Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Belgian-Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard, 1931 1st to reach for the stars was
The 1st to explore the air view Stratostheryous, a scientist curious to see what was there
An aluminium black ball gondola helium balloon, with portholes & instruments sailed towards the moon
Rose in just half an hour fifty two thousand feet 10 miles up tenth air pressure left for dead trapped in heat... and cold.. but disproving gravity !!
Wonderful mystical beautiful sight flat-line separation of black from blue light
A world run by deceivers, false make-believers
Hiding in shadows, stealing our light
Yeah stealing our light
Mystical wonderful let there be light Supernatural eternal Luminiferous light
Up we go..
Higher than rainbows, higher than mountains, ‘bove cumulonimbuses, higher than air
Eye Level horizon 360 around us flat right-round behind us, any height that you dare
The sun and the moon both revolve above round us, to forever show time pass, intelligently there
You’ll never beat us, you’ll never defeat us, no more you deceive us, we see through you like air
Kipfer & Piccard were the 1st ever known to reach up there..
Beautiful divine luminescent light, mystical wonderful celestial light..
So what was their eternal testimony what did they report back to humanity
Said “It seemed like a flat disc” far as eyes can see
“with an upturned edge” fading into infinity
A mystical ethereal celestial sight, a divine creation of clockwork of lights
Design hid by deceivers, and false make-believers
Still cowering in shadows, still fearing our light.. here we go
Higher than Everest, higher than airplanes, above cirrocumulus, higher than air
Eye Level horizon 360 around us no motion beneath us, no spinning globe there
Stars on the firmament turn above round us, to forever show time pass, geometrically there
You’ll never beat us, you’ll never defeat us, forever beneath us we see through you like air
wonderful mystic sonoluminant light, fantastical magical breathtaking sight..
we see through you like air
Mystical Magical angels of light..beautiful wonderful celestial light
The first to see truth when they reached for the stars ...explorers & physicists Kipfer & Piccard..
Level and Motionless, proven we are.
Level and Motionless, therefore we are.
Eye Level horizon 360 around us no motion beneath us, no spinning globe there
... never you’ll beat us, never you’ll defeat us, forever beneath us we see through you like air...
The lyrics of "Lighter Than Air" by G. Schyman and J. Bonney touch upon the awe-inspiring journey of Belgian-Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard in 1931, who became the first person to explore the stratosphere in a helium balloon. The song describes Piccard's incredible feat of reaching an altitude of fifty-two thousand feet, defying gravity and disproving the limitations of human exploration. This journey is depicted as a wonderful and mystical sight, highlighting the scientific curiosity and the bravery of those who dare to reach for the stars.
The song also delves into a deeper theme of deception and false realities that pervade our world. It suggests that there are forces at play that seek to hide the truth and steal our light, metaphorically referencing the suppression of knowledge and the manipulation of information. The lyrics urge the listener to seek out the truth and embrace the light of knowledge, portraying a struggle between those who deceive and those who seek the truth.
As Piccard and his fellow explorer Kipfer report back their observations of the Earth from the heights of the stratosphere, they describe a flat disc with an upturned edge, challenging conventional beliefs about the shape of our world. This revelation sparks a sense of wonder and mystery, as they discover a divine and celestial creation that contradicts the narratives imposed by deceivers and make-believers. The lyrics celebrate their courage in confronting established norms and daring to see beyond the illusions that shroud our understanding of the universe.
The song culminates in a declaration of empowerment and revelation, asserting that Piccard and Kipfer's journey has proven the Earth to be level and motionless, challenging the accepted notions of a spinning globe. The imagery of being higher than mountains, rainbows, and airplanes symbolizes the transcendence of limitations and the attainment of a higher truth. The lyrics exude a sense of triumph and defiance against those who seek to deceive and control, inviting the listener to embrace the light of knowledge and perceive the world with clarity and discernment.
