This song is a requiem for us all. Those of us that remain on this earth are destined to be consumed when the sun expands in its red giant phase then left as cinders orbiting a white dwarf. We sent up a dog named Laika to die alone in orbit from heat exhaustion but what have we collectively done to ourselves? Our climate control units (our biosphere) like the one on Laika's lunohkod have been ravaged leaving us on an uncontrollable spiral into extinction. Perhaps monuments to our existence will be recognisable in however many hundreds of million years that it takes for intelligence to evolve again, though even the hoover and three gorges dam would be lucky to remain in any recognisable form. The hivemind truly is a dim companion to our old white dwarf.
