But lets try anyway. If that insane length was one dollar bill / Then to reach the wavelength of the smallest particles Quarks, that are so fundamental they dont have an inherent size would be the current price youd gain if you sold Mount Everest made out of gold. That is insane. if you applied the Midas touch to my mind itd be quite enough to buy a car to drive And the gluons and 3 quarks combined make a large hadron those guys collide; a proton / and to magnify to that size would turn that Midas mountain into a diamond / my mind made of that could buy you an island / and next we ramp up, from quarks and protons to atoms, atoms the fractions of matter the ones that that grant us our mass, and if that quark was counted every time you take a / single breath / youd respire Midas mountains then until your death / and if that life / was compressed into one lock of hair / then as we climb / up the rest / of these atomic stairs / then wed pass / DNA / when we get to my red streak and the size of our cells / we equate / to every hair on my head... [Sometimes you make me feel so small Cant comprehend your size Yet Im a giant in your eyes] If we took my head of hair that a cell represents lifetimes of Midas Everest breaths and then you would stretch it out to the skyline, again and again youd find circle round the earth 10 times before you meet me... and you. Right here the reach of a human, a meter or two / and if we were to choose one song to represent those horizons, an MP3 on our device then to reach the size of the earth compared to like our size thats a terabyte hard drive filled with our files it seems immense And if we compress that collection to one word to represent our world, then scaling coefficients from the planet to the solar system would let me re-read the whole of deathly hallows awesome. And then to travel between stars as we take to the skies Would be 10 times every word youll ever say in your life And as an analogy of the expanse of galaxies up in space 10 times the total of every word in every book ever made And to move up to the scale of galaxy clusters would be every word said by everyone in Shanghai, in London Berlin, delhi, LA, Mumbai, Sao Paulo and Moscow Jakarta, Karachi, Dubai, Telford, Tokyo and Stockholm And then to galaxy superclusters in the large-scale structure with filaments that feel inadequately described as humungous since if we stay with the scale of Earth as a word that equates to all the words everyone alive today will ever say finally we reach the biggest physical thing we can confirm The indescribable size of the observable universe which would be more than every word that every person ever has said Every word that was ever written and every word that was ever read [Sometimes you make me feel so small Cant comprehend your size Yet Im a giant in your eyes. I cant control the scope But Im not losing hope] To summarise Every word that every person has ever said in their lives where each word implies enough MP3s to fill a terabyte hard drive Where each song is 10 times the number drives to the horizon that itd take to ride around the world each time you set eyes on one where each horizon is a head of hairs and every hair there is the length of a lifetime and each breath in that life is the price of mount everest made entirely by midas and that finally describes it, and its increasing in size So each time you listen to this song again itll be even more difficult to comprehend.$
