Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ooh baby, don't you know I suffer?
Ooh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
Ooh
You set my soul alight
Ooh
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
I thought I was a fool for no one
Ooh baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
And how long before you tell the truth?
Ooh
You set my soul alight
Ooh
You set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the supermassive

And the superstars sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstars sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Ooh baby, can you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretenses
How long before you let me go?
