Dinossauros

The song 'Dinossauros' by Dingo Bells carries a reflective and somewhat existential tone, using metaphors of dinosaurs and astronauts to convey feelings of obsolescence and the insignificance of human concerns in the grand scheme of the universe. The lyrics begin with the singer feeling akin to dinosaurs who might have seen the asteroid that led to their extinction. This comparison suggests a sense of impending doom or change that is beyond control, evoking a feeling of helplessness and the inevitability of change.

The song then shifts to the perspective of astronauts who realize they won't return to Earth, symbolizing a point of no return and the acceptance of a new reality. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for life's transformative moments that alter one's path irrevocably. The astronauts, once heralded as heroes, are now distant observers, disconnected from the world they once knew. This imagery reflects on how individuals can feel isolated or detached from society and their previous selves.

Finally, the song touches on the theme of extinction and the passage of time. The singer acknowledges that they have changed to the point of not recognizing their former self, suggesting a loss of identity or purpose. The reference to 'dust in space' underscores the idea that, in the vastness of the cosmos, human achievements and struggles are fleeting and ultimately insignificant. The repeated lines about limited imagination due to 'real problems' imply that everyday concerns can prevent people from seeing the bigger picture of their existence.
