[Verse 1]
You taught me the courage of stars before you left - a reference to the past, actually we live in the past
How light carries on endlessly even after death - E=mc/\2 energy cannot be created nor be destroyed
With shortness of breath you explained the infinite - infinity is just an accident (a reference to mortality)
How rare and beautiful it is to even exist - the ability of Homo sapiens to create and romanticize their existence in the context of their surroundings
[Chorus]
I couldn't help but ask - recognition of ignorance, craving for knowledge
For you to say it all again - repeat
I tried to write it down -------------|
But I could never find a pen |
I'd give anything to hear |---- a reference to 'the most comprehensible thing about the universe is that it is incomprehensible'
You say it one more time -------- |
That the universe was made -|
Just to be seen by my eyes --|-----a reference to quantum mechanics
I couldn't help but ask
For you to say it all again
I tried to write it down ------|
But I could never find a pen |
I'd give anything to hear |----a reference to 'the most comprehensible thing about the universe is that it is incomprehensible
You say it one more time -----|
That the universe was made ----|
Just to be seen by my eyes ----|----- again a reference to quantum mechanics
[Verse 2]
With shortness of breath, I'll explain the infinite ---- epiphany that the universe is stranger than we could ever imagine. nobody belongs to anywhere, nobody exists on purpose. There can be infinite you at infinite multiverses and in infinite dimensions.
How rare and beautiful it truly is that we exist ----return to the existential romanticism
