Hoping it's not too late

The lines about “the hidden dangers” and being “cast adrift in space” reflect worries about humanity. 

That was inspired by reading interviews with astronauts – they’d get into space and look back at the world, and couldn’t understand why people were still fighting with each other, and why we were destroying our own planet, that was so beautiful from a distance. 

The heavy breathing sound is an astronaut breathing in his helmet. He doesn’t have long to live, and at the end his breathing stops. 

He’s basically just trying to send a message that we should all get along.

Constant drifting space no fear by a pepper moon

Look at all the waves down here, did we peak too soon?

All the deadly dreams we had that I can't believe

The universal messages that we don't receive

Even though we know it's forever changing

Even though we know we lie and wait

Even though we know the hidden danger

I hope it's not too late

Slowly follow shining stars for the solar flare

I'm on borrowed time right now running low on air

It's a pity you cant see such a travesty

Gonna give myself to the deep majesty

Even though we know it's forever changing

Even though we know we lie and wait

Even though we know the hidden danger

I hope it's not too late
