paradise 03:49
The leader of the free world looks around He's totally alone, nothing makes a sound The surface of the earth is far below It turns out that it is curved - what do you know? Being outrageous on the internet Is feeling insignificant Up here all alone And all that power that you exercised Isn't really recognised This far away from home As i float around Our bittersweet paradise I'm starting to realise That all along I was a king in my own eyes Trying to stop the tide A tiny little drop of blue and green The most beautiful thing he's ever seen A brilliant jewel in a velvet sky He never even got to say goodbye As i float around Our bittersweet paradise I'm starting to realise That all along I was a king in my own eyes Trying to stop the tide As i float around Our bittersweet paradise I'm starting to realise Maybe i was wrong I want to try to do what's right I hope it's not too late to try...

Let's hide away a while Protect me with your smile The air in here is warm It feels like i am home So let's watch the world burn Out the living room window In the first-floor flat we love I'll serenade you on the violin I've never felt so free With you, it feels like i am me So let's wait in here a while Protected by our smiles And let's watch the lightning From the big bay window In the first-floor flat we love I'll serenade you on the violin You and me together Me and you forever Even in inclement weather You and me together And we danced our first dance And we cried into our hands At the memories we could have had Remember when you gave me a chance? And now i'm happiest when you stand Shoulder to shoulder with me You and me Me and you You and me together Me and you forever Even in inclement weather You and me together

cortisol 04:21
I'm burning out It's too loud Can't hear me shouting out On my own Information overload Stood, rooted to the ground With colour streaming out my mouth Don't know where i should start Maybe i could do with checking out Stuck in fight or flight A cortisol rollercoaster ride What's the cost Of switching off My attention? Lost, fickle, bored & vain With colours radiating from my brain Don't know where i should start Maybe i could do with checking out I could do with checking out I could do with checking out I could do with checking out

about

During spaceflight, some astronauts experience a cognitive shift. Seeing firsthand the reality of the earth in space, it is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void. Borders vanish, the conflicts that divide people lose meaning, and the need to protect this pale blue dot becomes obvious and overwhelmingly important.

These three songs are about perspective: taking a step back, seeing everything from above, bringing what's important into focus.
