Exploration of space
The lyrics to Dave Pearce's "Exploration Of Space" are simple yet powerful in their repetition. The constant repetition of the phrase "Exploration of space" serves to emphasize the vastness and infinite possibilities of space that are waiting to be discovered and explored. This idea ties into the human desire to push boundaries and discover the unknown, which lies at the core of space exploration. The repetition also serves to create a rhythmic and hypnotic effect, which adds to the overall energy of the song.
The lyrics can also be interpreted as a call to action, a rallying cry for humanity to continue exploring the mysteries of the cosmos. The use of the word "exploration" implies that there is still much to discover and understand about space, and that it is up to us to continue the quest for knowledge. The song's intense beat and electronic sound add to this sense of urgency and excitement, creating a feeling of inspired energy and a desire to blast off into the unknown depths of space.
Overall, the lyrics to "Exploration Of Space" evoke a sense of awe and wonder at the vastness of the universe and a desire to push the boundaries of knowledge and understanding.

@DavidPearce1

@lambertronix
@David Pearce oh no need for apologies. i will being drinking caffeine again in a few days and will enjoy a sugar free red bull and the ensuing higher valence.
@DavidPearce1
@John Lamberton , hah, just a foretaste of the posthuman nectar of the gods.
@gabrielfanucchi621
@David Pearce Are you concerned about negative health effects from consuming artificial sweeteners daily?
@DavidPearce1
@Gabriel Fanucchi , thanks. Sugar-free Red Bull does contain aspartame (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame). Should I be worried?
@anthonycarlino4604
