Additional Information

This song was recorded in the key of F, and has a tempo of 128.

Song meaning by Jon: "It's definitely dealing with my lack of belief in an afterlife, but also my belief in the majesty of the universe and how awesome it is to be part of it. It's nothing I haven't talked about before but I think this music's just right for talking about it. The idea being: I might not around as a person, but my atoms are gonna be floating around right til the end, which is cool and sort of empowering, but humbling". (Taken from Radio New Zealand interview, September 2010).

Lyrics

This is no mistake
Turn to look to the future
Hope it's not too late
Finally get it to go

Did you forget yourself?
There's always one hand feeding the other
And if there's nothing else
Well then there's nothing else
You can forget yourself

Stand up

I am the fire in the air
I'm in the cracks in the earth
I am the final year
Of this universe
This universe

Don't let it go to waste
You know that some things have no solutions
And if there's no mistakes
You should forgive yourself
That belongs to no-one else

Stand up

I am the fire in the air
I'm in the cracks in the earth
I am the final year
Of this universe
This universe
This universe
This universe

This is no mistake
Turn to look to the future
Hope it's not too late
Finally get it to go

I am the fire in the air
I'm the cracks in the earth
I am the silence you hear
From the universe
This universe
This universe
This universe
