No matter how complicated life is, no matter all the excess fame and fortune/whatever, we all end up leaving this earth... by leaving the mark of love on the world, we will always remain in some way....

Life, broken down in to its most simplistic state

Life, death, love, lust. Regardless... We are nothing but conscious animals, fated to return to the earth from which we came from.

I feel this song very deeply... Great track imo

consecrated - solemnly dedicated to or set apart for a high purpose

"My secret wish in this sacred place Is to relinquish needs The great constant is perpetual change So when we leave, as we know we will Some of us remains, consecrated and unchanged..."

His inner core says to give up all attachment because nothing is forever, so that when he dies or we die all that is left within is solely pure love.

sacrosanct - absolute: not capable of being violated or infringed, or having a most holy or sacred character

"From blood we came to ash we return again These carbon hearts, and terrestrial hopes From our first goodbye to the last hello Pray we carve our paths from God's sacrosanct..."

The from our first goodbye line is an interesting way of saying we are born and die in someones presence. Then he suggests you pray for us that we carve our life out of God's unchanging pureness. in other words pray for forgiveness.

"The love we crave that binds, bends but never change feeds faith in faith that I search for in everything..."

The love that is so beautiful is found in everything hence the feeding faith in faith. a perfect circle for him

What a great, atmospheric song.

For me, the Space, and the huge and eternal (and yet tiny and transient) ball that is our planet - are closely linked to our selves – to our skins, cells, blood, eyes. When I contemplate (as I often do) the “bigger picture”, it always unfolds in my mind as an enormous fractal, from quarks up to molecules and cells and brain processes and birds and societies up to the huge forests and cities – all is a part of a single system. Very finely tuned, and infinitely, painfully beautiful. So the radio talk with Atlantis in the beginning makes a lot of sense here. This small endeavor – space exploration – is the single most important thing that our species can do. Because what else matters, actually? And to do this right, we need peace and collaboration. And peace and collaboration bring with them freedom and love and music – and yes, sex and caring and love to all aspects and forms of life; and ultimate synergy between a spirit (emotion) and mind (technology) and body (health and senses).

So, this song kind of brings it all together; by talking about “animals” (which we are) in the most sublime terms (sacred, sacrosanct, hopeful, conscious) – it highlights the paradox that underlies it all – that we are at once “just” animals, and at the same time we are conscious, and that we cherish beauty (“pretty”). Really, deep down it’s not a paradox at all. Being an animal, contrary to how the word MIGHT be perceived, is NOT actually humiliating in any way. This song is about this connection of all levels.

Does anyone know what they are talking about in the beginning?

Every time I here this song I wonder what they are saying.
