Cover art for Night Sky lyrics by CHVRCHES

It's the imprint of the persons early experiences/childhood haunting them. It's their true identity calling, but distorted in some way. It calls to the adult to come collect what was left behind and repair it. The middle chorus is an argument (alternating lines) between the child left behind and the adult saying they never forgot. Neither perspective is resolved. One must move forward, the other looks back, both has benefits and neither has the answer. The final verses describe the appearance of the individual without resolution to this arrangement.
