us up there too
for better or worse, i’m lacking in worth
so just stargazing for me
those words to the moon, never came true,
that’s just what’s natural for me and for you
dreams will stay dreams
dreams will stay dreams
of aureate
astronomies
