Voyager Lyrics
Long years, far place
Dark nights, dark days
Frozen, silent
Bearing Earth-songs
Earth-songs
Force fields, high winds
Cold moons, bright rings
Hear my signal
Will you follow?
Look back at us
As a speck of dust
Darkness our home
Bear it through love
Last note, last sign
Neptune, Triton
Fading signal
Choose light, choose love
Voyager, look back
At a pale blue dot
All we don't know
A flake of snow
Dust in a sunbeam, blue dot
So far, so cold
Kindness, kindness
Care for
Our shelter, tender, tender
About This Song
"Voyager" by PJ Harvey is a philosophical art rock song about the Voyager space exploration project and about human existence within the vastness of the universe. The song uses the images of distant planets and moons, as well as the famous "pale blue dot" picture, to draw the listeners' attention to the vastness of the universe and the frailty of our planet. While sending the songs of our civilization to the space in the hopes that other civilizations would be able to hear them, the lyrics of the song speak of optimism about our ability to choose love and light and to see the kindness in each other, regardless of how much space separates us.
