about

2nd ever holiday single by Calotype. Written December 21st, 2020.

lyrics

Looking aimlessly through the southwestern sky
but the clouds will not comply
I thought this year could at least give me that
but it couldn’t, I don’t know why

Just want to see something that nobody has seen
Like Galileo or Leonardo di Vinci
but I guess I’ll have to accept that it just wasn’t meant to be

But anyway happy solstice and merry christmas
We can tell ourselves stories, but it’s gonna be different
It’s always been logical to travel long distances for the comfort of your home

Trying to make the best of the shortest day
lately hours all seem the same anyway
I just wanted the spectacle to of it to burn into my mind

Something wonderful that never collapses
something determined by the tilt of an axis
they appear so close together while they’re millions of miles apart

But anyway happy solstice and merry christmas
We can tell ourselves stories, but it’s gonna be different
It’s always been logical to travel long distances for the comfort of your home

But anyway happy solstice and merry christmas
We can tell ourselves stories, but it’s gonna be different
We can stay separated, stay isolated
but we break out our sparklers as the snow dissipates and
it’s hard to stay angry when Saturn and Jupiter line up so perfectly
