about

Part Of Something New was written on February 15th. I like to imagine situations that are familiar to most people and then taking them to the extreme. Have you ever woken up with a massive headache and not remembering how you got there or why? Well, try waking up from stasis in a different star system!

lyrics

I have no idea what day it is today,
I can’t even recall my name.
My head, it feels so clouded in such a peculiar way,
My body feels kinda lame.

My eyelids weigh a ton, I can barely lift them up,
Not that it matters anyway.
All I see is darkness, how do I make it stop?
How do I keep this weirdness at bay?

”Awakening complete” says an electronic voice,
I cough as I’m gasping for air.
Lots of systems beeping now, I filter out the noise,
Something sticky is in my hair.

What in the world could this be?
And then it dawns on me.
What in the world could this be?
And then it dawns on me.

Suddently the lights come on, everything is white,
My eyes are burning as I close my lids.
It takes a while to adjust, everything is so bright,
”To your station”, the computer bids.

Waking up from stasis would be a shock to most,
I don’t know how it happened to me.
Do I have a function here? Where is my post?
I unstrap and set myself free.

Where is the coffee on this ship?
I have to find it, or I’ll loose my grip.
Where is the coffee on this ship?
I have to find it, or I’ll loose my grip.

It seems I’m only one of many people waking up,
Looks of confusion all around.
Suddenly a speaker system makes a noisy pop,
”Your captain speaking, we’re planet bound.
"Welcome to Tau Ceti, please remain calm,
Shuttles will be dispatching soon.”
I swear I saw at least a few people pinch their arm,
On a screen I saw a foreign moon.

Turns out this is a colony crew.
My memory’s back, now I’m part of something new.
Turns out this is a colony crew.
My memory’s back, now I’m part of something new.
