about

In 1959 the Soviet Union put a stray dog called Laika onboard Sputnik 2 and launched her into space.

She was the first living being in space.
She saw what no one else had seen before.

lyrics

LAIKA

A planet glittering with sea
(something or other)
Europe opens like a book
(nothing happens)
All life in Moscow just a single point
(no one here)
This helmet will never open again
and the starlight shines into your eyes but...

You don't understand
and you won't understand
that you don't understand

You are not in awe
and you will never know
that you were not

The Volga is burning with gold
(something glitters)
Every career disappears in the miles
(eating the gel)
Millions of dogs running under the clouds
(brutal stillness)
And Sputnik sails around the world
and the starlight shines into your eyes but...

You don't understand
and you won't understand
that you don't understand

This is nothing worth seeing
this is nowhere worth being
it is not, it is not, it is not

Colours.
Shapes.
And a heartbeat inside the suit.
