Little Blue Marble
Embracing Life's Fragility in "Little Blue Marble
Lyrics
There's a mirror in the heavens
Reflection on existence, comparing it to a heavenly mirror.
Like in the snap of a camera
Simile of a quick snapshot, emphasizing fleeting moments.
We see ourselves afloat
Observing ourselves floating in the vast cosmic sea.
In the vast black sea
Contemplation on the enormity and emptiness of space.
Is nothing ever really given?
Rhetorical question about the nature of receiving in life.
Like in the rush of the random?
Comparison of life's unpredictability to a random rush.
We love our lifeboat
Expressing affection for life and its protective aspects.
And we love to be
Celebrating the joy of being alive.
Sailing on a little blue marble
Metaphor for Earth as a small, precious celestial body.
Dancing like a dream among the stars
Describing the experience of existence as a beautiful dance.
Living on a little blue marble
Emphasizing the shared life on Earth under a common beating heart.
With just one beating
Highlighting the unity of all life through a single heartbeat.
Just one beating heart
Reinforcing the interconnectedness of humanity.
From here everything makes sense
From a cosmic perspective, life appears harmonious and clear.
A perfect sphere nothing out of reach
Portraying Earth as a perfect sphere, symbolizing unity.
From dust to the greatest mysteries
From humble beginnings to profound mysteries, all within reach.
We cling and shimmer like leaves
Comparing human existence to leaves, fragile yet shining.
We sing and gather like the waters
Metaphor of unity and gathering likened to water.
We are nothing more than
Acknowledgment of the shared identity as Earth's offspring.
Earth's sons and daughters
Reiteration of human unity as sons and daughters of Earth.
We are sailing on a little blue marble
Repeating the metaphor of Earth as a small, precious sphere.
Dancing like a dream among the stars
Reiterating the beauty and dream-like quality of existence.
Living on a little blue marble
Stressing the shared life on Earth with a common heartbeat.
With just one beating
Emphasizing the unity of life through a single heartbeat.
Just one beating heart
Restating the idea of interconnectedness and unity.
We lie in the meadow in a million miles of night
Imagery of lying in a vast meadow, contemplating the cosmos.
Pulled by the pulse of the moon
Being influenced by the moon's rhythm in the cosmic dance.
Entrust our cells with this tiny thing called life
Entrusting the essence of life to the cosmic forces.
Find each other like notes in a tune
Symbolic connection between individuals, like musical notes.
Sailing on a little blue marble
Repeating the metaphor of Earth as a small, precious sphere.
Dancing like a dream among the stars
Reiterating the joyous dance of existence among the stars.
Living on a little blue marble
Highlighting the shared life on Earth under a common heartbeat.
With just one beating
Emphasizing the unity of all life through a single heartbeat.
Sailing on a little blue marble
Repeating the metaphor of Earth as a small, precious sphere.
Dancing like a dream among the stars
Reiterating the beauty and dream-like quality of existence.
Living on a little blue marble
Stressing the shared life on Earth with a common heartbeat.
With just one beating
Emphasizing the unity of life through a single heartbeat.
Just one beating heart
Final reinforcement of interconnectedness through one heartbeat.
