about

The track borrows its name from the piece of visual art by Chilean artist Matta.

lyrics

The Earth is a Man
Something hurtles through the void
(an eruption of incandescent light)
As the building blocks of all we know
(Spray and splay in an ever-increasing sphere)

And in their midst I see myself/In that yonder mountain there
Yes I see myself/I can make out my jaw-line my hair
And there I am again I swear/Vanishing into the sea
But not before I sprawl, I spread/A grand polyphony of shades around me
