Galaxies Lyrics

Cover art for Galaxies lyrics by Laura Veirs

This song is about passion. A connection, and the energy that flows through everything.

There is an element of sadness to it though - a longing that comes from a human desire to be free; to love, to connect, and the vastness of this energy sometimes isolates us. "Galaxies flood down my cheeks" speaks to the fact that the scale of this energy is immeasurable - it lives in a tear.

The things that happen when they sing, dance, and kiss defy gravity or bend the rules of nature as we know them; they are no longer constrained by the confines of "gravity"

"Gravity" is a metaphor for one's insecurities; feeling "tied down" by fear, etc.

"Gravity Is dead you see No gravity All I need Is beating red." - i.e. needing to let go of fear and follow love. This song is remarkable.
