The song is about the aftermath of the movie "Silent Running". To understand the lyrics, look up the synopsis of the movie. But essentially, the movie ends with the last garden of Earth is lost in space, with only 1 service drone named Dewey tending to it. I'll only pick apart some of the lyrics or else this comment will be too long. Just know that there are far more layers to it than what's in this comment. ***"I drift through Shangri-la on a solitary, starry night without even singing. I take another breath and look upon the sky, not even knowing how to return… "*** Shangri-la, while a fictional place from the novel Lost Horizon, essentially refers to a mythical paradise that is isolated from the world. In this case, this refers to the last garden of Silent Running. For what else is "the last garden of humanity" is if not paradise? These first lines is referring to Dewey, drifting through the last garden of humanity. And his original purpose being to tend to the garden so it can one day reforest the Earth, he wistfully mourn that he won't be able to return. ***"So, if this was a dream… Maybe we could jump over the moon to comfort the lonely Voyager? So, if this was a dream… I’d be open to explore Jupiter! I wonder if we could sing “Daisy Bell” together with HAL then? "*** Jumping over the moon likely refers to gravity assist maneuver when it comes to launching space crafts, using gravity of a celestial object to gain speed. The probe Voyager 1 flew by Saturn and took photo of one of its moons, Titan. Silent Running's story takes place next to Saturn. So, the line is about Dewey dreaming that he could jump over Titan and join Voyager on its lonely journey in deep space. Exploring Jupiter and singing with HAL is a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey where the crew voyages to Jupiter. Originally, in the book (Silent Running), the planet in question was supposed to be Saturn, but was replaced with Jupiter in the movie due to budget and technical limitation. HAL-9000 sung "Daisy Bell" when he was dying/being shut down. It is sung in a lullaby form and would presumably be HAL-9000 earliest memory of comfort since Daisy bell is first song to be sung by a computer. Dewey singing it likely means that he is dying. ***"Even my cries won’t reach. Let me hear a lullaby. It plays silently. My deep sigh seems to falter. "*** Lost in space, Dewey's singing of "Daisy Bell" can't be heard, unable to reach anyone. He is alone and wants to hear someone sing back to him. He sings silently to himself, his deep sigh, his life, it's fading, faltering. "I close my eyes and feel the throbbing of life with you. Obliviously, we drift through Shangri-la." Dewey closes his eyes, he's shutting down. He feels the throbbing of life, the life of the forest who is the only living thing in this endless abyss. The 2nd line here feels like a mistranslation, though I am in no way fluent in Japanese so I won't claim to know better. But it should be more akin to "drifting in oblivion, in Shangri-La" This would be quite literal, Dewey is in the garden which is drifting in space, in the void.

Did not know any of this, definitely makes the song a lot more somber than it already is... Thank you for such a valuable insight though, really and truly! I'm surprised with how deep the song's rabbit hole really goes

I think this song has such beautiful lyrics. It does a great job of portraying how little acts of kindness can help others when they are going through a period of darkness.
