The Mute Gods, "Tardigrades Will Inherit the Earth"

I hardly knew if there was any profound Stoic message here when I first heard the tune. I just knew that this was an incredible song, accompanied by an incredible video. It caught my fancy right away.

What do we all assume is the proper way to live, while never considering the real order and meaning behind all things, and all of what we are doing to ourselves, and what all of it will ultimately become?

I take it back. Put that way, it can actually have quite a profound Stoic message.

My daughter immediately asked, "Why are they just doing things like cooking and cleaning? Why are their heads covered in mirrored cubes?"

She thought for a moment, and then answered her own question. "Wait, I get it! There's nothing inside them! Everything they are is just a reflection of the empty world around them!"

From the mouths of babes. . .

You and I
Are only here for a little while
So let's TV shop
And fall in love
Build a house
Just big enough

Before the tardigrades inherit the Earth
Check it

We sit at home
Celebrating Christmas
Use the telephone
Let's make a child
Take some photographs
Put them in an album
Hey, let's have some laughs

Before the tardigrades inherit the Earth
Check it

Tardigrades will inherit the Earth

And now we look much older
Older than we've ever been
Have much pension
Hair-replacement therapy
Walks in the park
With grandchildren
And this is what we tell them

Tardigrades will inherit the Earth
Check it
