Head Spinning
Lost in Endless Beauty: Ein Astronaut's Head-Spinning Reflections
Lyrics
I won't get up today
I choose not to get out of bed today
The days are much too long
The duration of the days feels excessively long
And in my head
In my mind
My thoughts beat like a drum
My thoughts are persistent and rhythmic like a drum
I'm lost, I'm lost
I feel disoriented and confused
In endless nothing
I am lost in a state of nothingness that seems endless
Well that's the state we're all in
This is a common condition we all share
Why should it end where it begins
Questioning why things should conclude where they start
All we can focus on is now
Our attention is focused on the present moment
Better stop wasting it somehow
It's essential to cease squandering the present
Oh well
An expression of resignation or acceptance
So that's the case
Confirming the current situation
But what did I expect
Reflecting on unmet expectations
An endless dream
An unending, perhaps unrealistic, aspiration
Without any regrets
Without feeling remorse or sorrow
I'm on my own
Emphasizing individual solitude
We're all together now
Despite individual isolation, we are collectively connected
My mind is blown
My mind is overwhelmed
By all this beauty
This overwhelming feeling is triggered by the beauty in the world
It is all around
The beauty is omnipresent
And all my senses
All my senses are absorbing this beauty
Suck it up without
Without putting up any defenses
Any defences
Vulnerability to the beauty around
And the world keeps spinning
The Earth continues to revolve
In an endless cloud
Enveloped in an unending cloud of existence
With us tiny fellows
We, as insignificant beings, dance on its surface
Dancing on it's ground
Symbolizing our existence on Earth
