In a few thousand years...
"We finally deciphered the text on it. It's a monument to love, to undying loyalty and affection! How amazing! Here, it reads: 'Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down'"
Parts of it remain indecipherable without the social context, however, as the writer explicitly assumes a mutual knowledge of some set of unspecified rules.
From the line "Never gonna run around and desert you" we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or "deserting" them.
I thought it meant sprinkling sugar on them and eating them as an after dinner treat
Can we all splurge on a cubesat with a vinyl record or some other media that contains "never gonna give you up" , and make our own voyager sattelite for other lifeforms to receive?
