Lyrics
[128 BPM | F minor | 4/4 | Deep male lead | ª = muted wah-guitar, never sung] [INTRO - tape hiss, lo-fi drum loop, filtered house kick] [Full signature muted wah-guitar motif] ª ªªªª ª ªª ª ª ªªªª ª ªª ª ª ªªªª ª ªª ª ª ªªªª ª ª ªªª ª ªªª [Electric violin slides; distant bike-horn sample; dirty bass approaches] (uh uh uh uh) (Yeah!) [VERSE 1 - close, dry, deep male] No map, no road, We let the starlight show. One turn, one ride, The whole sky opens wide. [PRE-CHORUS - bass filtered, pads rising] Float away, float away, Let the low end lead the way. Float away, float away, We don't need a place to stay. [CHORUS - full dirty-house drop; distorted rolling bass] Star drifters, star drifters, We go, we go, we go. Star drifters, star drifters, So low, so low, so low. Star drifters, star drifters, We move, we move, we move. All night, all night, We're drifting through the stars. [POST-CHORUS - relaxing hook, reverb voice] (ahhhhh... ahhhhh...) (ooohhhhh...) Star drifters... drifters... We go, we go. [INSTRUMENTAL - 16 bars; driving four-on-the-floor, violin chops, glitch synth] [Metallic hits, gritty sub-bass, playful bike-horn hit on the last offbeat] [VERSE 2 - low, rhythmic and minimal] No ground, no line, Our pulse becomes the time. One spark, one flight, We turn the dark to light. [PRE-CHORUS - drums and filtered bass build] Float away, float away, Let the low end lead the way. Float away, float away, We don't need a place to stay. [CHORUS - harder bass, wider drums] Star drifters, star drifters, We go, we go, we go. Star drifters, star drifters, So low, so low, so low. Star drifters, star drifters, We move, we move, we move. All night, all night, We're drifting through the stars. [BREAKDOWN - drums cut; vinyl rewind; low-pass electric violin] [Rewind texture, not vocals: ꘠꘡꘠꘡ ꘢꘣꘢꘣] (uhhh... uhhhh...) Turn me on (like that). [BRIDGE - whispered deep male, pulsing sub] Take me far, take me far, Past the last familiar star. Take me far, take me far, No return and no radar. [BUILD - kick rises, robotic chops, accelerating fills] Star... drifters... Star... drifters... (Yeah!) [One beat of silence] [FINAL CHORUS - 32-bar peak drop; gritty bass and soaring electric violin] Star drifters, star drifters, We go, we go, we go. Star drifters, star drifters, So low, so low, so low. Star drifters, star drifters, We move, we move, we move. All night, all night, We're drifting through the stars. Star drifters, star drifters, We go, we go, we go. Star drifters, star drifters, We move, we move, we move. [OUTRO - bass and drums filter down; tape hiss returns] Star drifters... We go, we go... (oooooooh...) [Last violin harmonic; one distant beacon pulse]
