about
Sung by the sculpture on the moon created by Paul Van Hoeydonck.
lyrics
A plaque with the names of dead people for company
While soft moon dust covers me up
Did you know this was not what was planned
I’ve disappointed the man who created me
Fostered bad feelings among those who aided me
I’m all alone here while you fight about what I am
And you don’t know what I’ve become
I wait here patiently, pull at your oceans
Deliver the night to you, heightened emotions
And down there on earth you look up but you never see
You’re all too distracted by all the activity
People...animals...plants
No one ever alone
But Artemis, Lona, the moons of mythology
None of them come by to offer apology
Nobody comes by at all noone knows who I am
Who I am
A tombstone, a gateway for star bound humanity
A somber reflection. A reason for vanity
I lie here a form so abstract I don’t know what I am
Did you know that the things far above you can’t help but love you
That’s why they want to come down and crash into you
But you don’t know what I’ve become
And sometimes your planet feels wrong like I’ve forgotten it’s been down there all along
While soft moon dust covers me up
Did you know this was not what was planned
I’ve disappointed the man who created me
Fostered bad feelings among those who aided me
I’m all alone here while you fight about what I am
And you don’t know what I’ve become
I wait here patiently, pull at your oceans
Deliver the night to you, heightened emotions
And down there on earth you look up but you never see
You’re all too distracted by all the activity
People...animals...plants
No one ever alone
But Artemis, Lona, the moons of mythology
None of them come by to offer apology
Nobody comes by at all noone knows who I am
Who I am
A tombstone, a gateway for star bound humanity
A somber reflection. A reason for vanity
I lie here a form so abstract I don’t know what I am
Did you know that the things far above you can’t help but love you
That’s why they want to come down and crash into you
But you don’t know what I’ve become
And sometimes your planet feels wrong like I’ve forgotten it’s been down there all along
