| I think the line "buried the hope I wanted to stay" wrong (at least for the album version). I think the line is actually "Buried the love that I'd hoped would stay" | |

This song (at least superficially) is about fusion power, which is probably obvious, but here's some more detail: "Bubble in a sound wave" Heck, I'm just going to quote an article found via google: When Rusi Taleyarkhan of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and colleagues reported last month that they had observed evidence for nuclear fusion in a beaker of deuterated acetone, controversy was sure to follow. The researchers claimed to have detected neutrons and tritium when bubbles in the acetone collapsed to generate temperatures of millions of degrees in sonoluminescence or "sound-into-light" experiments. "Source of Chaos, let me be the butterfly imperfect": This is a reference to "The Butterfly Effect" which is attributed to Edward Lorenz. The article he wrote which made this phrase famous was, "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?" "hypnotic dance, perfect hexagon of the honeycomb" One of the most impressive forms of animal communication is the dance that bees do to communicate the location of food sources. The involved dance communicates both direction and distance (through the angle and length of the dance). Weird, huh? |

I think the sample, "How much? She said for three hundred dollars I'll do it" is part of a joke. The joke goes something like this: Dude's walking down the street and a hooker comes up to him, and says, "Hey big boy, I'll do anything you want." The dude thinks, and says, "For how much?" She said "For three hundred dollars". He says, "b*tch, paint my house" I think this might be a Chris Rock joke (or even a sample, although it doesn't sound like him) |
