"Cassiopeia" by Chrissy Chlapecka follows a love that feels both celestial and consuming. The woman is magnetic yet wounded, and the devotion to her becomes a nightly vigil, staying awake to watch her light while dreading the sunrise. Calling her kryptonite captures the paradox: she is the only guide through loneliness, but also the doom that makes daylight feel like dying. The song aches with the need to touch, kiss, and fall into a love that only exists after dark.
Cassiopeia Lyrics by Chrissy Chlapecka
The way she does hair
Celestial stare
Im thinking that it’s time to face the mirror
The way she gives them hell
And pleasures herself
I’m thinking that I wanna do it with her
I see her
She told me
She’s a victim of the chaos that she felt in her life
I need her
She gets me
Cause I’m feeling so alone in the night
So, I get on my knees for
Cassiopeia
She’s the one I yearn for
I always see her
I’ll stay up all night to look at you
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
She’s the only light that guides me through
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
Every afternoon
I’m waiting on you
I know I won’t sleep tonight
I wish that I could choose
A simpler doom
But, baby, you’re kryptonite
I see her
She told me
She’s a victim of the chaos that she felt in her life
I need her
She gets me
I don’t wanna be alone in the night
So, I get on my knees for
Cassiopeia
She’s the one I yearn for
I always see her
I’ll stay up all night to look at you
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
She’s the only light that guides me through
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
Into the night
Oh, into the night
Oh I see her
Every night
Oh, every night
Oh I need her
Follow the light
Oh, follow the light
Oh
Oh
When the suns rising
I feel myself dying
I’ll always need her
My Cassiopeia
When the suns rising
I feel myself dying
I’ll always need her
My Cassiopeia
So, I get on my knees for
Cassiopeia
She’s the one I yearn for
I always see her
I’ll stay up all night to look at you
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
She’s the only light that guides me through
(I wanna touch, fall in love, I wanna kiss her)
Into the night
Oh, into the night
Oh I see her
Every night
Oh, every night
Oh I need her
Follow the light
Oh, follow the light
Oh
Into the night
Oh, into the night
Oh I see her
Every night
Oh, every night
Oh I need her
Follow the light
Oh, follow the light
Oh
