perihelion- noun ASTRONOMY
the point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is closest to the sun.
"today Mercury is at perihelion"
i wrote 'perihelion' when i was entertaining the idea of flying away and moving to space, where the sky is a thousand different colours and the stars make everything glow. sometimes the world is tough, and i think it'd be nice to take a breath and take a moment to go where there's no gravity, to just dream.
(lyrics)
skies are falling
heartbreak was a high but it's finally here
heaven is calling
to warn me i'm in love with an idea
i've packed my suitcase full of space and i'm ready
if the stars spill out to tell me it's time to go
life is strong but the galaxy is steady
and there's beauty in loving what you don't know
somewhere out in space, there's a place waiting just for me
in dreams i see her
dancing on the dark side of the moon
she's dust and dark matter
and the day takes her away too soon
see it feels like my head is a universe
and there's no gravity to hold me down
things have gotta get better before they get worse
so set this ship to start the countdown
watch me brush my fingertips along the milky way
and i will dance the line that runs between the night and the day
up here i'm a supernova, watch the chaos unfold
the drama and the action as the universe explodes
trace these constellations of stars under my skin
watch my world reform and i'll live in perihelion
so say goodbye to reality
i am leaving to where only the sun can follow me
these interstellar thoughts will drift across the sky
she can stay a dream up where dreams never die
they call it perihelion
this celestial state of mind i'm in
it's time for me to be born again
in perihelion
