This song is like a very short and dark timeline of mankind's past, present and future.
In the past, when the universe was "Much too big to see", humans didn't know much about the universe hence "Limitations of human understanding". Not long ago, we developed tools to "See past our eyes" in the dark vastness of space- "Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens".
In the present all life is at risk (living only on one planet), and must live through this time of tribulation- "We must go on through the never"
In the future, when we are able and ready to live on or colonize other planets, life would increase its chances of survival- "Out to the edge of forever". But before or during that happens, all life will cease to exist somehow- "Then never comes".
This song seems to support the [theory?] that earth is the only planet in the universe that's inherited by intelligent life-forms. Are we alone? Who are we? "Ask forever".
