about

The song "Time Traveller" is inspired by HG Wells "The Time Machine". In the novel, the time traveller discovers that humanity does not move
towards an ultimate state but rather evolves erratically. The song ties this to the human need for constant motion and contrasts
this with Hegel's theory of historical finality.

lyrics

oh it's in my blood
I can never get enough
oh it's in my blood
I can never get enough

when i was born my father was 10 years younger than I am now
add nine more years and half of my existance lies behind me
try wrapping your head around that

we've been looking at, we've been reaching for the stars
since day one
it seems my whole being
is nothing but fluidity
if sharks stop swimming
they drown

our breath and bones
and all we had to give
with them we've raised cities from the driftwood
when I say that I can never let it go
you know in your heart it's not my fault

oh it's in my blood
I can never get enough
oh it's in my blood
I can never get enough

5 billion years from now the sun will begin
folding in on itself
this would be of no concern to me
if I wasnt fretting over destiny and her or him or they or us

we've been dreaming of, we've been longing for the moon
since time began
it seems my whole beeing
changes with the seasons
you've given me a place
where to hide

our breath and bones
and all we had to give
with them we've raised cities from the driftwood
when I say that I can never let it go
you know in your heart it's not my fault

it's in my blood, yeah
it's in my marrow, i concede
clear blue skies
they're a beautiful thing, oh

you might share george's dream of inertia
but I've always deemed myself more a time traveller
