Evolution
Journey Through Time: Unveiling the Human Paradox
Lyrics
We can travel to the planets
We have the capability to explore distant planets.
Drive a mile through solid granite
Highlighting the difficulty of achieving significant feats, like driving through solid granite.
Thrive in all extremes of weather
We can thrive in various extreme weather conditions.
But we cannot live together
Despite our advancements, living together harmoniously remains a challenge.
We have pondered our existence
Reflecting on the contemplation of our existence.
Tracked the comets in the distance
We've explored distant cosmic phenomena like comets.
But we're overcome with blindness
Despite our knowledge, human kindness often blinds us.
By an act of human kindness
Acts of kindness can sometimes hinder our objectivity or clarity.
We have ventured where
We've ventured into uncharted territories.
None have gone before us
Exploring places no one has explored before.
But in matters fundamental
Despite advancements, we struggle with fundamental issues.
We are patterned on an old design
Our behavior is influenced by an old, ingrained pattern.
Welcome back Tyrannosaurus
Playfully referencing the dinosaur era (Tyrannosaurus).
Evolution is a state of mind
Suggesting that evolution is a mindset, not just a physical process.
We have filled the halls of science
We've made significant advancements in scientific knowledge.
With the bones of mighty giants
Reference to the discovery and study of ancient, massive beings.
They'd all been there for generations
These beings have been part of our history for generations.
Buried under our foundations
Even monumental achievements have foundations built on the past.
It's a page right out of history
Comparing life to a historical narrative where much remains unknown.
Everything is still a mystery
Despite advancements, many aspects of life are still mysterious.
All except for one distinction
Except for one crucial difference: our ability to prevent our own extinction.
We can stop our own extinction
Humans have the power to control their destiny and avoid extinction.
We have set ourselves apart
We've distinguished ourselves from the past.
From all that's gone before us
Despite progress, fundamental issues persist due to old patterns.
But in matters fundamental
Reiterating that we are victims of an old, established design.
We are victims of an old design
Referencing a repeated cycle where we face challenges from the past.
Here's your chance Tyrannosaurus
Playfully offering another chance to overcome challenges, invoking the dinosaur era again.
Maybe we can get it right this time
Expressing hope for improvement this time around.
Grab a club and join the chorus
An invitation to actively participate in the evolutionary process.
Evolution is a state of mind
Reaffirming that evolution is a mental state, not just a physical transformation.
