In Kennedy’s sixth installment of his passion project, “Lightspeed” is a very metaphorical song describing his thoughts about life itself. These thoughts about life most likely stem from a girl who he just can’t forget about, no matter how hard he tries, (“Still I wish this tossing and turning would...
[Intro]
I saw a UFO
I saw a UFO outside the crib last night
Heard a knock on my window but I live up 4 flights
A neon purple glow started to shine through the blinds
Next thing that I know everything turned white
[Hook]
I saw a UFO outside the crib last night
Heard a knock on my window, figured that it’s all in my mind
I felt the air get cold and saw the glow of the lights
Next thing that I know I’m all alone in the sky
[Post-hook]
And I wonder while I float by earth
What if life was all rehearsed?
What if day and night reversed?
What if time was just a word?
[Verse 1]
No sleep through the night, 3:45
Flee to the tide like a bee to the hivе
Got the tree for the mind but the drеams come alive
Get a little fatigued up in the city and I find that
When I tend to talk less I learn and when I’m feeling off I just burn
Still I wish this tossing and turning would stop but the thoughts all recur
Shit is really getting sci-fi, swear to god this life is a trip
Saw Elon fly by with a little bit of cash in this ship
I’m rocking tie dye spacesuit when I’m up in this bitch
Gotta get my mind right, slide by, I’m fine
[Hook]
I saw a UFO outside the crib last night
Heard a knock on my window, figured that it’s all in my mind
I felt the air get cold and saw the glow of the lights
Next thing that I know I’m all alone in the sky
[Verse 2]
The sky
Wondering why am I on a planet covered in oceans with 7 moons in the night
Where the wind be so cold, gravity so low
They spoke in some code and time went dumb slow
Damn got a plan to mob the speed of light
But I'm just doing what I can, no shit, I can only try
Well it felt like days, couple thousand light years away
But when I opened my eyes I saw the clock was the same
[Hook]
I saw a UFO outside the crib last night
Heard a knock on my window, I figured that it’s all in my mind
I felt the air get cold and saw the glow of the lights
Next thing that I know I’m all alone in the sky
[Post-hook]
And I wonder while I float by earth
What if life was all rehearsed?
What if day and night reversed?
What if time was just a word?
