Maybe it's better to pick progressive rock from the 60s or 70s, the times we thought about space with intrigue and imagined the whole other world would be built by now. Maybe Interstellar Overdrive by Pink Floyd would be a fit.

Yet, I'd go with Assembly of Light - Transition. Besides my preferences, the eclectic nature of this song (thing as ancient as chorus vs pretty modern drone of morbidly overtuned guitar) may demonstrate, how we are too a complex of seemingly incompatible things. Emotionally, it feels like a relief after overcoming a struggle, a thing that I find is pretty universal to all beings. And it also doesn't have lyrics, so there won't be any misunderstanding.
