  "story": "I imagined arriving on a world long after the people who built it were gone. The cities are still there, though the planet has begun to reclaim them. Towers rust. Roads turn into rivers. And above it all, the satellites still circle quietly, like witnesses that never left. The song is really about that moment of realizing a civilization existed here and left traces that still speak.",
