Track Insight / Lyrics
You float in vacuum, Quercus hull
No soil to hold your dormant root
The hangar hums a lullaby dull
Where gravity forgot its route
Orbital driftwood, holding the line
Orbital driftwood, frozen in time
No water here to swell your grain
Only starlight on your weathered plane
Your xylem carries vacuum now
Where sap once rose in vessels tight
The pizzicato strings avow
A baroque dance for wood by night
Orbital driftwood, holding the line
Orbital driftwood, frozen in time
No water here to swell your grain
Only starlight on your weathered plane
Salix weeps in pressurized air
Her branches brushed by robotic arm
No river bends to cradle there
Just orbital mechanics' charm
Orbital driftwood, holding the line
Orbital driftwood, frozen in time
No water here to swell your grain
Only starlight on your weathered plane
Pinus knots hold memory of wind
The modular synths begin
Photosynthesis paused in dark
To map the rings upon your bark
Orbital driftwood, holding the line
Orbital driftwood, frozen in time
No water here to swell your grain
Only starlight on your weathered plane
Wood remembers water, always
Orbital driftwood, waiting still
