Radiant, scalding hot, nothingness.
From a gleam in the void, spark this life, spark this life, thus it has begun!
Blank sheet for a painter!
Piece of paper for an author!
Embrace this blessing!
Embrace this moment!
Collision of titans in the ages before it all.
Combine, unite, together something bigger, something stronger.
Progenitor, prime mover, set this obscurity, ablaze.
Give the needs to survive, set your hands upon the sky.

Blank sheet for a painter, for a painter!
Piece of paper for, for an author.
Blank sheet for a painter, for a painter!
Piece of paper for, for an author.
This soil you walk upon, is not foregone conclusion.
Blank sheet for a painter!
Piece of paper for an author!
Embrace this blessing!
Embrace this moment!

Generating growth, in these depths.
From these oh so very dim depths, arise.
Ascend and claim your place, ascend and face these threats.

Born from the flames of Hadean, so small in the eyes of existence.
But to know what is ahead, so the world, the world is now scared.
From chaos you were born, and chaos you will cause.

What were the odds, oblivious minds wake up!
What were the odds, what were the odds,
Oblivious minds wake up, wake up, now!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cyranoi's song "Abiogenesis" speak about the creation of life in the universe. The first two lines describe the void and nothingness before life began, and then talk of a spark, which ignites to create life. The next two lines speak to the idea that life is a blank slate, ready to be painted or written on like a blank sheet of paper. The chorus repeats this idea, urging the listener to embrace the moment and the blessing of being alive.

The next verse speaks to the idea of growth, and the struggles that come with it. The lines "Ascend and claim your place, ascend and face these threats" are a call to action, urging the listener to rise above the challenges they face. The final verse touches on the idea of chaos, that life is unpredictable and full of surprises. The repeated refrain of "blank sheet for a painter, piece of paper for an author" reinforces the idea that life is what we make of it.

Overall, "Abiogenesis" is a song about the wonder and mystery of life, and the idea that we are all a part of a much larger cosmic story.
