Cast adrift in space, no fear
By a pepper moon
Look at all the waves out here
Did we peak too soon?
All the deadly dreams we had
That I can't believe
The universal messages
That we don't receive
Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know, we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late
Slowly follow shining stars
Feel the solar flare
I'm on borrowed time right now
I'm running low on air
It's a pity you can't see such a travesty
Gonna give myself to the deep majesty
Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know, we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late
Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know, we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late
Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know we don't have long
Even though we know there's a hidden danger
I hope we don't go wrong
Even though we know it's forever changing
Even though we know, we lie and wait
Even though we know the hidden danger
I hope it's not too late
About This Song
"Even Though" is a contemplative electronic track that explores humanity's relationship with environmental destruction and existential uncertainty against a backdrop of space-age imagery. The lyrics weave together cosmic metaphors ("pepper moon," "solar flare") with urgent questions about whether civilization has "peaked too soon," creating a sense of drifting through both outer space and moral ambiguity. Morcheeba's signature trip-hop style provides a dreamy, atmospheric foundation that contrasts with the song's weighty themes of hidden dangers and universal messages we fail to receive. The repeated refrain "even though we know" emphasizes our collective awareness of impending crisis yet our tendency to "lie and wait" rather than act. The track stands out for its ability to make environmental and existential anxiety feel both intimate and cosmic, wrapped in the band's characteristically lush, downtempo production.
