如何瞬间冻结时间
记住望着我坚定的双眼
也许已经没有明天
面对浩瀚的星海
我们微小得像尘埃
漂浮在一片无奈
缘分让我们相遇乱世以外
也许未来遥远在光年之外
我愿守候未知里为你等待
我没想到为了你我能疯狂到
山崩海啸没有你根本不想逃
我的大脑为了你已经疯狂到
脉搏心跳没有你根本不重要
一双围在我胸口的臂弯
足够抵挡天旋地转
一种执迷不放手的倔强
足以点燃所有希望
宇宙磅礡而冷漠
我们的爱微小却闪烁
颠簸却如此忘我
缘分让我们相遇乱世以外
命运却要我们危难中相爱
也许未来遥远在光年之外
我愿守候未知里为你等待
我没想到为了你我能疯狂到
山崩海啸没有你根本不想逃
我的大脑为了你已经疯狂到
脉搏心跳没有你根本不重要
也许航道以外是醒不来的梦
乱世以外是纯粹的相拥
我没想到为了你我能疯狂到
山崩海啸没有你根本不想逃
我的大脑为了你已经疯狂到
脉搏心跳没有你根本不重要
相遇乱世以外危难中相爱
相遇乱世以外危难中相爱
我没想到
The lyrics of M. John Harrison's song "Light" describe a love that is so intense, it is capable of defying time, distance, and circumstance. The singer appears to be in the midst of a great cosmic upheaval, yet they remain fixated on their beloved. They sing of their willingness to wait for an uncertain future, to love in the face of danger, and to be consumed by madness for their loved one. The imagery used is both romantic and cosmic, with references to the vastness of space and the tenuousness of existence.
The song speaks to the idea that love can conquer all, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It also highlights the enduring nature of love, how it can persist even in the most challenging of times. Ultimately, the song portrays love as a powerful force that can transform and transcend.
Some possible interpretations of the lyrics include the idea that the singer is using the concept of falling in love as a way to cope with or escape from the chaos in their life. Another interpretation is that the singer is expressing their belief that love can provide meaning and purpose in the face of existential questions.

Read Light back in 2003... found it a roller coaster, but enjoyed it. I discovered the rest of the trilogy at the end of last year, not started them yet, I hope they are as good!
@Paul_Bond.
If you mean good as in as mind meltingly weird then you should be happy. The third is so off the scale in strangeness I've read it twice and still have no idea what the hell is going on... and for that reason I love them all.
@TheNuclearTourist
Light is one of my favorite books. It's like it was written by a surrealist that got tired of painting melting clocks and decided to have a go at extremely bleak hard sci-fi. Love it.
@summerkagan6049
There is a direct linage from Roadside Picnic through The Kefahuchi Tract and The Southern Reach Trilogy. All three are about places where causality breaks down and the people who can endure that.

Hi Darrel, I tried ordering Black Milk paperback a couple of days ago via Amazon UK and it's out of stock ☹ Is that just a glitch in the Matrix or a permanent state of affairs? Who says you're allowed to tease us only to subvert our expectations and where do I fill the form applying for compensation? Be it known that if my rights as a crazy fan aren't satisfied, I will report you to the proper authorities on the matter!
@Sci-FiOdyssey
🤣🤣🤣it must have been a glitch in matrix. My books are print to order so should never be out of stock
@pacificareigns
