April Meteor
Beau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In colours blue and green, she burns
A trail of fire across the evening sky;
And so into oblivion,
And so she must die.
From the reaches of the universe,
Through countless million years she flew
Uncharted wastes of cosmic void
Brought her to you, led her to me.
Her flight of self-destruction flown,
The outward reaching atmosphere
Will burn the final grains of astral dust.
This atmosphere we trust
As we always must.
So in a flurry of cascading stars,
In colours blue and green, she burns
A trail of fire across the evening sky;
And so into oblivion,
And so she must die.
And so into oblivion,
And so she must die.
The lyrics to Beau's song "April Meteor" describe the journey and inevitable demise of a meteor as it hurtles through the universe towards Earth. The meteor is depicted as a beautiful and spectacular sight, with its stunning and vibrant colors of blue and green. However, its beauty is fleeting as it is destined to self-destruct when it enters the Earth's atmosphere. The lyrics evoke a sense of wonder and awe at the natural phenomenon of meteors and their journey through space.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of acceptance and trust. The meteor's demise is beyond anyone's control, and so the people watching it burn and crash into Earth must trust that the atmosphere will take care of the final pieces of its destruction. There is a sense of resignation to the meteor's fate, but also an acceptance that this is the way of things in the natural world.
Overall, the lyrics to "April Meteor" are a beautifully poetic and insightful meditation on the majesty and transience of the natural world.

In a flurry of cascading stars,
As a result of her final flight, she falls through space like a shower of stars.
In colours blue and green, she burns
The colors blue and green signify her impact on the atmosphere as she falls. She burns brightly as she dies.
A trail of fire across the evening sky;
Her final journey across the sky is marked by fire, as she creates a beautiful, yet tragic spectacle.
And so into oblivion,
As she fades out of existence, she is forgotten by the universe, relegated to dust and debris.
And so she must die.
Death is inevitable for her, as it is for all things that come into being.
From the reaches of the universe,
She has traveled a great distance from her point of origin, moving across the vastness of the universe.
Through countless million years she flew
Her journey was one of an immeasurable length, spanning millions of years.
Towards her final fateful destiny.
She moves inexorably towards her fate, unable to change the course of her life.
Uncharted wastes of cosmic void,
The journey she undertakes takes her through numerous unexplored regions of space, marked only by emptiness and darkness.
Brought her to you, led her to me.
Despite the vastness and randomness of the universe, her path intersects with those of the poet and the listener.
Her flight of self-destruction flown,
The journey she has undergone is one of self-destruction, as she moves towards her inevitable end.
The outward reaching atmosphere
The atmosphere of the planet she falls towards represents the final frontier of her journey.
Will burn the final grains of astral dust.
The impact of her fall will cause the final remnants of her existence to disintegrate and be lost forever.
This atmosphere we trust
The atmosphere of the planet represents the final destination of her long journey, and thus we place our trust in it.
As we always must.
Just as we have always trusted the universe to act according to its own laws, so we trust in the inevitability of her death.
And so into oblivion,
The finality of her journey comes in the form of an endless void, signifying the infinite nature of the universe.
And so she must die.
As her journey concludes, so too does her life. The two are intertwined, and her death becomes a final expression of the beauty and tragedy of existence.
