Lyrics
All that's expected of me
I can't perform much longer
There aren't enough valentines in my decorated box
The pressure I am under
To brim my name in thunder
Has left me counting second hands of ticking clocks
My serotonin is bump
My melatonin and the dopamine is taking over me
If I must wear these britches
Then you must heal my stitches
I can't keep
This boat afloat on such erratic seas
Chorus
At the moment
I surrendered
Your heart it opened up for me
A vast display of beauty and splendor
Glory and wisdom in this
Solar system
Solar System
The jolly beat has got my feet to move and dace
To jump around and prance to a different type of tune
The sounds of sadness have changed to sounds of gladness
Ever since I opened up the secrets of my heart to you
You gave me love for the broken cynics
And a passion for your broken saints
And you've opened up my eyes to see the colors float like
Bubbles and burst in the air like splatter paint
Chorus
Beyond the distant sea
A foreign galaxy
My troubles turn to fuel and ignite a starry sky
And these mistakes i've made
You say no matter its the latter
That reveal such a bright and honored light
Beyond the distant sea
A foreign galaxy
My troubles turn to fuel and ignite a starry sky
And these mistakes i've made
You say no matter its the latter
That reveal such a bright and honored light
At the moment I surrender
Yes your heart it opened up for me
A vast display of beauty and splendor
Glory and wisdom in this
Solar System

Meaning & Inspiration
Solar System portrays surrender as the turning point from strain and self-reliance toward wonder. Its opening images describe a person exhausted by expectations, unstable emotions, and the effort of keeping life afloat. When surrender arrives, the language expands into beauty, splendor, glory, and wisdom. The cosmic imagery gives the change a broad scale while keeping the confession personal: weakness is met by a love able to heal and sustain.
The later verses connect that renewed vision with compassion for broken people and a different way of understanding failure. Troubles become fuel beneath a starry sky, and past mistakes no longer have the final word. This movement may recall the biblical witness that creation displays divine glory and that grace is sufficient amid weakness. Rather than celebrating achievement, the song locates hope in openness before God, restored gladness, and the ability to see beauty beyond pressure.
