“For promotional reasons, the song’s title was extended to “Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)” (the parenthetical title being the title of the film in the UK), even though the lyrics have no connection to the film. The promotional video for the song features a few clips from the film, but primarily follows the story of the lyrics, which are about an astronaut trying to send a message to the past in order to warn his family of an imminent societal breakdown.” - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_Canyon

“Dear Future Historians…”

I never walked on the moon
I never saw the pyramids
I was never struck by famine or fortune
I’ll never experience the world you inhabit
I’ll never experience the world you inhabit
I never swam with dolphins
I never sang from a mountaintop
I was no inventor and no archaeologist
I fret not, I fret not
For I’ve made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not
For I’ve made my own discovery
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
I fret not, I fret not, I fret not
Just put your weight on my shoulders
For when I dive into your iris
My brain erupts
Into biochemical mayhem
And I feel like a man with two hearts, with two hearts
