about

This song is about astronauts reporting that they see specks of light in their eyes when they are in space due to being bombarded by high energy particles.

lyrics

One of the hazards
of being exposed
is being a target.
Cells.
Particles
of high energy.
It dances.
Dances.
In your retina
flash the random lights.
When you close your eyes,
random nuclei.

Take a second.
Turn off the lights.
Close your eyelids
and watch
for specks
of green and violet.

Watershed
by The Silence Kit

Aggressive when necessary, but showing a control and self-awareness often missed in music that allows the song to penetrate to a more personal level for the listener. The Azure Sea
