The Electric Sons Lyrics

Found a spell
You discovered something magical or transformative.

Left your feet to float around the world
You traveled around the world aimlessly, without a plan or destination.

To see the things you need to see
You needed to see something specific, but didn't know what it was until you found it.

Now you're gone
You left without saying goodbye or giving a reason for your departure.

Left me staring at the clouds from the ground
I'm left behind, looking up at the sky, feeling small and insignificant compared to your journey.

Are you ever coming down?
I wonder if you'll ever return home or if you'll continue to wander forever.

Off you go
You're leaving, moving on to a new place or experience.

On your own
You're traveling alone, without companions or support from others.

Somewhere no one knows
You're going to a place that is unknown and unfamiliar to others.

You could stay
You have the option to stay, but you choose not to.

But you won't
You're committed to moving forward rather than staying in one place.

All the lights below
The lights on the ground, representing the people or places you've left behind, seem insignificant from your lofty viewpoint.

Are nothing but an orange glow
Those lights are dim, unimportant, and fade into the background for you now.

And all the lights you see,
The new lights you encounter on your journey.

Are never gonna take you home
No matter where you go or what you do, you'll never be able to return to the place you started from.

I feel you near
I sense your presence or influence, even though you're not physically here.

All around I hear you now, in all your sound
You're present in every aspect of my life and I can't escape you.

Now finally you're found
You found what you were looking for, whether it was a place or a sense of purpose.

And we are here
I and others who are still in the same place you left, but have not been on the same journey as you.

But you are always ever there, everywhere
You're constantly present despite not being physically here, and are involved in every aspect of my life.

Now you're rowing out
You're moving away, on a boat or some other means of transportation.

And all around with no shore to rest your bones
You're surrounded by water on all sides, with no visible destination or place to settle down.

But I won't sleep until you're home
I'm worried about you and won't be able to relax until you've returned safely.

And all the sounds you hear
The noises and experiences you encounter on your journey.

Are coming in the lowest tones
Those sounds are fading and becoming less important to you, as you move further away.

And everything you see is never gonna make you whole
No matter how far you travel or what you encounter along the way, you won't be able to fill the void or fix what's missing inside of you.
