Surf 06:06
Solar shimmers over setting sea. Sitting silent, sandy bottoms, you and me. Closing solstice kissing bronzing skin. Eventides flip as the end begins. Swell subsiding, fingers intertwined. Stars aligning, future undefined. Your hair is carried in the coastal breeze. Don’t be afraid, embrace the final jubilee. We’re gonna surf the singularity. Until we’re swallowed by obscurity. Sail through collapsing gravity into quantum-field clarity. Your eyes are iridescent in reflecting flares of ultraviolet: radiating. Moisture nebulas begin fragmenting. Your smile stunning, you're blushing. Embrace me in the apprehensive ending anguish-quandary. Recline and hark the score line, baby. Trumpets sounding past the galaxies. We’re gonna surf the singularity until we’re swallowed by obscurity. We'll sail through collapsing gravity into quantum-field clarity. We’re laying on the Shores of Supernova Skyline Waiting for ambrosia-horizon paradise. We’re gonna surf the singularity until we’re swallowed by obscurity. We'll sail through collapsing gravity into quantum-field clarity. WAVES ARE CRASHING: CATACLYSMIC QUAKING, MY DEAR. SKY IS SLICED BY COMETS SCORCHING THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE. COSMOS CRACKING, SHATTER THE OBSERVABLE VENEER. YOU ARE SHAKING, GRAB MY HAND AND WE’LL GO WITH NO FEAR. We’re laying on the Shores of Supernova Skyline Waiting for ambrosia-horizon paradise.

Stardust 04:51
We’re lying across the starless reaches of the deep. Defying the laws that bind us to reality. Colliding like neutron stars we succumb to syncope: now driving down scenic skyways as titans lose their leaves. Blurring from the speed: accelerated cadence my heart is racing. Captivating scenery, like fire burning everything— she sears me endlessly. So whisper sweet nothings as we fall from stellar trees. We shiver like lovers kissed by frosted vacancy. A flicker in twilight to ignite our frozen dream: deliver the final blaze like September in the western Rockies. Blurring from the speed: accelerated cadence my heart is racing. Captivating scenery, like fire burning everything— she sears me endlessly. Cause we’re lost in stardust, cruising through the seams of certainty. Across this cosmic autumn, skimming over sheets of galaxy. We could go, but you don’t want to come.

about

Cosmic Autumn is a narrative told from the perspective of one lover addressing the other amidst the collapse of the universe, exploring themes of relationships and isolation and eternity in the face of ominous uncertainty.

Surf opens with peaceful promises and sweet sentiments on a beach setting as the apocalypse descends, the reminder is repeated that life is temporary, and whether the end comes by cataclysm or cancer, sharing that time is what brings significance.

Stardust concentrates the idea of what endings feel like into the vision of lovers on an autumn drive through the limitless unknown of eternity as their current reality ends. They plunge through galaxies that ignite into the reds, oranges, and yellows of a Rocky Mountain highway in September.

And this is how we see the tumultuous adventure of intimacy: meeting at the crossroads of continuation into the unknown or complete cessation of existence.
