“Our album is a concept piece that revolves around a carnival sideshow,” Kate DeGraide says, “but the people in it aren’t freaks of nature. They’re normal people like you and me, but what’s being exploited is their defense mechanisms against pain and loneliness.”
“I’m really excited about the way the album has turned out, because I think we’ve gone to a place that’s musically different, yet at the same time we find the music resonating with all types of people,” Neil DeGraide says. “As an artist, there’s not much that makes me happier than that.”
Furthest Star
Dirt Poor Robins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see her walking next to me
I feel her breath upon my cheek
Speak gentle words to tame the beast
We dream of ways to sail above
Flee from the coveteers of love
Evade their jealous hunt
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the Milky Way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star that we see
Behold the day she found me here
So near the end of love's career
I feared every flower that appeared
Had been uprooted by my peers
But then my autumn prayers were heard
Just before the frost emerged
And I'll have my just deserts
When once again I'm next to her
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the Milky Way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star that we see
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the Milky Way
Beyond the galaxy
A world for only you and me
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the Milky Way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star that we see
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see

In the first verse, the singer describes a beautiful dream where he imagines his lover walking beside him and whispering gentle words to calm his restless heart. The second verse takes a darker turn, as the singer reflects on the challenges that lovers face in a world where jealousy and greed can consume even the strongest bonds of affection. But despite these obstacles, the singer clings to the hope of finding a place of refuge with his beloved, far away from the strife and turmoil of the mundane world. He imagines a distant star, clear across the Milky Way, that will be their shelter and sanctuary, where they can build a new home for themselves, free from the cares and worries of everyday life.
The imagery of the song is rich and evocative, drawing on themes of fantasy and science fiction to convey the power of the singer's emotional yearning.

In my brightest reverie
During my happiest daydream
I can see her walking next to me
I imagined her walking alongside me
I feel her breath upon my cheek
I sense her breath on my face
Speak gentle words to tame the beast
She comfortingly speaks to calm me
We dream of ways to sail above
We fantasize about escaping
Flee from the coveteers of love
Run away from love's greedy hunters
Evade their jealous hunt
Avoid their envious pursuit
In the shadows of a distant sun
Around far-off stars and unknown places
We'll find our hiding place
We'll discover a sanctuary
Clear across the Milky Way
Across the entire galaxy
Beyond the galaxy
Outside the known universe
On the furthest star that we see
At the farthest visible star
Behold the day she found me here
One day, she discovered me here
So near the end of love's career
When I almost lost all hope for love
I feared every flower that appeared
Each new love prospect made me nervous
Had been uprooted by my peers
Might have been sabotaged by those around me
But then my autumn prayers were heard
Eventually, my prayers were answered
Just before the frost emerged
In the nick of time before despair took over
And I'll have my just deserts
I'll receive my rightful rewards
When once again I'm next to her
When I am reunited with her
A world for only you and me
A universe we can have all to ourselves
Beyond the galaxy
Outside the entirety of what is known
On the furthest star that we see
At the extreme boundary of what we can perceive

Lyrics
In my brightest reverie
I can see her walking close to me
I feel her breathe upone my cheek
Speak gentle words to tame the beast
We dream of ways to sail above
Flee from the coveteers of love
Evade their jealous hunt
In the shadows of the distant sun
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the milky way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see
Behold the day she found me here
So near the end of love's career
I feared every flower that appeared
Had been uprooted by my peers
But then my autumn prayers were heard
Just before the from emerged
And I'll have my just deserts
When once again I'm next to her
Inside our hiding place
Clear across the milky way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the milky way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see
A world for only you and me
We'll find our hiding place
Clear across the milky way
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see
Beyond the galaxy
On the furthest star we can see

Dirt Poor Robins. Sorry if i do mistakes in this comment, I'm not good speaking english! You don't know me, I'm just a boy in this world listening your music. I just want you know I love your music, it is awesome and bring me in another dimension, same dimension i love to stay in. 23 years old, and I can't find other guys that can appreciate your songs, it hurts me, modern music disgust me and I can't understand why your fascinating pieces can't touch their souls as them touch mine. I would say other things, but as I said, I'm not skilled in English language, and i bet I've already wrote some bad sentences! And i don't like google translate too!
Well, it's ok, i had to write this comment!
Just know it, Neil, Kate(right?) and other members of the band, don't stop it, you have not 3 billions views like scum as despacito, but neither 1 billion people listening despacito win vs one of us is listening to your songs!
Greetings from Italy!
p.s. I promise i will take a C2 english level :^) .. (among other things, i need it for my academic career)
p.p.s Geat Act. 3 <3
Bye (°w°)

God the VIBE of this song. It's so heavy, so dark in a sense, cause I can see it as romantic! sure, two lovers wanting to escape, but then these lyrics
"I feared that every flower that appeared had been uprooted by my peers"
"but then my autumn prayers were heard"
"And I'll have my just deserts"
appear and it makes me question, just how pure is it really...
Regardless, this song is SO GOOD! On a binge of yours songs and so far I have not run into one I did not enjoy ♥

Honestly, an absolute modern masterpiece. Between the vocals, the orchestral tones and instruments, and the forboding tones the song itself sets. You just get absorbed by it. Just, absolutely amazing what you've done with this one.
@Bugsabo1983
This song sounds so sinister and warm, I love it. As most others, I only recently found you through Spotify. And OH MY GOD. thank the lords you showed up there, so beautiful. I'm in love with all your works

@radicallizard7665
whenever people make newer albums the often quality tends to slowly fade away with each one. not y'all. like, never y'all.
WE'LL FIND OUR HIIIDIIING PLAAAAAAAAAAAACE
@aydenwoyus7943
radicallizard I agree, I think this has to be my favorite of their album's. It has so many good songs like lady hell, wasteland, irony, great vacations, and a lot more. They never cease to impress.
@deadsoon
I found you guys on Spotify some weeks ago and I am extremely impressed by this! I'm sharing the song like crazy because I want everyone to listen to it. The delivery is on point and it pulls you in, and the instrumental is amazing.
@fadeyka9879
A deep sadness takes over me when i think about how underrated yall are. I came from a web comic called HellPark, and they used your song 'great vacation' as an animatic. I checked out your other music because that one was so good, and holy shit. My favourite ones have to be the most upbeat with sombre undertones in them. I really adore 'Welcome to lady hell' and i hella wanna make an animation with it. All your music is just so rich and beautiful. It all feels like it has so much love and care packed into every single word. Im ashamed that i haven't heard it sooner. ❤❤❤
