about

In 1633, Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy" and sentenced to be imprisoned by the Inquisition. He was forced to recant his belief in Heliocentricism (that the earth moves around the sun), and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. The official christian belief at the time (Geocentricism) was that the earth was central and stationary, with the other celestial bodies revolving around it. At the end of his trial Galileo muttered under his breath “and yet it moves".

lyrics

I ride the rising tide
the flow of fluid
the internal pull of
celestial motion
draws me forward
draws us all towards truth
my orbit decays
I spiral towards the white hot center of truth
confined by my body
the world around me
a perfect circle the light outside fades
behind closed doors the windows
enclosed afloat in open space
I am in motion
heliocentric
and yet it moves
