Lighter Than Air
Caligonaut Lyrics

Lighter than air
I want to feel weightless and free from the constraints of existence

Laid down and picked apart
I am struggling to adjust to my own presence and identity

Let me disappear
I want to depart from this world and existence

With this world I need to part
I no longer want to be a part of this world and existence

Bright burning flares
I want to bathe in bright and vivid experiences

Bathe me in lucid art
I want to immerse myself in experiential art that is vivid and lucid

Away from the stare
I want to escape from the judgmental stare of others

I have inside my heart
I am burdened by emotions and feelings that I struggle to express

Look up! Behind this thick, wet snow, somewhere to just let go, high up there!
I yearn to escape and release myself from the constraints of reality, high up there in the sky

Absorbed! Release me to sky, a peace awaits my eyes. Have no fear!
I want to be absorbed in the freedom of the sky, where I can be at peace without fear

Kindled dreams play out before I realize, I am still right here
I am lost in my dreams and imagination, but wake up to the reality of my present existence

Going through my favourite lines of poetry
I find solace in poetry and literature

I recall a torrent of lights in pouring rain
I remember vivid and powerful experiences from my past

And the ghost I used to be, like a soft sigh
I remember my past self as if it was a faint and fleeting memory

Let out by the street, and it overwhelms me
I feel overwhelmed and consumed by the memories of my past self

I am never unchained from the elemental
I can never escape the fundamental and essential aspects of my being and existence

Just make it stop!
I want the chaos and confusion around me to stop

Hide me somewhere
I want to hide and escape from reality

Is it not enough?
I question whether the current situation is bearable

A wall of nonsense surrounds me
I feel trapped and surrounded by meaningless and confusing situations

Stood by the same place today, lost within this reverie of yet another fate
I am lost and stuck in the same place, going through another cycle of fate and destiny

Break this here haze now, can't leave it
I need to break free from the haze of confusion and chaos, but I am unable to do so

I keep on piling up these things on me
I keep burdening myself with more problems and worries

So strange, since I can't recall to have agreed to that
I question how I ended up with so many problems and worries, which I don't remember agreeing to

It's that time of year again
The current season reminds me of a particular time of year

When the rain comes down hard
The weather is harsh and unforgiving, with heavy rainfall

and the ground boils the water
The rain causes steam to rise from the ground due to its intense heat

For us to drink the mist
The steam and mist created by the rainfall provide a source of hydration

And I am a quiet drinker
I am a reserved and introspective person who drinks the mist quietly

Who yet again refract the light
I am reminded of memories and experiences from my past which are reflected in the light

Of my memory
I am reflecting on and processing my memories

And summons up the dark parts
In the process of reflecting on my memories, I am also recalling the darker aspects of my past

But looking now
In the present moment

At these endless repeats
I am seeing the never-ending cycle of events in my life

At this night around me
In the darkness and stillness of the night

I no longer find release
I can no longer find a way to escape and release myself from the constraints of my existence

And in a new, soft half-light
In a new and gentle light

It's possible to make out
It's becoming clear

A world that ripples
A world that is constantly changing and evolving

That rings
That resonates and echoes through my being and existence

Lighter than air, I love you all
Despite my struggles and conflicts with my existence, I still have love for the world and everything in it
