Jupiter Society Lyrics

chartered space. Cpt Kate Bishop, by some referred to as "the Bitch", already had a questionable reputation. Suddenly Bismarck Explorer dropped from the radar and disappeared...

What happened'
What happened'
What happened'
What'
What happened to her'
What happened'
What happened out there'
Silent ship
Empty
Without life
Where is everyone'
Now there?s only dust on the floor and interrupted lives
Disconnect
Mindless
All lost souls
Where is everyone'
Now she is embedded in ice like a predator in disguise
Open channels, unmade beds
Dried uneaten food on plates
Empty chamber locked from inside
Three year mission not heard of since May
For Cpt Kate Bishop and the crew we pray
[the Crew]
We are not dead yet, in constant hibernation
We can still see you but no communication
Long for salvation from cosmic conservation
eternal reflections hallucinate affections
[Kate Bishop]
Fearless unyielding
Never astray
Why do they follow
my directions
They trust me
And they believe me
Fearless unyielding
Never astray
Why do they never
Have objections
They fear me
But they believe me
[the Crew]

The Jupiter Society's song Bismarck Explorer is a science-fiction narrative about a spaceship directed towards extreme distant exploration that suddenly disappeared from the radar with no sign of its crew or captain. The song mentions that the captain, Kate Bishop, has a questionable reputation and is referred to as "the Bitch" by some. The Bismarck Explorer was found by chance a week ago, deeply embedded in ice and without any sign of the crew or captain. There is dust on the floor and interrupted lives, suggesting that the ship has been run in disarray without a crew to maintain it. The crew is in constant hibernation, and the ship now seems like a silent and empty husk.
The lyrics of the song seem to explore the mystery and the horror of what might have happened to the Bismarck Explorer, its crew, and captain. The song's imagery is chilling, with empty beds, uneaten food, and a locked chamber from the inside. It is clear that the crew has not abandoned the ship, as they are in constant hibernation, but their fate remains a mystery. Captain Kate Bishop is depicted as a fearless and unyielding leader who never strays from her mission, yet her crew never seems to object to her decisions, and they both fear and believe her.
