lirik lagu guante & big cats - never tell me the odds
this is the art of drawing breath
of making visible what has been invisible
this is a pragmatist’s guide to faith
this is singing when you don’t know how to pray
welcome to this sp~ce—know that you are not welcome
we are all miracles, and we are not welcome
reality would like nothing more than for you to not exist
and the proof is in the history you live; tell me this:
what are the odds?
that this planet would appear in just the right place
with the right atmosphere and conditions?
the specific combination of chemicals and catalyst
to spark in the darkness; just imaginе it
what are the odds this accident would sprеad?
what are the odds it would survive and stay ahead
of volcanic eruptions, meteorites and earthquakes?
that first drum, first beat, first rhythm, first break—
first time the notes broke to form a system
you could hear the first melody:
the first multi~celled organism
what are the odds this first environment to harbor life
would meet another, maybe fight or maybe harmonize?
but either way it would evolve
so what are the odds
it would evolve to walk and not crawl?
to fly and not fall? to survive every single mass extinction?
what are the odds of your existence?
how many generations did it take to make you?
how many plagues and massacres conspired to k!ll
your family tree before it could even take root?
how many ancestors claim you?
somewhere: a sunset
a mother with every reason to quit doesn’t
a conscript sneaks away from the action
a farmer makes it through the famine
somewhere, calamity strikes and everyone dies
except a big sister, holding a baby with your eyes
somewhere: a rebel, a runaway slave, a survivor
found something to die for, or something to live for;
against all odds, saw a future to fight for…
so is it inconceivable: the happenstance inherent in
this life you have inherited?
some see the elegant complexity of bodies
or the natural beauty of the planet and they say:
it’s godly. there’s got to be divine intelligence behind it all
because the odds that you would make it on your own
are so small
but me? i see millennia trying to murder you
i see a thousand generations of pain and fear
and struggle inscribed into your skeleton—
and i see you, still here
ancestor armor. star~crossed survivor
allied with the earth, and
defiance is your birthright; fire from the first time
you drew breath, and redrew your fate
welcome to this sp~ce; know that you are not welcome
we are all miracles, we are not welcome
so if our drawing breath is blasphemy or treason
let’s keep drawing breath
until there’s nothing left to breathe in
we are the codes that our ancestors still speak in
