Lyrics
[Intro]
Lights
Fading quickly
Blue
Turned amethyst
All that’s left now
Departed,
Changed course and I have left.
[Verse 1]
I can’t make sense,
Where have I ended up?
I’ve got to get away
From all the things you’ve said.
I’ll turn around,
Break all our monuments.
I’d shatter worlds before
I say I’m yours again.
[Chorus]
Break away
And watch the colors redshift.
Velocity,
It’s breaking past your orbit.
The stars are crimson in my eyes,
A million light years as crows fly.
I’ll watch you fade,
And I’ll embrace the redshift.
REDSHIFT!
[Verse 2]
Where am I now?
Why do I hear your voice?
It calcifies the thoughts,
I thought I’d left behind.
I’ll turn around
And forget all the memories.
Your face will fade with time
And I’ll begin again.
[Bridge 1]
THE STARS TURN RED
THE BLACK HOLES DIE
THE MOONLIGHT DARKENS IN YOUR EYES
WHAT ONCE WAS BLUE
HAS NOW TURNED BLACK
I’LL NEVER BE YOURS AGAIN
[Chorus]
Break away
And watch the colors redshift.
Velocity,
It’s breaking past your orbit.
The stars are crimson in my eyes,
A million light years as crows fly.
I’ll watch you fade,
And I’ll embrace the redshift.
REDSHIFT!
REDSHIFT!
[Bridge 2]
I look up in this brand new place,
A world that I don’t recognize.
I can feel the Doppler glow,
Hear the broken static,
See the violet lights.
The spectrum’s stretched all recognition,
Black is white and red is blue,
Now I stand here in the sunset,
A brand new world without you.
WITHOUT YOU!
QUIET WITHOUT YOU!
[Chorus]
Break away
And watch the colors redshift.
Velocity,
It’s breaking past your orbit.
The stars are crimson in my eyes,
A million light years as crows fly.
I’ll watch you fade,
And I’ll embrace the redshift.
REDSHIFT!
[Verse 3]
I still can hear,
The echoes of your voice.
Even though I’m standing,
I’m galaxies away.
I’ll turn around.
I hope that I don’t see you.
I’ve gone the speed of light
To carry me away.
[Chorus]
Break away
And watch the colors redshift.
Velocity,
It’s breaking past your orbit.
The stars are crimson in my eyes,
A million light years as crows fly.
I’ll watch you fade,
And I’ll embrace the redshift.
REDSHIFT!
[Bridge 3]
ALL LIGHTS BLUR
ONLY THOUGHT REMAINS
YOUR VOICE ECHOES
IN THE COSMIC RAYS
BREAKING FREE
FLYING PAST YOUR ORBIT
I'LL BREAK AWAY
AND I'LL EMBRACE THE REDSHIFT
REDSHIFT!
REDSHIFT!
REDSHIFT!
REDSHIFT!
