Rocket To The Moon (lyrics)

Rolling down the window
I can hear the echo
If I’m sleeping in the planetarium  
I don’t mind

Surfing on a rainbow
Hitchhike through the cosmos 
If I’m eating breakfast on a satellite
I’m alright

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Psychedelic aliens
Cosmic color best friends
They want to crown you ruler of the universe 
And beyond

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

They think I’m a dreaming fool
I don’t really see it though
Or maybe I don’t wanna face it… and
Admit that I’d rather be
In alternate reality
Escaping the gravity maybe
On a rocket to the moon
Rocket to the moon

Why would I wanna stay awake
I could be traveling in space
I still got an empty seat baby
On my rocket to the moon

______________________________________________
here comes the deafening silence
i can hear every clock ticking
wondering if youre even sincere

first a few second than a minute
now im staring at the cieling
wondering if it's something you hear
i think you're stuck inside a moment where you're looking for a meaning
and everybody's been there everybody has that feeling
feels like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

and now i'm pacing in the corner saying go
i know you're feelings
shocked because you thought i would press
for you to change, to reconsider
but i've already been dealing
with knowing we have nothing left

you didn't even get to see me broken in a million pieces
see me on my knees saying hail mary's that this ceases
feels like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

i remember when your eyes gave up
i remember the second of your minds full turn around
when you realized if i left you you have no where to go
i did my best to make it not that way
i did my best to lift you up but you always find a workaround
you're such a coward, it's a cycle and I think that you know
i'm prepared for the emotional violence ya i've already been gearing
up for you to find someone who just doesnt mind dealing
with all of your lazy lies

here comes the defeaning silence i can hear every heart beating
except for fucking yours and now i'm stuck here and im feeling
like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay 
i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

Dropper is comprised of veterans musicians of the New York City scene who have done their fair share of “tours to nowhere”. While much of this album centers around self-reflection, “Waste of Time” addresses the specific frustration that is often felt when faced with the realities of touring on a small scale. It’s okay though, we’re living the dream.

Elephant Castle - the retro-inspired indie rock project from Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist Phil Danyew, formed in late 2019. The first single, “Cool To Be Unhappy,” was released on March 27, 2020 with warm welcome. A fresh take on the break-up ballad, Rolling Stone called the track a "roll-around-in-your-underwear-while-the-sun-seeps-through-the-window song.”

Elephant Castle released four subsequent singles with enthusiastic buzz, and is now back for their first release of 2021. Swirling with frenetic energy against a backdrop of lofty vocals and hypnotic organ, “In Circles” tackles the ordinary yet complex struggle to embrace who you really are. 

Raised in Oceanside, CA, Danyew has been writing and recording music since age 12 after stealing his father’s tape recorder. Growing up listening to 50s and 60s oldies, Elephant Castle is a response to these early influences combined with a love for vintage synths, layered vocals, the dreamy sounds of tape saturation and analog gear.

Danyew spent six years as a touring member of the band Foster the People. He left at the beginning of 2020 to pursue his own music.
