A grandiose and sweeping existential number about energy, love, life and death… where does it come from where does it go? Is the Dot Point love? Has that energy always existed?
A work of musing and abstraction.
lyrics
DOT POINT
(words: John Holton/Steve Lane. music: Steve Lane)
we are
all of us
spiralling
some inwards to eternity
whether clockwise or anti
it’s circling that will save us
from inertia
and the incessant march of history
whilst love existed always at the core
nothing less, always the same, nothing more
there’s a dot point
from which it all began
the source of all this energy
too complex to understand
it’s a life choice
and it’s sparked not by demand
it exists because it does
better catch it while you can
coz love existed always at the core
nothing less, always the same, nothing more
love existed always at the core
nothing less, always the same, nothing more
