Some notes off the top of my head, as an evolutionary biologist. I must say I enjoy this song very much as a card-carrying #ScienceIsMetal enthusiast... "The Great Dark Between The Stars": well, yeah, it means whatever you want it to mean ;] "aye-aye": a primate "floating pale blue ark": well, Earth "Shrew that survived": reference to small mammals in Mesozoic "Tiktaalik take her first walk": "transitional form" between fish and amphibians, a lot like a fish with legs, discovered in Canada, one of the first terrestrial (partially terrestrial) vertebrate organisms "Panthalassa": the counterpart to Pangaea. When there was 1 supercontinent, there was also 1 superocean! "eukaryote... the very first one": probably referring to LECA, last eukaryotic common ancestor. "the one we'll soon become" could refer to evolution in the future or in the past. |

| @[RoyBoy432:18945] We are afraid of nature and rely on technology, but perhaps it ought to be the other way around. | |
| Ensiferum – Treacherous Gods Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| This song makes me think of the "Gods" of technology that we are enslaved to, and Ensiferum posits a yearning to break those chains by spending a night, a week, a winter, in the cold Northern wilderness. When we forsake our heritage and our land, then those gods have brought us misfortune. | |
