Lyrics:

There was confusion
And there were flames
I had always felt the fire call my name
But this was different
I could taste the fear
And the sweet release
As the end of all drew near
I will never understand why

Why,
They shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole
That I watched my home explode from
The com-link’s open
But there’s no one
Tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live?
Did I just deserve to watch them die

Oh why did I?

In those first hours
No one heard me
Scream at the hateful, cold eternity
And I have been floating
Ever since then
With nobody but the darkness as my friend
And if they had asked me
I wouldn’t have agreed

That it was the right thing when they

Shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod
There was room only for a bed and porthole
That I watched my home explode from
The com-link’s open
But there’s no one
Tuned in on the other side
Why did I deserve to live?
Did I just deserve to watch them die

Oh why did I?

(They shot me off a dying planet
In a tin-sized escape pod…)

Listening and thinking of all the people who had to flee Gaza now suffering from survivors' guilt 💔

[annacoccagoodman]

This whole song is heartbreaking but for some reason the line "the com link's open but there's no one" just always gets me. Like, the people the narrator loved did all they could to save her life because they loved her too, when all she wants is to see them again

[KiwyAMV]

The second part of AURORA's 'mothership'???? Loving this.

[JillianSchuman]

I haven’t been able to get this song out my head ever since I heard it first- such a simply beautiful song.

[alienaadams]

I adore this song. It's so heartbreaking and beautiful, it *feels* like a space song. The final line's change in delivery is so sad.

[Lily-wttu]

As a Ukrainian girl this is how I felt when the war begun.. thank you❤

[jwrs]

This song reflects me a lot especially when it was covid when everything fell apart

[LadyDragonfly]

Its giving a sci fi book vibes and i love it

[floofysoupcat]

this came out on my birthday, and i can’t stop crying. i was already stressed and this just helped me let out the tears. your music and lyrics are pure poetry and i aspire to be able to write like this someday <3

[mbbbits]

Simply mesmerising, thank you so much

[leilaofpaper]

this is exactly kara zor el's origin story and I love it so much

[izzyhaynes]

I am unwell <3 ( stunning visuals on all of them but this one especially)

[astrophynix]

Another title for the 'Sad space tunes' playlist... the playlist specifically for my novel. We love ending at the protagonist being condemned to an existence of eternal solitude upon the empty halls of their spacecraft. Different circumstances from this song... but, inspiration✨

[avryantoinette]

I've been listening to this on repeat and crying and not really knowing why <3

[HeartfireAce]

I cannot wait to see you live in November! This brought me damn near to tears.

[Kleptomaniac.author]

I love this song. It's beautiful and tells a story. We love you Paris! <3

[Patheticmoonheart]

I need a Aurora x Kiki Rockwell x Paris Paloma collab

[XiaoLynn]

This reminds me so much of Rogue One's Jyn Erso

[carterjames]

I literally have an OC who was forced to leave his dying home planet because he was the only one with all the knowledge of his people's culture. His people knew if anyone could re-establish their culture and people somewhere else, it was him. But he refused to leave and so they had to sedate him, program the ship, and send him off with his two brothers while the planet went up in flames. He found a new place where they were happily accepted, but he missed his home. He missed his people. He missed his gods and their temples, but human colonization destroyed it all.

Sending you my therapy bill after this one ❤
