Pale Blue Dot
The Prototypes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest
But for us, it′s different
Consider again that dot
That's here. That′s home. That's us

Our world




Overall Meaning

is a small and insignificant speck in the vastness of the universe. From a distant vantage point, like the one imagined in this song, Earth may seem unremarkable. However, for us, it holds immeasurable value and importance. The lyrics encourage listeners to consider this tiny dot, this home we all share, and to appreciate the wonder of it all.


As stated in the song, the phrase "Pale Blue Dot" was first used by Carl Sagan of the United States in his book of the same name. The book discusses the Voyager 1 spacecraft's iconic "Pale Blue Dot" photograph. It features Earth from more than six billion kilometers away, taken as the spacecraft was leaving our solar system. The photograph serves as a reminder of our place in the universe and the importance of protecting our fragile planet.


The song itself is a drum and bass anthem crafted by British duo The Prototypes, a duo composed of Chris Garvey and Nick White. It was released by Viper Recordings in 2017 as part of an EP of the same name. Pale Blue Dot has been praised for its high energy and the emotion it evokes, with its lyrics encouraging listeners to contemplate and reflect on our place in the universe.

This goes pretty hard. You either like it or you don't. If you don't like it stop listening and go to an artist you like. 

@Alucard1151

Well said !
