And what comes next?
A chance to save ourselves?
Imagine magma encrusted in rock
And on the surface of this world, all eyes are on the clock
Cos all our empires, our philosophies, our practiced faiths, our revolutions
our proud sciences, are but a flicker in one day of the lives of the stars.
We can breathe in space, they just don't want us to escape
We can breathe in space, they just don't want us to escape
And what comes next?
A chance to save ourselves?
The constellations yes all 88 of them
Like the G8 they meet to procrastinate
Greetings, we are an infant species
crawling, into our own, premature decline
The north star is chairing the meeting, he knows we're spoilt
and he's sniggering at our histories.
We can breathe in space, they just don't want us to escape
We can breathe in space, they just don't want us to escape
the hollow proposals mean we'll migrate
but they'll bleed us dry until that 11th hour
and when dawn breaks i'll sit and stagnate
with this metric ton on your shoulders, how do you cope?
we are an infant species
crawling, into our own, premature decline
The north star is chairing the meeting, he knows we're spoilt
and he's sniggering at our histories.
lets prove the stars wrong.
we've got to do this.
and I find it hard to believe that we're are alone...

I think his song is about the fact that we take advantage of this earth, and treat it like we have the right to do what we want, when actually our whole lifetime is a like day in the lifetime of a star. We are the "infant species" compared to everything else, yet, we see ourselves as more superior. And that is wrong in my opinion

I think the meaning of this song is basically "One day the world won't exist anymore, so just enjoy it while you can". I love how they personify the universe and say that, while we have things of massive importance on Earth - science, history, war and love - the Universe has seen it all before. Who knows how many other Earths there have been in the long life of the Universe? So we have to live with the knowledge that at some point in the future, everything we've done will have been completely forgotten. And completely pointless.
This song really hits me hard :/

This song goes beyond a lot of Enter Shikari's typical song style. Although a similar vibe to "Step Up" on their album Common Dreads, this song is very unique. It provides a very upbeat and cheerful style thats very easy to move to. I definitely think this is a great song, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to listen to something to cheer them up. C:
