about

An exploration of destiny, coming together, and falling apart. A song about political or personal divisions, and attempts to heal.

Much of the imagery in the song was Inspired by "Companion Species", a collaborative artwork by Marie Watts:

lyrics

It was destiny, she said
It was written in the sky
It was written in our eyes

Now in midsummer sky
exoplanets orbit alone
meteors fall like bloody stars

It’s an American surprise that we
ever thought that we could get along
proudly we were of the ones that tried
but now the melody, it’s just all wrong

Father, father, anti father
mother, daughter antimatter
gender turns to anti gender
defend our love or we surrender

It’s an American surprise that we
ever thought that we could get along
proudly we were of the ones that tried
but now the melody, it’s just all wrong

She said it was destiny
manifest in our eyes
meteors fell like bloody stars
atoms fracture
knowns became unknown

It’s an American surprise that we
ever thought that we could get along
proudly we were of the ones that tried
but now the melody, it’s just all wrong

American surprise
how do we end it
destiny in our eyes
so we surrender now
