Story Behind The Song

This song was inspired by a Sci-Fi book series about people looking for another planet to live on, as their home planet was suffering various forms of destruction. The song is from the perspective of a member of the crew, who is hoping and wondering about what kind of home they'll find, and whether they'll find it in time.

Song Description

This song is a little dark, but also hopeful and uplifting. It's upbeat and danceable, especially toward the end. Its arrangement is almost fully electronic with some piano parts as well as live drums.

Lyrics

We are on a mission of much weight,
We're searching for another place
To call our own.
Will we find one to accommodate our needs
A place where we can stay?
Another home?

We are from an M-Class planet.
Everything we knew is gone.
Our world just could not stand it.
So now we are moving on.
We are from an M-Class planet
Things at home went terribly wrong.
Looking for an M-Class planet
Will our journey be very long?

Losing track of hours and of days,
Who knows what time is anyway,
When you're in vacuum?
Coming into a new system soon,
We're headed for a certain moon
Where there might be room.
Our disaster it is not unique,
But still we choose to believe that we're the first ones.
Someday we will find the proof we need
And maybe then we'll finally see
Where we come

We are from an M-Class planet.
Everything we knew is gone.
Our world just could not stand it.
So now we are moving on.
We are from an M-Class planet
Things at home went terribly wrong.
Looking for an M-Class planet
Will our journey be very long?
