Superposition from Afterlife by Petter Vågan
«Superposition» is a poetic and playful musing on quantum mechanics and the true nature of reality, from beginning of time until the currently projected end of time. It also encompasses the area where cutting edge quantum physics interject with the oldest scriptures of Hinduism.

Lyrics
A void
of uncreated essence
Poised
In a radiating presence
A wave
Moving through everything
creates
fleeting polarisations
That invoke
Illusory separations
An elaborate joke
Rippling out into labyrinthine compositions
A masquerade!
Two halves staging a play
Just like a dog
Playfully chasing his tail
Lost in a dream
Trying to get back to start
Running at full speed
But the hallway’s just getting longer
While Novelty
Grows into disorder
And the entropic fee
Cradles the tempo in a graceful descent
to its end
