contemplating man's hubris
exploring the multiverses sound by sound and word by word
Story behind the song
story behind the song: while researching supervillains and taking in the news, uncleanable oil spills, losing a jumbo jet (over one of most heavily surveilled areas of world lol, great confidence in early warning systems here) and the infinite number of lesser transgressions we do to the world every day. apologies to gaia, we know what we do, we don't stop, so ergo, we like it this way.
Lyrics
saw her again in my minds eye
laughing as our world passes her by
keeping her counsel, biding her time
'til we understand her grander designs
call it magic, call it science
can't have either without some regrets
no one really wants to think things right thru
more money made just doing to do
call on the gods, call the profits
some messes don't clean up regardless the cash
if we're so smart explain this to me
why we poison it all, then cry destiny
saw her again in my minds eye
laughing at us as we slowly die
survival of the fittest, what do we prove
in the long run we play to lose
saw her again in my minds eye
laughing as our world passes her by
saw her again...
