[00:00.000] 作曲 : Matthew Philip Cerami
[00:00.000]We are the body cosmic;
[00:03.587]the interconnected flesh.
[00:07.604]Transfigured and forged in sidereal flame;
[00:15.263]dark matter genetics pulse through our veins.
[00:22.708]But life begins shattered;
[00:24.482]our first breaths are scattered;
[00:26.317]and we are born broken.
[00:33.801]Whatever I am is the creation of others.
[00:43.080]Coalescence
[00:49.272]Nurture molds what nature has made.
[00:56.799]I contain multitudes
[01:15.653]Shield the eyes—maternal fire;
[01:19.428]fragments of self in the distance.
[01:23.115]Cosmic background kin;
[01:27.030]ego dies in the frigid expanse.
[01:30.756]Identity killed by the knowledge of station;
[01:34.387]unwhole apart—everything together;
[01:38.233]the untethered celestial children of cosmic debris.
[01:49.205]Whatever I am is the creation of others.
[01:56.993]Coalescence
[02:04.857]Nurture molds what nature has made.
[02:12.166]I contain multitudes
[03:51.690]Lungs heavy with stellar dust;
[04:00.837]beating blood-red star hearts;
[04:10.516]eternal matter incarnate;
[04:18.993]is this the grand design?
[04:47.024]With the stars up high,
[04:53.704]or with the space between them?
[05:00.845]With the planets above,
[05:07.486]or with the suns that feed them?
[06:10.289]Where does the weight of the universe lie?
[06:14.681]With the brain that breeds thoughts,
[06:17.067]or with the mouth that speaks them?
[06:19.092]Where does the weight of the universe lie?
[06:23.441]With the limbs of a body,
[06:25.423]or with the muscles that move them?
[06:27.872]Here, from the vantage of stars,
[06:32.350]a revelation;
[06:34.196]no whole exceeds its parts.
[06:36.600]Every cell;
[06:37.917]a monument to insignificance.
[06:41.100]Every mind;
[06:41.684]an ode to circumstance.
[06:42.939]The truth that each of us must seek:
[07:36.791]Where does the weight of the universe lie,
[08:07.032]if not with me?
