Masters of Stars
Cydonia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They got here in the middle of the night
The light was really shining on the mounts
Petrified faces followed that moment
That's the very day that's signed by fate.

Wisdom & love as the prophets had said
Will be alright just give it time
God knows what from abuse

Of wisdom may come
You will create your fate through our matrix

The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods
They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars
The Gods of Time

And the moment they had to leave
There emerged a great number of religions
Time passed by and with it all beliefs
Prayers got confused with fairy tales

Wisdom & love as the prophets had said
Will be alright just give it time
God knows what from abuse
Of wisdom may come
You will create your fate through our matrix

The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods
They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars
The Gods of Time

[Narration]
"In all worlds there is both life and death
It's impossible to erase all memories"

But traces will always be hidden
Until the day..."when they will return..."

The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods

They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars

Overall Meaning

The first verse describes an event where an alien species or a higher being arrived on Earth in the middle of the night with bright lights shining on the mountains. This moment was so extraordinary that it petrified the people witnessing it, and the day became a significant turning point in history. The second verse talks about the wisdom and love that the prophets had spoken about, and how they will eventually prevail, albeit with the passage of time. It also mentions how too much abuse of wisdom could have dire consequences, and that people should use it to create their destiny through their own matrix.

The chorus goes on to describe the universe as being full of real life, where the inhabitants adore and worship their own deities. The eternal Masters of Stars are entities that are close to the doors of eternity and may represent the concept of time. The song contemplates the idea of the eternal nature of life in the universe, the nature of the divine, and admonishes against beliefs that are mere fables.

The song has a narration where it states that memories of life in the universe within and outside our planet cannot be erased, and that someday, they will return.
