Mile High rock n' rollers FAST EDDY's “To The Stars” is a story, a report of the nature of humanity and its emotional intricacies as they relate to the larger problem of the destructive mess we’ve made out of the madness. A darker than usual display of a dismal look at where we came from and where we are going. As we work our way through our menial trials and tribulations, relationships and dead end jobs, do we find solace in crime? In religion? Maybe it’s time to unplug all the lights, and turn our attention back to the stars, to discover what we’ve been missing all along.

Steppin’ Stone - The song is about the futility of the future of humanity, in a world we have neglected to care for responsibly. We hold out our last hopes to moving into space as our biggest plan B, rather than fixing what we have here. Trading a second hand planet for a trip to Mars.
Lucky Strike - (or "Bad Advise" as it was originally titled) is an ode to self growth. Not with a constructive outlet, but rather breaking out from the oppressive nine to five by pursuing the dream of the American outlaw. Ditch your boring office job and rob a bank every once in awhile, loosen up.
In Too Deep - When you’re beyond ready to leave, and you’re stuck in a cage you built for yourself, when do you know when it’s time to go? Sometimes prying yourself away from a partner feels like clawing yourself out of the deep end of an empty pool.
Lost Child - What does it mean to be lost? Sometimes being lost is the closest thing to feeling at home. When you’re in those nowhere parts of town, maybe it’s best to trust the lost ones to take you home.
The Rapture - Salvation is for sale and fear is the bait. Bow down to your lord and empty your pocket books, lest you miss your chance at redemption. Where and to whom does all of that money go?
No More Neon Lights - What would happen if we just turned off the lights, put away our phones, shut off the noise.... if only for a day? Nobody alive in the “civilized world” knows. Maybe it’s time to power down and light the candles, maybe we’ll be able to see the stars. The very place we’re planning to run to after we bleed the life from this world.
Spirit Commander - A raucous romp on the nature of fear peddling spiritual leaders. Selling the prospect of enlightenment, while disguising their overwhelming hubris. Don’t get it wrong, they’re not your friends, they’re your commanders.
Grey Day - There’s no where else to go but forward and forward now ends in destruction. The forest is burning down, but in the wake of the ashes there will always be a promise of hope sprouting from the ground.
