Thus Spoke
Silent Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two years lost in a lightless sleep - not a star in sight since the Fall of the Machine. Creation and invention collide to provide a gap in existence: A ripple in time. As matter collapsed I fell inside crossing in a distant, deathless, dimensional divide where the sum of gravity granted passage and bowed.

The Night God Slept Everything Was Sound When the End Began




Overall Meaning

"Thus Spoke" is a song that explores the theme of creation and invention in the face of death and destruction. The opening line "Two years lost in a lightless sleep" suggests a sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the singer has been trapped and unable to escape. The reference to "not a star in sight since the Fall of the Machine" implies that the world has been destroyed and all light has been extinguished. The line "Creation and invention collide to provide a gap in existence" suggests that even in the face of such devastation, there is still a desire to create and innovate.


The next lines, "A ripple in time. As matter collapsed I fell inside crossing in a distant, deathless, dimensional divide where the sum of gravity granted passage and bowed," offer a sense of transcendence and escape. The singer seems to have found a way to travel through time and space, crossing into some kind of alternate dimension where the rules of physics are different. The "deathless" quality of this divide implies that the singer has achieved some kind of immortality, or at least a way to escape the ravages of time and decay.


Overall, "Thus Spoke" is a song that explores the human desire to create and innovate even in the face of death and despair. It suggests that even when all seems lost, there may still be a way to escape, to transcend, and to find new meaning or purpose in life.

So cool how the lyrics connect The Night God Slept, Everything Was Sound and When The End Began

Bob Raymond Kars

@Vaylon. Yeah, I feel the coming albums will create a poem. When the end began is a part of a sentence asking to be completed

Wouldn't surprise me if they planned that from the moment they named The Night God Slept
