scale of the universe - boyinaband lyrics

[verse 1]
if you were to zoom in
phase-out, move in
focus on this human
whose cells magnify as you fly through them
and see atoms, looming
but you keep shooting
past protons, bosons, quarks
’til even a part of a particle’s too big
then boom, an end to the intrusion
as you hit the resolution of the universe
the strands of its fabric, the tiniest fragment the planck length
past that, gravity becomes fallacy
try contrasting that with the galaxies
and to grasp the huge magnitude
of the universe it’s unimaginable

but let’s try anyway

if that insane length was one dollar bill
then to reach the wavelength of the smallest particles
quarks, that are so fundamental they don’t have an inherent size
would be the current price you’d gain if you sold
mount everest made out of gold
that is insane

if you applied the midas touch to my mind
it’d be quite enough to buy a car to drive
and with the gluons and 3 quarks combined
make a large hadron those guys collide; a proton
and to magnify to that size
would turn that midas mountain into a diamond
my mind made of that could buy you an island
and next we ramp up, from quarks and protons to atoms
atoms the fractions of matter
the ones that that grant us our m-ss and
if that quark was counted every time you take a single breath
you’d respire midas mountains then until your death
yeah, nd if that life, was compressed into one lock of hair
then as we climb up the rest of these atomic stairs
then we’d p-ss dna when we get to my red streak
and the size of our cells would equate to every hair on my head
sing!

[hook by vihart]
sometimes you make me feel so small
can’t comprehend your size
yet i’m a giant in your eyes

[verse 2]
if we took my head of hair that a cell represents
lifetimes of midas everest breaths
and then you would stretch it out to the skyline
again and again
you’d find circle round the earth 10 times
before you meet me… and you
right here the reach of a human, a meter or two
and if we were to choose
one song to represent those horizons, an mp3 on our device
then to reach the size of the earth compared to like our size
that’s a terabyte hard drive, filled with our files
it seems immense
and if we compress that collection to one word
to represent our world
then scaling coefficients from the planet to the solar system
would let me re-read the whole of deathly hallows
awesome!
and then to travel between stars as we take to the skies
would be 10 times every word you’ll ever say in your life
and as an -n-logy of the expanse of galaxies up in sp-ce
10 times the total of every word in every book ever made
and to move up to the scale of galaxy cl-sters
would be every word said by everyone in shanghai, in london
berlin, delhi, la, mumbai, sao paulo and moscow
jakarta, karachi, dubai, telford, tokyo and stockholm
and then to galaxy supercl-sters in the large-scale structure
with filaments that feel inadequately described as humungous
since if we stay with the scale of earth as a word
that equates to all the words everyone alive today will ever say
then finally we reach the biggest physical thing we can confirm
the indescribable size of the observable universe
which would be more than every word that every person has ever said
every word that was ever written, every word that was ever read

[hook by vihart]
sometimes you make me feel so small
can’t comprehend your size
yet i’m a giant in your eyes

[bridge by vihart]
i can’t control the scope
but i’m not losing hope
no no no, no

[verse3]
to summarise
every word that every person has ever said in their life
where each word implies enough mp3s to fill a terabyte hard drive
where each song is 10 times the number of drives to the horizon
that it’d take to ride around the world each time you set eyes on one
where each horizon is a head of hairs
and every hair there is the length of a lifetime
and each breath in that life is the price
of mount everest made entirely by midas
and that finally describes it, oh, and it’s increasing in size
so each time you listen to this song again
it’ll be even more difficult to comprehend
