Lyrics

You're looking at light that left its source
A thousand years ago
(Are the stars already dead?)
You just don't know it yet
The dead star
Still shining in your timeline
Still warm enough to navigate
But it's a flat line
The source extinguished before your coordinates existed
You're steering by a light that has already been dismissed
By physics, by the universe, by truth
But you don't know it yet because the light's still in use
That's every fake around me, radiating heat
From a source that burned itself to ash last century's defeat
Still acting bright
Still drawing in the orbit of the ones who don't know
That they're looking at a corpse
It's dark out here when dead stars understand their nature
But they never do, they just keep shining, see you later
Dead star
Still shining but you're gone
Dead star
Been extinct since way back, son
Dead star
The light's still traveling here
But the source is cold, the truth will reach us in a year
Dead star
I see through what you're casting
Dead star
Your radiation isn't lasting
The universe already knows you're done
Dead star
The light arrives long after what begun
See 'em in the industry, the dead stars in the building
Still cashing on a shine that made their name within
The children of their moment
But the moment's long extinguished
Their coordinates are old, their maps should be relinquished
I don't name 'em, that's beneath what I'm creating
I just let the physics of their obsolescence say it
Dead star isn't disrespect, it's just astronomy
The light will reach you later, that's the truth in front of me
Western Sydney never had a dead star problem
Too real for pretense, when the source died, we would clock 'em
Never navigated by a light we couldn't verify
Dead star energy is why the honest ones survive
What if I become a dead star?
What if I burn so bright right now
That by the time my light reaches the ones who need it
(I'm already cold)
Already extinguished
(And they're steering by a version of me)
That no longer exists
That's the fear beneath the ambition if I'm honest
The bright burn of a moment and in silence I can promise
I'll keep the source alive, keep generating heat
Not just the radiation of a formerly complete
Star burning but the actual ongoing fusion
Of the pressure and the mass, no dead star illusion
Stipman still burning, real-time emission
Not a dead star coasting, that's a different mention
West Sydney in my core, that's the fuel of the reactor
Every bar is fusion, every verse a live factor
Dead stars illuminate the dead ends in the distance
The live ones show the way and that's my whole existence
Dead star
Still shining
But I'm burning in real time
Stipman
The light you're seeing is present tense
