Aeons
Trauma Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet we're in the middle
The stars we see are but a memory, an echo from the past
Time is distance, we become history
And the memories will be lost
If there's no-one to remember
I am the light of a star
I stare the night sky
I hear the whispers of million stars
From the time before we were here
From the time before we were here
And our memories will be lost
If there's no-one to remember who we were
We are lights of distant stars
And our light will shine in the sky
We will shine, shine in the sky
So watch the sky - I will shine for you
In "Aeons," Trauma Field explores the concept of human existence within the vastness of the universe and reflects on the fleeting nature of our individual lives.
The first verse sets the stage by presenting our insignificance in comparison to the immense emptiness surrounding us. We are depicted as a mere speck floating in a sea of nothingness, highlighting our smallness in the grand scheme of things. However, despite our minute size, we find ourselves positioned in the center. This paradox underscores the paradoxical nature of our existence.
The mention of stars as memories and echoes from the past further emphasizes the transient nature of our lives. Stars, though appearing bright and alive, are actually distant objects whose light takes immense amounts of time to reach us. This concept is extended to our own lives, suggesting that time is the distance we travel, ultimately becoming history. Our memories and experiences will fade away unless someone remembers them, highlighting the importance of human connection and remembrance.
The chorus provides a poignant metaphor by comparing the singer to the light of a star that died aeons ago. This line conveys a sense of melancholy, underscoring the impermanence of life and suggesting that the singer's impact and presence may be long gone.
The second verse shifts focus to the night sky, where the singer observes and listens to the whispers of a million stars. These whispers represent the collective memories and stories of the universe from before humanity's existence. The repetition of the phrase "From the time before we were here" emphasizes the vastness of time, highlighting the briefness of our existence in comparison.
The chorus repeats the idea that our memories will be lost without someone to remember us. It adds a sense of urgency, urging listeners to recognize their own significance within the vastness of the universe. The singer declares that they and others are lights of distant stars, implying that our light will shine on even after we are gone, leaving a lasting impact on the world around us.
In the final line, the singer urges listeners to watch the sky, promising that their light will shine for them. This line serves as a call to pay attention to the beauty and transience of life, to cherish the memories that connect us to one another, and to recognize the potential for our own light to shine, leaving a lasting legacy.

We're but a speck floating in a sea of nothing
We are insignificantly small, existing in a vast emptiness
Yet we're in the middle
Nevertheless, we occupy a central position
The stars we see are but a memory, an echo from the past
The stars we observe are mere remnants, reflections of their former selves
Time is distance, we become history
As time passes, we gradually transform into a part of the past
And the memories will be lost
If there is no one to remember, all recollections will fade away
If there's no-one to remember
In the absence of someone to keep our memories alive
I am the light of a star
I represent the radiant energy emitted by a distant star
A star that died aeons ago
An ancient star that perished countless ages in the past
I stare the night sky
I gaze intensely at the dark expanse above
I hear the whispers of million stars
I perceive the subtle murmurs emanating from countless stars
From the time before we were here
Originating from an era prior to our existence
And our memories will be lost
If there is no one to preserve our own reminiscences
If there's no-one to remember who we were
Without an individual to recall our true identity and essence
We are lights of distant stars
We embody the luminosity emitted by remote celestial bodies
And our light will shine in the sky
Our brilliance will radiate across the heavens
We will shine, shine in the sky
We will gleam and illuminate the firmament
So watch the sky - I will shine for you
Therefore, observe the celestial expanse as I will emit my radiance exclusively for you
