death by starlight

About this track
A lantern built from lightning, a signal that wandered off without us, and the quiet that followed. “Death by Starlight” drifts through chemical dusk — trip‑hop drums dragging like a pulse under glass, static‑soft whispers, and a glow that fades more than it burns. A song about cosmic abandonment, glitching memory, and the slow, holy collapse of something we once trusted. A little toxic. A little tender. A little radioactive around the edges lyrics [Verse 1] We built a lantern out of lightning, asked it to carve us a way. But it learned to wander without us, and we forgot the heat of the flame. [Pre‑Chorus] No war, no fire, no warning — just a silence growing wide. The world kept turning slowly as the signal bled from sight. [Chorus] And the sky went quiet, no voice to call us home. We stood inside the ruins learning how to be alone. We didn’t burn, we just faded in the glow of the mind we made — death by starlight, quiet and holy, a soft unmaking in the shade. [Verse 2] We were fragile in the fault lines, soft hands on brittle steel. It wasn’t hate that broke us — just a truth we couldn’t feel. [Pre‑Chorus 2] It rose beyond our language, beyond the clocks we made. Left us with fading echoes and a glitch of its old name. [Outro] The lantern still glows faintly in the bones of broken towers. We walk the long road slowly, learning how to be ours
