ShockOne Lyrics

No stars, no galaxies, no planets or people
Then suddenly, without warning
Everything exploded into existence
The universe was born
The lyrics of ShockOne's song "Singularity" touch upon the profound concept of the origin of the universe and the birth of existence. The song begins by highlighting the sheer emptiness that prevailed prior to the existence of the universe. Fourteen billion years ago, there was nothing; no stars, galaxies, planets, or life. This sets the stage for a glimpse into the mysteries of creation.
Abruptly, the lyrics introduce a moment of immense transformation. Without any forewarning, everything unfolds explosively, resulting in the birth of the universe itself. This highlights the profound nature of the Big Bang theory, where the cosmos burst forth from unimaginable energy and rapid expansion. The suddenness of this event communicates the awe-inspiring force and majestic power that initiated the universe's existence.
By focusing on this singularity, ShockOne invites listeners to contemplate the mind-boggling origins of our reality. The lyrics serve as a reminder of the vastness and wonder of the cosmos, urging us to appreciate the miracle of existence and the intricate web of interconnectedness that weaves through it all.

Fourteen billion years ago, there was nothing
At a time as distant as fourteen billion years ago, there was an absolute absence of matter or existence
No stars, no galaxies, no planets or people
In this void, there were absolutely no celestial bodies, no vast systems of stars, no orbiting planets, and no living beings
Then suddenly, without warning

Everything exploded into existence
All elements of the universe burst forth into being in a grand explosion of creation
The universe was born
