Song: Vein of Stars
Album: At War With the Mystics
Year: 2006
"Off in the future maybe there ain't no heaven, it's just you and me and maybe it's just as well, 'cause if there ain't no heaven maybe there ain't no hell? Who knows? Maybe there isn't a vein of stars calling out my name... Who knows?"
*JUST SOME WORDS: I've always been concerned about the Universe, space, planets, etc, but lately it is all that occupies my mind. I've been watching videos about it, I've been looking at some photographs by the 'Hubble' telescope and I've let my mind wander. I can't help feeling so small, so insignificant, so humbled, yet so helpless, I can't even assess the entire scope of the universe.
For example, I find utterly frustrating the fact that, and assuming it is true, the photos that we see from 'Hubble' are the image of something that happened like billions years ago and that by the time we are looking at it, things are already different. I would like to imagine a spaceship that's super fast that would allows to discover, but that is just an utopia, just mere speculation, and it bugs me that I won't be able to see what is out there, my life span won't allow me. That's the only reason why I wish there was some thing after death.
Anyhow, I try to imagine how life in in other parts of the Universe, because I'm certain there is, it would be dumb and somehow self-centered to believe we are alone. In this trip I find myself imagining that some galaxies are already connected through their inhabitants, and that there are communities dealing with imminent destruction of their planets or nearby stars due to wars or by natural causes. They travel to one galaxy to another using fast spaceships, meaning they use a far better technology than ours, but not quite yet perfect or supreme to impede that from happening. Maybe I'm influenced by Lilandra's character and that story-line of galaxy travelling.
But pay no mind to my word spilling here, as I was writing it I couldn't find the right words to express it, so it may be kind of lame and incomplete.
