Alternatively known as "O.T.O." or "the space song", "Oblivious To Oblivion" deals with the fragile art of being human, and depicts an ideal that, no matter what you believe, it's still okay to believe it.
lyrics
To the furthest corners
My destination extends beyond equilibrium
To be truly human is exploration
Oblivious to oblivion
The sun still revolves around the earth
Everything happens here at the center of this universe
Time has bounds, and the days seem to be numbered
Yet the limit to the human mind has yet to be discovered
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Unaware of what has been forgotten
But it's not what it seems
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Don't you remember
What that means?
Question at the popular belief
Could the world still be flat?
Where's the edge and what's underneath
Chase the sun, manifest that destiny
Until you're right back where you started having witnessed that infinity
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Unaware of what has been forgotten
But it's not what it seems
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Don't you remember
What that means?
To the furthest corners, my destination
Extends beyond equilibrium
To be truly human is exploration
Oblivious to oblivion
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Unaware of what has been forgotten
But it's not what it seems
See for yourself, see if it's true
See if this makes sense to you
Don't you remember
What that means?
See for yourself, see if it's true
(To the furthest corners)
See if this makes sense to you
(My destination)
Unaware of what has been forgotten
(Extends beyond equilibrium)
But it's not what it seems
(To be truly human)
See for yourself, see if it's true
(Is exploration)
See if this makes sense to you
(Oblivious)
Don't you remember
(To oblivion)
What that means?
