Beyond
Sogma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.
On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of.
Every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there, on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
The above lyrics from Sogma's song "Beyond" are a nod to the famous Carl Sagan quote, "The pale blue dot." The lyrics paint a picture of Earth's place in the universe, a small and insignificant speck in the vast cosmos, yet the home of all life as we know it. The first two lines refer to how lonely and small Earth appears in the vast darkness of the cosmos, while the next two lines highlight the importance of Earth as the stage of human history, where every person who has lived, good or bad, has called it home. The phrase "suspended in a sunbeam" is a thought-provoking image, as it refers to how Earth looks from space, a tiny dot of light in the blackness of the universe, surrounded by the bright aura of its sunbeam.
The lyrics also hint at the fragility of our planet, the dangers of not caring for it, and the need to explore and discover beyond our earthly confines. The song "Beyond" is a tribute to the spirit of exploration, as exemplified by the likes of Carl Sagan, Neil Armstrong, and other space pioneers who have dared to venture beyond our planet's horizons. The lyrics pose existential questions about the meaning and purpose of human existence, and the potential for discovering new worlds and civilizations beyond our home planet.
