So Small
Thomas Bergersen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See our beauty,
We are so small,
So infinitely tiny

See our beauty
We are but specks of dust
In the universe

Overall Meaning

Thomas Bergersen's song "So Small" explores the concept of human insignificance in the vast expanse of the universe. The lyrics emphasize the minuscule size of humanity in relation to the grandness of the cosmos by referring to humans as "infinitely tiny" and "specks of dust." However, despite this smallness, the song highlights our inherent beauty as a species.


The first verse calls upon the listener to recognize the beauty of humanity despite our small size. Bergersen uses the word "see" twice, drawing attention to the wonder of the human form and experience in a way that emphasizes that it might be overlooked. He then follows up with the idea that we are "infinitely tiny," reminding us of our position in the universe. The second verse echoes this, this time calling us "specks of dust." While these two descriptions emphasize our smallness and our mortality as a species, the song does not see that as a negative thing. Instead, the lyrics make a point to celebrate the beauty of humanity.


Overall, "So Small" is a reflection on the relationship between humans and the universe, framing it as one of beauty and wonder but also one of smallness and insignificance.


Line by Line Meaning

See our beauty
Observe the wonder in ourselves


We are so small
Our minuscule size in relation to the cosmos


So infinitely tiny
To a degree of almost immeasurable proportion

This track has the "after the nightmare" feel to it. This is an epilogue song. Very well done, as always!
