The song seems to be an evocation of universe and space, but is full of metaphors and ideas with several meanings ; the descriptions are actually used as metaphors to talk about love, memories and stories between human beings.
[Verse 1]
Stretched to the core of galaxies
Distorted city grids
By the black hole of vanity
Blossoms the age of greed
Beyond the laws of density
Towers of glass and steel
Temples and fragments of memories
Drifting away from me
[Chorus]
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Expanding between you and me
Come with the night the science of fighting
The forces of gravity
[Verse 2]
After the gates of prophecies
A million light years away from me
Straight for the eye of destiny
Reaching the point of tears
Behind the dreams of mastery
Love dies silently
Torn to the flesh as the fire bleeds
Echoes of history
[Chorus]
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Expanding between you and me
Come with the night the science of fighting
The forces of gravity
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
Come with the night the science of fighting
The forces of gravity
[Chorus]
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Expanding between you and me
Come with the night the science of fighting
The forces of gravity
I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
Come with the night the science of fighting
The forces of gravity
