Labyrinth
Hyperion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the tears fall from your face
In a lake of lies they're falling
Lost in labyrinth of mind
[BRIDGE]
I want to know the right direction
To find the promised land
Hear the silent cry of black swans
Swimming in a million tears
Searching in a drop of water
To realize my dream to
[CHORUS]
Ride, on the seven seas of life
In the darkened skies of fear
This dream will last forever
Time, to forget the blessed wins
In this labyrinth of sin
Your dream could be forever
Everyone gives right solution
To remove the mortal sin
We don't use their sacred answers
I've already plot my way
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
The opening lines of Hyperion's "Labyrinth" seem to express a feeling of aimlessness and confusion. The singer doesn't know where they're going, and this is emphasized by the simile of tears falling from someone's face into a "lake of lies." The imagery here suggests that there's something deceptive or illusory about the path they're on. The use of the word "labyrinth" indicates that the journey is complex and difficult to navigate. The second verse introduces the idea of searching for meaning and purpose within this confusing landscape. The black swans and tears evoke a sense of sadness and melancholy, but the idea that someone could "realize [their] dream" by searching for it in a "drop of water" suggests that there's still hope for something positive to come out of this difficult situation.

Alien tech will vary wildly from ours.
1. Planetary composition, I always here "follow the water" as the key but im sure it's only partly correct. It should be "follow the liquid" life doesn't need H2o exclusively to be sentient just similar. Then you've got the what metals and materials do they have or not. If the have an abundance of silver but no tin how will they evolve tech?
2. Genetics: the old game spore put that in perfectly if only roughly. You have 3 paths from single cell to space travel, carnivore herbivore and omnivore at each stage. So if the are carnivores the species will be aggressive, predatory, and feel superior to just about anything not proven to be bigger and meaner. Herbavores will be shy, retiring beings with a pension for hiding and avoiding other races. Omnivores are a crap shoot, with the best and worst traits the other two have.
3. Mental aspects, are they herd based, alpha based or a hive mind? This is the scariest for humans. We are 7+billion individuals, if they aren't and it's only a few or one running it all we just fundamentally understand them and war would likely ensue (much to our detriment) and vice versa how could our species even invent the wheel alone?!
4 similarities in species, if humans got first contact with a species that looked like your last real meal planetside could you treat them as anything but beneath you? What if they have a species of monkey on their homeworld that is our equivalent of the family cat?! Could the consider us more than a creature to be petted occasionally and left to our wandering? We need to think not in terms of "they look like X,Y, or Z" and treat them as people and well this species hasn't made in roads on that in 60 or so years really so unless we are forced into that line of thought it's not happening in at least a century (more likely two).
5. Prior interaction with us and others,
If we bumped into the local bullies and had our backend handed to us how would we respond to a second rolling into orbit and saying hi? We'd turn them into nuclear dust of course. What if it's the local snake oil seller, or the UFP variant. Our first time will PERMANENTLY color our species. So if we decide to announce our arrival onto the quadrant stage we need to be open but ready to throwdown if needed. A trust but verify in a heavily defended ship style of contact. To give a perception our bite is fatal of provoked but if you let us look you over and see your not too bad we can be friends way is best.
That's it my brain is toast y'all figure the rest.

Alien Archeology has always been my favorite sub-genre, even when it comes only as part of the larger story it still intrigues me to no end!
Bedo Sar
Me too. Can you please recommend some media about them？Been struggling to find some.

The labyrinths are most likely built, like the time tombs, by the technocore. After eliminating most of mankind, the survivors will be held there, connected to a cruciform, and used as an exotic computing power that can do what a pure IA can't, notably dealing with the Void, feelings and other things that the technocore doesn't and cannot understand. Each labyrinth being a gigantic chip made of humans. The description speaks for itself, gigantic symetrical mazes of regular proportions...now look at a CPU unit.

Knowing nothing other than what was mentioned in the video and the comments, could it be that the labyrinths are each a part of the processor and the tunnels themselves are the transistor pathways but are already functioning using some undetectable medium instead of electricity?

Dunno if this will even reach you, but I would like to thank you for paying this amount of attention and interest to the series that's the greatest love story ever told. The Cantos is a monumental, multi-layer palimpsest of themes, ideas, and archetypes, but the climax of the Raul/Enea arc is a beautiful culmination to them all. I've been reading it all over again for over a decade along with other works by Dan Simmons, which I try to acquire in original, since English is not my prime language. I've noticed that there's a lot of lightness and artistry to it when you read the original and not the translation. Simmons, like Shakespeare is read best in original (Klingon ;) ).

I always thought "The Builders" was actually the AI ultimate intelligence. They seemed purpose design to hold all of cruciform enslaved humanity while the technocore unleashed the galaxy or even universe wide death wave.
