Sunsets on Mars

[Verse 1]
Same sunset, different sky,  
Different world, same guy,  
My heart burns, my soul yearns,  
For a place where something turns,  

For the bliss of new scenery,  
A fresh perspective to kiss me,  
If I left, would you even care?  
Or just breathe the same old air?

[Pre-Chorus]
So I sit here on this bonnet, staring up,  
Counting constellations I don’t trust,  
Let my restless mind just wander far,  
To a place beyond these passing cars…

[chorus]
What do sunsets look like on Mars?  
Are they softer, are they ours?  
Do they fade like broken hearts,  
Or burn brighter in the dark?  

Would I feel the same as I are,  
Just a ghost beneath new stars?  
Different world, but just because—  
Would I still be me on Mars?

[Verse 2]
Are there troubles up on Mars?  
Between flying cars and space bars,  
Are there struggles dressed in gold,  
Or the same stories retold?  

Funky drinks and neon lights,  
Interstellar lonely nights,  
Do emotions still run deep,  
Or do aliens never weep?

[Pre Chorus]
Red dust dancing in the glow,  
Two blue sunsets sinking slow,  
Shadows stretching twice as far,  
Still don’t know who we are…

[chorus]
What do sunsets look like on Mars?  
Are they softer, are they ours?  
Do they fade like broken hearts,  
Or burn brighter in the dark?  

Would I feel the same as I are,  
Just a ghost beneath new stars?  
Different world, but just because—  
Would I still be me on Mars?

[bridge stripped back, emotional peak]
Maybe distance doesn’t change,  
All the things I can’t escape,  
Miles away or where you are,  
I still carry who we are,  

Maybe planets don’t erase,  
All the thoughts I couldn’t face,  
If I ran that far away—  
Would I just feel the same?

[Final Chorus, emotional resolution lift]
What do sunsets look like on Mars?  
Maybe they’re just where we are,  
Same old heart, different stars,  
Still in search of who we are,  

If I’m lost here where I stand,  
Would I change on distant land?  
Different world won’t go that far—  
If I’m still me… on Mars.

Dream pop, very soft whispery male vocal, airy and distant. Heavy reverb guitar, minimal drums, warm pads.
