?"Lightyear Lullaby"?
(A twangy space-waltz for homesick astronauts)
[Verse 1]
Your voice cracks through the comet trail,
A cowboy tune through solar hail.
All those two-step supernovas,
Now just static in the rover...
[Pre-Chorus]
The milky way spins like a spur,
My oxygen hums "remember her".
That freeze-dried rose you packed so tight,
Blooms in zero-gravity light...
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh my shooting star,
Dust dances where our planets are.
All the "miss you"s that I send,
Bend past Jupiter's pretend...
[Verse 2]
The satellite dish hears my boots,
Echo through the blackout suits.
That lasso moon we used to chase,
Now just gravity's fool's embrace...
[Bridge]
(Theremin wails with pedal steel)
"Home's a...
Flickering...
Blue marble...
In rearview dreaming..."
[Outro]
The constellations count my sins,
While cargo bay moths chew my pins.
So when the rockets all rust,
Bury me in starlight dust...
This cosmic country track blends slide guitar with analog synth waves, exploring how space magnifies earthly longing. The lyrics juxtapose cowboy imagery with astronaut isolation. Shall we lean heavier into western or sci-fi metaphors next?
