"Love in the Time of Halloween" is a captivating ballad that transcends space and conventional boundaries. In this Coldplay-inspired track, an alien from Alpha Centauri embarks on an unexpected journey to Earth, arriving during the peculiar festivities of Halloween. Attempting to blend in with the most ironic disguise – his true self – he discovers love in an unexpected place: through the eyes of a girl dressed as a monster. The song elegantly intertwines cosmic marvels with terrestrial traditions, underscoring that love is not limited by distance, not even the vast expanse between stars. Experience this harmonious journey of acceptance, love, and the universe’s unexpected gifts.
lyrics
Flew a thousand light-years, just to be alone,
Alpha Centauri's glow, I used to call home.
Then I landed on your sphere - just a crazy dare,
Dressed up ghouls, and cosmic fools, I’m pretty scared.
Pumpkin glows, Laughter flows, I don't know where I stand,
So I dress up like myself, fit in the best that I can
Love in the time of Halloween,
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.
We’re more than masks in a random scene,,
Love in the time of Halloween.
I saw you across the room, dressed in fangs and fur,
Stranger to my alien eyes, you were just a blur.
I floated over to say "hello," a gamble, yes, I know,
You saw past my silver skin, making, my soul glow
Laughed about the Milky Way, life's so absurd,
A cosmic joke that turns out well, love’s the final word.
Love in the time of Halloween,
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.
We’re more than masks in a random scene,
Love in the time of Halloween.
Now the universe doesn’t seem so vast,
With you by my side, I've found my place at last.
The masks we wear may fool the world, but not our hearts,
In this infinite space, we've found: forever starts.
Love in the time of Halloween,
I’m an alien, you’re my monster queen.
We’re more than masks and costumes seen,
Love in the time of Halloween.
