The Architect wakes beneath a ceiling that is not a ceiling, but a dome — black, seamless, impenetrable. Beyond it, there is no morning. The day is manufactured here. The air is clean, sweeter than memory, but wrong. Too close. Too finished.

This city was not built for beauty, but for survival. It has seasons without weather, rain without clouds, tides without an ocean. Every drop of water, every gust of air, is born in the humming belly of the machines that keep the world alive. Above, the wind still exists — somewhere. But here, it is replaced by a low, constant breath, like the lungs of a sleeping giant.

The Architect walks through glass domes where trees bloom forever, where fruit never rots, where rivers loop endlessly over hidden conveyor belts. Children draw pictures of stars they will never see. Lovers stroll under an artificial moon that is always in the right place for the photograph.

He knows the city will not fail soon — the machines are flawless. But he also knows this is not living. Each inhale is a reminder: the oxygen is here… but the sky is gone.

“Oxygen Without Sky” imagines a future where humanity survives in sealed, artificial environments, cut off from the natural world and the open sky. Its imagery of glass domes, programmed dawns, and manufactured air reflects a society that has traded freedom and authenticity for controlled safety, where even rain and seasons are simulations. The song critiques this sterile survival, highlighting how dependence on engineered systems erodes memory, curiosity, and connection to what is real. Beneath its dystopian surface lies a quiet yearning for what has been lost — the wind, the stars, the blackbird’s cry — reminding us that survival without true nature is a hollow kind of life.

📝 Lyrics:

Ask me something, any question
I’ll answer best I can
Cause I don’t want one thing 
To ever be between  
Your heart and where I stand
When I stood by watching, all that wanting
You took me by the hand
And held back nothing, let my walls give in
And fall away like sand

Don’t you ask me when I fell in love
No one answer ever captures all I’m thinking of

It’s the strength and grace within
How you never let me win
It’s candlelight dancing round rooms
It’s the first time that we prayed
It’s the words we’ve yet to say
But I feel them anyway with you

You said you wanted
To learn some songs that
I played back long ago
But now I know you’re heart so
Wrote this simple
Line to take home
Which is anywhere you go

Don’t you ask me when I fell in love
No one answer ever captures all I’m thinking of

It’s the way you pull me close
Stand on your tippy toes
How the lazy Sunday slowly moves
It’s the talking half asleep
It’s the way you kiss my cheek
It’s the angels clear in reach with you

It’s the fire in the rain
It’s the diamond in your ring
It’s the lines you always sing along
It’s your feet up on the dash
It’s the spearmint on your breath 
It’s the drumbeat in my chest, your song
It’s the sunset in your eyes 
It’s the restless morning’s rise
It’s the way I feel tonight with you

When I Fall
