Terra incognita

from Man in the Mirror (2010) by Utopia Now

/

about

This is a song about the existential fear of the unknown (the future and ultimately death), with which we all deal in very different ways (some try not to deal with it at all).

lyrics

- Terra incognita -

The wheels that never stop,
the ticking of the clock,
the whisper of the hourglass,
and the burning horizon.
A Herculean pull
on every particle,
a river into darkness
forcing each and everyone.

Chorus:
Terra incognita,
a certainty that drowns in contingency and static.
Terra incognita,
a force behind the curtain, unremitting and magnetic,
precarious, erratic, inescapable:
Terra incognita

The clinging, anxious fist
of the traditionalist,
the blind that leap ahead
in their seven-league boots.
The ones refuse to change,
the others to maintain,
the former kill potential,
and the latter kill their roots.

Chorus:

Bridge:
With shaking, weary bones
towards the great unknown.
Everyone’s alone in their adventure
towards one final tomorrow.
