I need a bit of help here:

boukutachi wa hoono ten de shinaku, subete de mo atte.

For the first clause, I can translate it as 'we are nothing but just mere dots'... Well for the second phrase, the subete de mo atte really confused me. I have never seen this kind of sentence before, so can anyone help me here??? Thanks 👍
 
Translating song lyrics is notoriously difficult as they tend to be full of idioms and it's very difficult to pin down a subject for any given sentence (if they even DO have complete sentences) as it is usually implied. I used to take songs along to my Japanese teacher for translation practice and she hated it.

subete de mo atte (全てでもあって)
"atte" is the TE-form of aru (to have). "subete" means everything and "~demo" is a suffix that roughly translate as "even". So it could be translated as "even having everything"

Hope this helps. I googled for a translation of the song, but found nothing, unfortunately.
