Cassiopeia

Cassiopeia is an intentionally droll and sleepy sung lament of differing travelers viewpoints throughout history, partly inspired by nautical themes, including the Constellation and Greek Mythological character the song is named after. A narrative of loss, forgotten meaning and questioning the reality of the status quo, the song parallels the Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic Church and Modern day America as civilizations defeated by the internalization of simply not caring anymore. Lyrics: I’m a River running near To the banks of a better time my dear Tempestuous Thunder rain Flooding my fondest thoughts again God Damn the damned up thoughts Sinking my ship in tied up knots Churning the harbor door My passage never meets the shore Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray For a bed and a bottle laid away Paused a past on a pretty face Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace Prayers to the pope wont save you now We lived through the glory days An empire defeated by malaise As seasons pass me by We lay forgotten wonder why What were they saying through their teeth We were taught to grin through our grief Facades are meant to fade Living inside the walls we made. Dressed up for a dimmer shade of gray For a bed and a bottle laid away Paused a past on a pretty face Crossed the aisles in Scarlet lace Prayers to the pope won't save you now Won't save you now
