about

It is impossible to be blissfully happy all the time. Easy highs usually come with accompanying lows. Contentment is a long game and no matter what your philosophy or religion, life is life and you must face it. The astronomy-based chorus is a reminder to keep perspective and remember that the planet itself has darkness and light every with every rotation. And you can always count on the light returning.

lyrics

I went looking for the happiness of fireflies and theme park rides
Of spotting a pod of orcas swimming by your boat
I went looking of bliss and this occurred the other day to me
That’s just sugar high happiness and that’s fine
But you gotta pay the fine

Moving forward ‘n’ moving back, we’re really spinning round and round
Flying towards Andromeda at 300,000 miles per hour
The search for endless days of smiles at the cost of really living life
The turning of the planet gives us day
And it gives us night

There’s a long list of attempts I’ve had to not feel sad and not feel bad.
Religion couldn’t save me from the nature of the world
Chocolate mousse and fancy booze couldn’t do it either
It’s just sugar high happiness has this fine
But that’s fine
