Additional Information

Song meaning as told by Jon: "I wrote it after watching the footage that the Voyager II satellite sent back of the rest of our Solar System which I found very humbling and illuminating. A song about trying to find some perspective on where we fit in the grand scheme of things." From The Edge radio station website

Lyrics

Something missing in our brains, yeah
We all used to live in caves, yeah
Build the world, thats in our heads, yeah
And its not over yet

(What's holding you back?)
We roll through space, all looking up
(What's holding you back?)
To fall like waves on sand
Beautiful Machine
Show me what you see

We're a million miles away, yeah
From where we should all be today
There's a lot that we regret
That we should never forget

What were you thinking of?

Slowly drifting out in space
We all used to live in caves
We build the world thats in our heads
And its not over yet

Whats holding you back?
