"The Earth Will Fade Deep Into The Black" by Avi Vinocur

I wrote this song about how little we will really mean when our planet inevitably ceases to exist.

Lyrics:
We don't mean a thing in the end
No we don't mean a thing in the end
All we are is molecules that sift into the sands
No we don't mean a thing in the end

The earth will steadily decay
To the nothingness from which we came we'll fade away
Every pope and royal fam'ly won't mean anymore than you
When the earth in the end fades away

All the money and celebrity won't matter in the least
All religions will be seen for what they are
Every word the Beatles sang will be as silent as this song
When the earth fades deep into the black

We don't even matter to the world
We're just another species being twirled
All we are is squandering the beauty of her love
So we don't even matter to the world

The universe will always carry on
Long after the earth is departed dead and gone
We are just a pencil mark behind a perfect work of art
Yea the universe will always carry on

Now every constitution will be void of purpose
All inventions will be useless evermore
Every line by Ernest Hemingway will be equal to this poem
When the earth fades deep into the black

We don't mean a thing in the end
We are only people in the end
We just have each other in the time that we are here
We won't mean a thing in the end

Not a whisper will resound of the history we built
No moon will move the tides that don't exist
24/7 and 9/11 will be arbitrary numbers
When the earth finds it isn't even missed

I love you passionately. More people should tell you this since you have almost 1000 views.

Your name indicates that you descend from the people that brought Meaning and Purpose to the world. Strange that you should be so disconnected as to write a nihilistic song like that.

Avi, the earth will be here until G-d's Will for us is completed... please accept your Destiny.
