Singularity
Staytons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hotshot and now it′s time to pay
Can't hide, don′t try to run away
Just pray to see another day
And you ain't about to
I've seen the dawn of a Singularity.

Get back and up against the wall
Lift′s over, here′s the minor fall
Keep shut, don't say nothing at all
And you thought that you knew
Watching the dawn of a Singularity.

Fifth avenue walking along
Both singing the same old song
We are living in a Singularity.
Fifth avenue staying strong
Still singing the same old song
We are now living in a Singularity.

Jackpot, you leave and slam the door
The world dims, blackout, hit the floor
Gone through nothing like this before
And how about that though
Watching the dawn of a Singularity.

Break to the core
′Til you find something more
To this world that you're living in now.

Fifth avenue walking along
Both singing the same old song
We are living in a Singularity.
Fifth avenue staying strong
Still singing the same old song
I′m the creator of this Singularity.

Singularity, woah.
Singularity.

Fifth avenue walking along
Both singing the same old song
We are living in a Singularity.
Fifth avenue staying strong
Still singing the same old song
We are living in a Singularity.





Singularity, woah.
Singularity.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stayton's song "Singularity" speak about the concept of technological singularity, a hypothetical point in time when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, leading to a rapid acceleration of technological progress.


The opening lines of the song, "Hotshot and now it's time to pay, Can't hide, don't try to run away, Just pray to see another day, And you ain't about to" suggest that the consequences of advancement in technology and artificial intelligence have reached a critical point where one must face the inevitable outcome. The following lines, "I've seen the dawn of a Singularity, Get back and up against the wall, Lift's over, here's the minor fall" further emphasize the point that we have reached a turning point in history. The chorus, "Fifth avenue walking along, Both singing the same old song, We are living in a Singularity" emphasizes the idea that we are already living in this reality and experiencing the consequences.


The song suggests that we need to come to terms with the fact that the power we have unleashed through technological development is not something we can control or easily turn back, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future. The lyrics "Jackpot, you leave and slam the door, The world dims, blackout, hit the floor" suggest that the consequences of the technological Singularity could be catastrophic and unpredictable.


Overall, the lyrics to "Singularity" offer a cautionary warning about the dangers of emerging technologies and the need for society to proceed with caution and awareness of the possible consequences.
