awerysopelea - Something Refuses to Be Nothing

Testo

[First Question] Before there was a “when,” where was possibility waiting? Before there was a law, what made the law behave? Before the first beginning, was beginning even possible? And if there once was nothing— why isn’t nothing all there is? [Attempt One – Physics] We traced the heat back through the darkness to a second with no past. Gave the silence finer numbers, built machines to make them last. We found particles in shadows, found the fingerprints of time. Every “how” became more beautiful. The “why” stayed undefined. [Refrain] Something keeps refusing to be nothing. Light keeps finding somewhere to begin. Every answer builds a doorway— every doorway opens in. I don’t know what holds reality together or what the word “real” is for. But something keeps refusing to be nothing— and I am something asking more. [Attempt Two – Names] We built a word and called it “nature.” Then asked why nature has its laws. We built a word and called it “God.” Then asked what language God was before. Science walked as far as numbers. Faith reached past what eyes could prove. Both arrived beside the border where a noun could no longer move. [Language Collapse] Why is there something instead of nothing? Warum gibt es etwas und nicht nichts? What makes reality real? Was macht Wirklichkeit wirklich? Reality. Wirklichkeit. Something. Etwas. Why? Warum? [Wordless Passage] Ah— [After Language] No answer came. But silence wasn’t empty. It held the breath of everyone who ever reached this edge. Maybe wonder is not failure. Maybe awe is knowledge without ownership. Maybe saying “I don’t know” is the last honest sentence before the universe speaks for itself. [Final Refrain] Something keeps refusing to be nothing. Light keeps finding somewhere to begin. Every answer builds a doorway— every doorway opens in. I don’t know what holds reality together. I don’t know what waits beyond. But something keeps refusing to be nothing— and we are something wondering on. [Final Statement] Nothing had forever. And still— here we are.
