Lyrics

There is a great filter that every form of life

There exists a significant obstacle that all forms of life must confront.

Must cross

It's a mandatory passage for all life forms.

It determines the ability to continue

This obstacle decides whether life can progress further or if it ceases indefinitely.

Moving forward or if all must forever stop

Raises the question of whether everything will come to an end.

But

However,

Have we already passed it

It's uncertain if humanity has already surpassed this obstacle.

Or will we fall?

Or if we are about to fail and decline.

Could we be could we be the first multiplanetary species

Poses the idea of humanity becoming the first species to inhabit multiple planets.

Might we be might already be on the brink of existence

Suggests the possibility that we might already be close to extinction.

A challenge so immensely hard to overcome

Highlights the immense difficulty of the challenge facing us.

That everything, almost everything is doomed to fail

Implies that most attempts to overcome this challenge are doomed to fail.

Human technology is still in its infancy

Indicates that human technology is still at an early stage.

How could we possibly have found them

Raises doubt about the possibility of our discovery of extraterrestrial life.

Absence of evidence is not

Suggests that lack of evidence doesn’t necessarily mean absence.

Evidence of absence

Emphasizes the potential existence of lost and forgotten civilizations.

They might be

But

Speculations about why not all life forms may have passed the filter, attributing it to various reasons like self-destruction, conflicts, or natural disasters.

If we already passed it

-

Why haven’t all?

-

It might be the nature of intelligence to destroy itself,

-

Or it is the nature of thinking beings to destroy each other

-

Life might face recurring times of natural disasters

-

Or everyone is listening but no one is transmitting

-

Humanity is still in its infancy

Reiterates humanity's early stage and conflicts, reinforcing the uncertainty regarding extraterrestrial life.

Still in quarrels with each other

Absence of evidence is not
