Goodbye Milky Way
Enigma · A Posteriori [2006]
107 light years away
Many times, so many doubts
But no reason to talk about
Mission is over, mission is done
I will miss you, children of the sun
But it's time to go away
Goodbye Milky Way
For a better world without hate
Follow your heart, believe in fate
Only visions and the mind
Will guide you to the light
Mission is over mission is done
I will miss you children of the sun
But it's time to go away
Goodbye Milky Way
Mission is over, mission is done
I will miss you children of the sun
I go home until someday
I say goodbye, goodbye Milky Way
In 5 billions years the Andromeda galaxy
Will collide with our milky way
A new gigantic Cosmic world will be born
Goodbye Milky Way

The track captures the atmospheric production style that defined the group's later work, blending ethereal soundscapes with rhythmic undercurrents. While the project is often associated with its massive early hits, this recording demonstrates the continued exploration of spiritual and cosmic themes that have long characterized the music. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the project's unique sonic identity, offering listeners a moment of contemplation within a broader catalogue of innovative electronic compositions.
