Track 2 · Orion's Arc

Closer to the Light

Between Echoes · 4:57

The pull that opened in the first song grows stronger. The veil between Orion and the something-more begins to thin, and curiosity starts to mix with fear.

About This Song

"Closer to the Light" is the first real lesson of the journey. The distant longing of the opening becomes a felt gravity, drawing Orion toward a source he can sense but not yet see. It is a yearning reach toward understanding.

The song lives in the tension between wonder and unease. Something is pulling him closer, and part of him wants to run toward it while another part braces against how much it might change him.

From Edward

This one is about the moment curiosity turns into a pull you can feel in your chest, when the thing you are drawn to starts drawing back.

"You pull me closer to the light."

Lyrics

Verse 1

I've been running through the quiet of a thousand skies,
Chasing every little shimmer just to feel alive.
Didn't know what I was missing till the moment came,
When the universe was whispering your name.

Pre-Chorus

Something in the dark turned bright,
Pulled me forward, changed my sight.
Now I'm waking up inside
A brand‐new kind of light.

Chorus

You pull me closer to the light,
Like a sunrise breaking through.
Every shadow in my life
Fades the moment I see you.
I was drifting out of time
Till you turned my world upright.
Now I'm burning, burning bright—
You pull me closer to the light.

Verse 2

I was moving like a comet with no place to land,
Till your voice became the gravity beneath my hands.
Every stride is getting clearer as the stars align,
Feels like I've been waiting for this all my life.

Pre-Chorus

Something in the dark turned bright,
Pulled me forward, changed my sight.
Now I'm waking up inside
A brand‐new kind of light.

Chorus

You pull me closer to the light,
Like a sunrise breaking through.
Every shadow in my life
Fades the moment I see you.
I was drifting out of time
Till you turned my world upright.
Now I'm burning, burning bright—
You pull me closer to the light.

Bridge

If the worlds collide,
I won't lose my stride.
I'll follow where you shine
Every single time.

Final Chorus

You pull me closer to the light,
Like a sunrise breaking through.
Every shadow in my life
Fades the moment I see you.
I was drifting out of time
Till you turned my world upright.
Now I'm burning, burning bright—
You pull me closer to the light.
