anyone who owns the cd can flip to this page in the booklet for the correct lyrics as well as some visual clues, the strange being (not unlike the one on the cover, but appearing more etheral) seen peering over our galaxy. This song seems to be about an extra-dimensional being connecting with our universe (i touch the string though the harp may not sing is refering to this being entering the corporeal realm, interacting with or "touching" the one-dimensional string [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory]) . "still i dig the sky for sun sparks to guide" tells us that this being finds its way through our universe much like we would if we could. as mentioned above the land with the ominous hole is our galaxy (the hole being the black hole at its center). "from the void i am born into wave and particle" is explaining that the being takes a physical form comprised of constantly vibrating particles (as all particles are). "weep no more noble silence usher my way home" the being has silenced the universe, after manifesting physically it has made all matter a part of itself. "line in sand (sands of time.)we are but one cosmic cavalcade we are but one" the metaphysical line of space and time separating us from this being (possibly a sentient omnipresence, as is supported by it being born from "the void" it could exist in a non spacial dimension) is erased. this being seems to have merged our existence with its own, returning to the existential void uncomprehensible to you or i. |
