Singularity Lyrics
Learning on the fly
How to gather and analyze
Nothing is living if nothing dies
What an exception to make
Roundly rejecting our faith
When singularity comes
We will be fully revealed
Wandering limitless fields
When singularity comes
We will be abstraction then
We will buried within
All will be balanced
We will be one
Now we're on our way
All of our instincts accelerate
Nothing you imagine could keep this pace
We will know freedom at last
Finally make up for the past
When singularity comes
We will be faster than light
Whistling, skipping through time
When singularity comes
We will be children again
We will be cradled within
We will be perfect
We will be one
When singularity comes
Living in one mind
Every pin drop is amplified
Every outcome before its tried
Will make a rag doll of God
Wind up our new music box
When singularity comes
We will be fully revealed
Wandering limitless fields
When singularity comes
We'll be completely awake
Neophyte make no mistake
We're in this together
We will be one
When singularity comes
When singularity comes
How to gather and analyze
Nothing is living if nothing dies
What an exception to make
Roundly rejecting our faith
We will be fully revealed
Wandering limitless fields
We will be abstraction then
We will buried within
All will be balanced
We will be one
All of our instincts accelerate
Nothing you imagine could keep this pace
We will know freedom at last
Finally make up for the past
We will be faster than light
Whistling, skipping through time
We will be children again
We will be cradled within
We will be perfect
We will be one
Every pin drop is amplified
Every outcome before its tried
Will make a rag doll of God
Wind up our new music box
We will be fully revealed
Wandering limitless fields
We'll be completely awake
Neophyte make no mistake
We're in this together
We will be one
When singularity comes

Conor explains this song in an interview which you can find here: http://www.spinner.com/2010/12/21/conor-oberst-bright-eyes-peoples-key/
"Also, I don't know if you're familiar with the theory of singularity. This guy, Ray Kurzweil, who was the inventor of early synthesizers, he has this theory -- a few other people write about it too -- but essentially there's a point where artificial intelligence reaches beyond human intelligence and we fuse in with the internet and become what he calls "spiritual machines." Essentially, you stop having to die and stop having to eat. Our physical form is no longer important because you're able to maintain your consciousness by uploading it to the next frame, which sounds spooky and weird but I think it's 100% achievable, especially when you think about how fast new machines invent newer machines, which invent the newer machines. It's exponential growth. A person doesn't have to sit down and invent every one of these steps. His vision is really utopian, like this is the way forward. Humans, we're obviously going to destroy our planet and destroy our physical form, but we'll continue in this way."
He's just a constant song-writing genius. I love this so much.
I feel like the songs on this EP are more "traditional" Bright Eyes than People's Key. Regardless, I really really love this song. It's simple and beautiful.
Seems like he's expanding on the idea of oneness from "One For You, One For Me".
