Cover art for Aeon lyrics by Antony and the Johnsons

while i'm at it, it really feels to me like a father/son back and forth, and thinking of it that way makes it really poignant to me. because the father, at death, says that eternity will repair him, but at the end (on the album version anyways) antony sings "oh no, we don't know nothin daddy but this world", a sort of really sad opposite viewpoint on death and eternity.
