[Intro] [Soft Bubble Synths] [Airy Vocal] No sun on my window, No sky in my room, Still I kept a little starlight Somewhere no one could remove. [Verse 1] I grew up under towers, Where the engines never sleep, Counting lights above the bridges, Dreaming higher than my street. Grey suit, pink hair, One bag by my side, I learned how to look ordinary With a galaxy inside. Every sign said keep your head down, Every door said wait your turn, But I kept a tiny color No amount of steel could burn. [Pre-Chorus] Then one song became a doorway, One small spark became a view, All those ceilings I had lived beneath Could not tell me what to do. [Chorus] Up, up, up from Hyppodon, Past the iron, past the dawn, I carried every little dream They told me not to put on. Pink, pink, pink against the blue, Look how far a wish can move, I didn't leave my heart below, I brought Hyppodon up too. Up, up, up, I'm still the one Who learned to glow without a sun. If the sky was waiting all along, I was coming, Hyppodon. [Post-Chorus] [Layered Candy Vocals] Higher, higher, Sweet little satellite. Higher, higher, I made my own light. [Verse 2] First time rain touched my antennae, I stood laughing in the street. First real wind caught all my pink hair, Nearly lifted off my feet. Then the sunset turned to candy, Rose and gold across the air, I had seen a thousand pictures, None of them had put me there. Now the towers shine around me, Open heavens overhead, But I still hear the lower city In the rhythm of my steps. [Pre-Chorus] Every bridge and every guard light, Every train beneath the stone, Made the girl who crossed that border, So I never climbed alone. [Chorus] Up, up, up from Hyppodon, Past the iron, past the dawn, I carried every little dream They told me not to put on. Pink, pink, pink against the blue, Look how far a wish can move, I didn't leave my heart below, I brought Hyppodon up too. Up, up, up, I'm still the one Who learned to glow without a sun. If the sky was waiting all along, I was coming, Hyppodon. [Bridge] [Beat Drops] [Soft Intimate Vocal] Mama said, keep climbing. Papa said, find your way. I thought the sky was somewhere For another life, someday. Now I've got stars above me, But the truth is something new: Getting higher never means Forgetting what carried you. [Build] [Rising Synths] So turn the lights up brighter, Let the whole skyline respond. If a girl can bloom beneath the world, Imagine what comes beyond. [Final Chorus] [Key Change] [Anthemic Candy-Pop Lift] Up, up, up from Hyppodon, Past the iron, past the dawn, Now I'm wearing every color I was scared to put on. Pink, pink, pink across the blue, Every dream is coming through, I didn't leave my heart below, I brought Hyppodon up too. Up, up, up, and here I am, Pink horizon in my hands. From the city underneath the city To the stars above Coruscan. Up, up, up, the night is gone, But I still know where I'm from. I learned to shine without the sky. Now look at me beneath one. [Outro] [Soft Sparkling Synth Fade] Higher, higher, But never gone. Pink little light From Hyppodon.
