“Singularity” is a single by Bright Eyes. It includes Singularity and In the Real World. It was released in February of 2011 along with their full album The People’s Key.
The use of the synthesizer in this song may be a tribute to the aforementioned Ray Kurzweil, inventor of the early synthesizers.
[Verse 1]
Learning on the fly
How to gather and analyze
Nothing is living if nothing dies
What an exception to make
Roundly rejecting our faith
[Chorus]
When singularity comes
We will be fully revealed
Wander in limitless fields
When singularity comes
We will be abstraction then
We will be buried within
All will be balanced, we will be one
[Verse 2]
Now we're on our way
All our instincts accelerate
Nothing you imagine could keep this pace
We will know freedom at last
Finally make up for the past
[Chorus]
When singularity comes
We will be faster than light
Whistling, skipping through time
When singularity comes
We will be children again
We will be cradled within
We will be perfect, we will be one
When singularity comes
[Bridge]
Living in one mind
Every pin drop is amplified
Every outcome before it's tried
We'll make a rag doll of God
Wind up our new music box
[Chorus]
When singularity comes
We will be fully revealed
Wander in limitless fields
When singularity comes
We'll be completely awake
Neophyte make no mistake
We're in this together, we will be one
When singularity comes
Oh, when singularity comes
