about

Laniakea features astonishingly written and sung choruses by poet, astrophysicist, singer, philosopher and friend, Marie Polaris.

Laniakea is a Hawaiian word that means "immense heavens", "open skies" or "wide horizons" and is also the name of the super-cluster that the Milky Way galaxy is home to.

The song is a psychedelic lexical trip tracing the dizzying string-theory threads from the atomic formation of the universe and its baffling mysteries and beauties to the depths of our very earthly vulnerable, and small, yet still integral and important selves.

If we aren't significant, nothing is. For we are everything, and if you stand in awe of any miraculous feature of life, remember that you are somehow a part of that.

We are as much comprised of minute artifacts of ancient history as we are a part of the gargantuan promise of the future.

The glossolalia of fused words, portmanteau, is meant to depict and impart a meta-sense of the puzzling complexities of the universe and seeming paradoxes of astrophysics.

Overall:

“We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

lyrics

Densely packaged atoms bursting
intensely blasted, vast dispersing
swerving debris, astral vapors
swirling dervish to breed in cosmic antechambers
churning Quantum matter, turning atomic data
into sinuous byzantine minute-strips
A momentous Mobius pattern with fathomless
infinite unfathomable labyrinths
collaborating to cobble,
copulating complicated Calabi-yau spaces
chronicled chaos, Hourigami menageries
Laniakea unfolding fractally
teasing out vibrant synced inventions
from a chrono-quilt life-stitch string dimension
Lift perception to conceptualize this:
An hourglass is every “grain” sliding
in an impossibly giant Time-sieve,
so on and so on inside them.

Hall of mirrors gallery, Kaleidoscope realities
enacting omni-directional gravity's
amalgamating-rituals cyclical
trans-dimensional meta-physical visuals
Continuumsumating the marriages' nuptials
enriching expanding/contracting stippling
Star chart canopy,
Noirboraetum drop cloth staggering
stark art galaxies with pockmark singularities

(Polaris:)
Cosmic insight into nova,
see the source of central aura
mind the space and its construction
unwrapped time entangled order
sublimate to resurrection,
infiltrate the shared projections
iterated worlds unfolding
decompressed to inner knowing

Verse 2 (AllOne):
All this limitless dancing
an intrinsically tacit
Brobdingnagian vastness
you cannot simply imagine
twinkling fragments
twisting and thrashing
enigmas are fashioned
with brilliant aspects
on a dizzying grand
obsidian canvas

Four Forces fornicate
to formulate and forge a matrix
a complex mosaic
of atomic information
correlating a core relayed
to flourish in space
a brush stroke of genius in a Boltzmann Brain
a cosmic display of caustic displacement

each micro-particle a part of the molded
macro and startling clone
if it makes you feel small you should know:
"as above so below"
every part of your code is a part of the whole,
from the Great Wall of Sloan, the largest of zones
to the stars and the holes, we can follow them home
to the marvelous globe we are calling our own
to the molecules flowing through hearts and our bones
Palindrome Kismet: the start IS the finish,
you feel that its true (the thought is intrinsic)
introspectrum in a telescope image
zooming OUT into a microscope vision
a cog in a clockwork, intricacaesium infinite
we're an anagram of all that this is
a conscious personification of existence

Polaris:
Connection in its strongest, subtlest form
Height of consciousness, central storm
we're awareness encased in flesh
diadem adorn a mind
above earthly complex
prefix to a lost word,
ascribed to knowing beyond language
fundamental holographic structure
