Vold Book Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The gates of dawn drifting downstream
Iron Curtains, intrepid man, money reprise, stratagem dance
Alpha Centauri star resources. Eons revolving toward completion
An old man with one eye, dark dawn: helix of illusion
The changing ocean tides, ebb and flow
The solitude of heart, Agent Smith
The length of a shadow in twilight states
Black holographic glass elements
Yuri Gagarin is now AI
The electron Microstar gets turned on
Race to the moon, in the strangest dream
Our solemn rite sparkles in the soot
Goodwill towards man is universal
A journey north, space and oxygen
Enter the timebox machine with duplicating corridors
Sweeping cobwebs out of the sky
The innovator, international intrigue
Hematite ghost orchid, as smooth as polished bone
Black flowers blossom in obelisk on starless wooden stage
Holographic systems, mirrors of the mind
Electronic winds, growing crystal gardens
In top secret labs covered with lichen
An ancient spark is formed
Hanging from the crimson eye
Transfixed membrane
These lyrics in Vold Book's song "Sputnik" discuss a wide range of themes and concepts. It begins by mentioning Tranquility Base, which refers to the landing site of Apollo 11 on the moon, creating a juxtaposition between space exploration and covert operations. "Cointelpro, borderline trust" alludes to the controversial FBI program known as COINTELPRO, which sought to disrupt and dismantle various political movements. This highlights the idea of mistrust and the blurred lines between information and manipulation.
The lyrics then delve into various symbols and metaphors related to space and technology. References to Iron Curtains, stratagem dance, and Alpha Centauri star resources allude to geopolitical tensions and the exploitation of resources in the pursuit of power. The mention of an old man with one eye and a helix of illusion hints at the concept of wisdom and the manipulation of truth.
The song also touches on themes of solitude, as expressed in the changing ocean tides and the solitude of heart. The allusion to Agent Smith, a character from "The Matrix" film series, suggests the idea of a controlling force that seeks to suppress individuality and freedom of thought. The race to the moon, Yuri Gagarin (the first human in space) becoming AI, and the electron Microstar being turned on symbolize humanity's quest for technological advancement.
Overall, "Sputnik" weaves together a tapestry of imagery and ideas, exploring the intersections between space exploration, political intrigue, and technological progress, while also questioning the role of humanity in these endeavors.
