This song strikes me as a very intimate bedroom conversation, as well as perfect illustration of humanist values.
The protagonist's lover is distracted by thoughts of human fallibility. The protagonist responds: the question is meaningless in this moment of embrace. This often hostile world <i>will</i> end and us long before it. There will someday be no evidence humanity ever existed. Our hundreds of thousands of years of collective cruelty and our individual momentary snatches of bliss are equally significant to the universe, and to time, so let's make this particular moment seem an eternity.
