Blackhole
-
As you approach, a dark circle is bitten out of the galaxy marking the event horizon.
I suppose I should say thanks or some shit.
from your point of view, you never reach the horizon.
So close to the centre of the black hole, you feel powerful tidal forces.
Quiet heart, it’s a quiet heart, it’s a quiet heart.
If you’re falling in feet first, gravity at your head is much weaker than at your feet.
Hollow chest, it’s a hollow chest, on a solemn quest
it also affects the light falling in around you - light from above your head is stretched out and shifted to the red end of the spectrum. Eventually it gets red-shifted into nothingness, so your whole view will be squeezed into a horizontal ring.
Under a world of sound don’t have to know.
Close to the singularity, it appears that the entire three-dimensional universe is being crushed into a two-dimensional surface.
And in the daylight we could hitchhike to Maine, I hope that someday I’ll see without these frames.
Is there information loss? Is there information loss?

Wormhole
-
Once you reach its inner horizon, you see an infinitely-energetic flash of light from the outside world containing an image of the entire history of the universe.
Wait, synthesisers fade out,(whispering) yeah fuck my life, (a laugh), this hurts so bad, this hurts my body, my arms.
but the visualisation assumes you have superpowers to survive it.
(A woman’s voice) wait, (a man’s voice) wait.
the flow of space turns around and you start to accelerate back outward. Instead of falling inward, space falls outwards at a speed faster than light.
You wonder into the bedroom. You’re drunk, we’ve done this before. You stumbled over like three seconds later and kick your boots to the floor.
Soon you experience another flash of radiation, this time containing a picture of the entire future of the universe.
Don’t worry, if I write rhymes, I write cheques. I just came to say hello.
This time, a new universe appears, containing an image of its entire past.
My love for you will surely be the death of me.
