The expression here is so elegant and beautiful. There is an undercurrent of solidarity with the stars, and resonance with the lonely lights in the sky, that swells up in my heart as I read it. The cool, calm comfort of the stars, so far away, yet always there, just creates just a haunting image. This is a fine example of how a picture may say a thousand words, but a few words can create a thousand impressions.
The last line in that first verse holds so very much, it evokes a flick book of memories as the stars become crystals, sweetened by moments of youth, nights back home spent looking up at the stars. That is almost a title worthy line there ;)
The idea of this endless, timeless thing watching over you, and the image of you looking up, your eyes finding the same seven points in the night sky time after time, it feels like the symmetry of connection felt in the music. The way you blend both projection and reflection creates this blend of wonder and curiosity, your signature provocation managed to sneak in there as i found myself reflecting a little on me as I read this.
The way you ponder the lifetimes witnessed through the stars, and the life that may be up there looking back. The knowledge that from a detached perspective, may seem so obvious, yet to you, from within your own life, seem unknowable, or from your own timeline seem to be taking forever. You create a bond of connection and closeness, where somehow it feels like there is a personal meaning in the stars, and yet at the same time, you bring in an objective sense of wonder.
Maybe you should be trying more poetry!
