Galactic Curiosities · 3:30 · Pop

This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

The cabinet of stories that spill over.

Galactic Curiosities opens the drawers of Riva Glow’s imaginary shop. Hologram Hearts, The Dream Merchant’s Shop, and The Shadow Puppeteer give faces to objects, trades, and desires that escape everyday life. The word galactic signals boundless curiosity here rather than a scientific journey.

The thirteen tracks offer a gallery of characters, from the collector to secret societies. In the label’s story, Riva offers them a light so that their strangeness can be considered with care. Every listener remains free to make a different story of them.

The Dream Merchant’s Shop offers a doorway; Hologram Hearts opens the complete journey.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Moths dance to the chandelier's glow
In the ballroom no one knows

Professor Pins his specimens
Behind the glass where beauty ends
Luna moths in silver frames
He whispers all their secret names
Midnight guests with velvet wings
To his lonely waltz they cling

One-two-three, around they go
In the lamplight's amber show
Dancing secrets high and low

At the moth collector's ball
Where the paper thin and small
Find their wings again tonight
In the artificial light
Dancing till the morning's call

Faded curtains, peeling gold
Hide the stories left untold
Butterfly nets hang like art
In the gallery of his heart

Does he dream of flying too?
When the moths dance, me and you
Pinned forever to the wall
But tonight we're free to fall

At the moth collector's ball
Where we're beautiful and small
Dust to dust and wing to wing
In the dance of everything
Till the collector's final call

When the candle finally dies
"Do moths dream of butterflies?"
