Terraforming
Jupiter Society Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out, daytime
passed forever
We’re all clinched
Nobody can move
Everything is a waste
A waste of time and life
Take away the darkness around us
Take away the ones that disagree

Please take away the anger

Still where I was born,
but far away from home…

After a lifetime of searching,
a lifetime of calculating
Time, mass and distances,
rotation, shape of orbit, speed
We’ve found a world that
has what we need
Here can we stay
for as long as we like
Conflict extinction
Equality for all
Conflict extinction
One unified nation

Finally days are long enough,
the sun sets as I desire
Spring time around the year,
no dark winter to fear
Comforting afternoon
is allways at hand
No need for sadness
No need for GOD

No need for evolution
No need for ancient history

Here is no tradition
We have our life and live it here!

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Jupiter Society's song Terraforming describe a dystopian world where it’s always nighttime, and everything feels futile. The imagery here is powerfully bleak, and the tone of despair is emphasized by the repetition of ‘a waste of time and life’. However, there is hope in the form of an appeal to take away the darkness, those who disagree, and the anger. The lyrics may be referencing a desire to create a better world, but the kind of radical changes necessary to achieve it are not clear.

The next verse introduces the idea of finding a new world that can sustain human life. The lyrics suggest that after a lifetime of calculations, humanity has found a new habitable planet that has everything they need. The mood here is one of optimism and liberation, and the idea of escaping to a new world is a common theme in science fiction stories. The final lines of the song seem to celebrate the possibility of a utopian society with no need for ancient history or tradition, where people can live their lives on their own terms.
