Eternity
Stellardrone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The spacecraft.was a long way from home.
I thought it might be a good idea, just after Saturn,
to have them take one last glance homeward.
From Saturn,
the earth would appear too small for voyager to make out any details.
Our planet would be just a. point of light, a lonely pixel
hardly distinguishable from any
other points of light voyager would see;
nearby planets, far off suns
but precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed...
such a picture might be worth having.
It has been well understood by the
scientists and philosophers of classical antiquity
that the earth is just a mere point...
in a vast...




encompassing...
cosmos.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for the Stellardrone song, "Eternity" convey a sense of isolation and detachment as well as an appreciation for the vastness and obscurity of the cosmos. It describes the distance between the spacecraft and Earth as a reminder of how insignificant our planet is in the grand scheme of things. The suggestion to take one last glance homeward after Saturn represents a longing for connection despite the distance and the desire to capture the beauty of Earth from a distant perspective.


The line, "the earth would appear too small for voyager to make out any details" highlights the immense distance between the spacecraft and our planet and how that affects our perception of it. This lyric also comments on the limitations of human perception and the need to rely on technological advancements, like Voyager's camera, to broaden our understanding of the universe. The final sentence, "such a picture might be worth having" suggests that this small, distant perspective of Earth is still meaningful and valuable, even though it highlights our obscurity in the cosmos.


Overall, "Eternity" is a beautiful and thought-provoking piece that encourages us to look beyond ourselves and to appreciate the vast expanse of the universe. It emphasizes the importance of technological progression in advancing our knowledge of the universe, as well as reminding us that despite Earth's smallness in the grand scheme of things, it is still a beautiful and valuable place.

Astronomer Carl Sagan:
The spacecraft was a long way from home.

I thought it would be a good idea, just after Saturn, to have them take one last glance homeward. From Saturn, the Earth would appear too small for Voyager to make out any detail. Our planet would be just a point of light, a lonely pixel hardly distinguishable from the other points of light Voyager would see: nearby planets, far off suns. But precisely because of the obscurity of our world thus revealed, such a picture might be worth having.

So, here they are: a mosaic of squares laid down on top of the planets in a background smattering of more distant stars. Because of the reflection of sunlight off the spacecraft, the Earth seems to be sitting in a beam of light, as if there were some special significance to this small world; but it's just an accident of geometry and optics. There is no sign of humans in this picture: not our reworking of the Earth's surface; not our machines; not ourselves. From this vantage point, our obsession with nationalisms is nowhere in evidence. We are too small. On the scale of worlds, humans are inconsequential: a thin film of life on an obscure and solitary lump of rock and metal.

Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings; thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines; every hunter and forager; every hero and coward; every creator and destroyer of civilizations; every king and peasant, every young couple in love; every mother and father; hopeful child; inventor and explorer; every teacher of morals; every corrupt politician; every supreme leader; every superstar; every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings; how eager they are to kill one another; how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.

Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity — in all this vastness — there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we've ever known.

The pale blue dot.

It is God Lord Holy Trinity (1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
) God Lord The Father Creating us (The skeleton by which God Lord Jesus Christ Has also the Following Role) God Lord The Son Jesus Christ fundaments us and is our first and utmost Level of Existence ( Romans 8, Eph 2, 1 Cor 6) for He is the fundament of Life (not of evil - demons, satan, hell, death sin amd their forces, for they do not have Life - God in Them) which generates everything as it is after His purposes and God Lord Tje Holy Spirit, which animates all things and beings (- the evil ones) with the Spirit of Life, being everywhere, for He Gives The Spirit of Life (Genesis 2) and is Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent by which our spirit was breathed into our bodies Generated By God Lord Jesus Christ and Created by The God Lord Tje Father. Search Him, Be With Him. Ask Him in prayer to reveal Himself to you. Surrender to Him Fully and Forever, Come to Him, Ask Him To Come to You, To Replace You, To Be You, To Be. 0 of us all of Him, so that there may be no more room in us for the devil, death, evil sins, limitations, errors, their forces (demons) and their works, remnants of works and ways to enter in (sin is the way they enter in) -based on Matthew 11:28-30, 19:36, John 3:30 - You will realise it is the Truth and it is more than a belief both in the wrong sense ( a presumption that can be demolished at the first contradiction which is induced in your path) and the right sense (to trust on God): It is Certainty, It is More Than Certainty, It is The Reality, It is The Truth, and It is The Best also all testify of Him and He Is Life, our Lives, The Most Important and vital to all, for without Him nothing can be done or exist ( John 15:5) Come to God Lord Holy Trinity. nothing to Lose. Everything to gain.

Holy Scripture Support for what I said about Him: Job 34:14-15

14 If he set his heart upon man, if hegather unto himself his spirit and hisbreath; 

15 All flesh shall perishtogether, and man shall turn again untodust.


and John 1:1-5 KJV

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Agreed this song gives me goosebumps in a good way. It’s hard to describe but I think it’s because I can sience the meaning and emotion put into this track. It’s not like this happens to me which every song but the ones that d make me feel an intense emotion happy yet sad, almost like I can feel the artist’s emotions being put into these tracks. A example of a song that gave me a similar feeling is “Peter Robertson’s Ghost Dance.”

@Dlippincott8607

This makes me feel emotions I can’t even describe

@salima3703

That's actually what it means to be human (seriously)

@belindaspechtenhauser6621
