Coloratura lyrics

Coloratura1.

We fell in through the clouds

and everyone before us is there welcoming us now.

It's the end of death and doubt,

and loneliness is out.

Coloratura,

the place we dreamed about.

The melodies inside yourself and love come pouring out,

and everyone's allowed.

We're feathered by the crowd.

And up there in the heavens,

Galileo2 and those pining for the moon

know it's a slow burn.

Through Pioneer3 and Helix4,

'Oumuamua5, Heliopause6 and Neptune7

we're a slow-burning tune.

But we'll get there, so for now

in this crazy world, I do,

I just want you.

In the end, it's all about

the love you're sending out.

And up there in the heavens,

the explorers who've gathered all by balloon

saw the world turn

through Voyager8, Callisto9, Calliope10, Betelgeuse11,

the Neon Moons12.

We're a slow-burning tune

but we'll touch down soon,

so will you

and in this crazy world, I do,

I just want you.

And up there in the heavens,

Galileo saw reflections of us too.

Pluribus unum, unus mundus13,

all the satellites imbue

the purple, yellow, green, red, orange and the blue.

Oh, it's a crazy world, it's true.

Sing it out!

Oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh!

Oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh!

And in this crazy world, I do,

I just want.

In this crazy world, it's true,

I just want you.

Poets prophesy up in the blue.

Together, that's how we'll make it through.

1. A musical flourish.2. Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist and engineer, widely recognised now as the "father of observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of the scientific method", and the "father of modern science".3. There's a chance this might refer to the Pioneer programmes, two series of United States lunar and planetary space probes exploration.4. A planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius.5. ʻOumuamua is the first known interstellar object detected passing through the Solar System.6. The heliopause is the theoretical boundary where the Sun's solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium.7. The eighth planet in our Solar System, named after the Roman god of the sea.8. Voyager is a NASA space research programme that started in 1977 with the launch of two missions, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.9. One of the many moons of Jupiter, discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and named after a Greek nymph.10. A large asteroid from the Asteroid Belt named after the Greek Muse of epic poetry.11. Betelgeuse is the tenth-brightest star in the night sky and the second-brightest in the constellation of Orion.12. Also known as the polar night, the Neon Moon is a phenomenon where the nighttime lasts for more than 24 hours. It occurs in the northernmost and southernmost regions of Earth, only inside the polar circles.13. Latin for "Out of many, one, one world".
