i'm a bubble in a sound wave
a sonic push for energy
exploding like the sun
a flash of clean light hope
all you scientists can hold your breath
shall i decide to show myself? oh oh
if you think like thomas edison
could you invent a world for me
now all that's on the surface
are bloody arms and oil fields
could i turn this place upside down
and shake you and your fossils out? oh oh
should i come outside and run your cars
should i run your rockets to the stars
take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry and rhyme
you can't predict everything with newton like certainty why?
'cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high
and you soothe yourself with a sound you know
you tune out the hypnotic dance
perfect hexagon of the honeycomb
and you soothe yourself with the shapes you know
your word for me is fusion
but is real change an illusion
could i turn this place all upside down
and shake you and your fossils out
if i'm to run the future
you've got to let the old world go
could you invent a world for me
i need to hear a symphony oh oh
a sonic push for energy
exploding like the sun
a flash of clean light hope
all you scientists can hold your breath
shall i decide to show myself? oh oh
if you think like thomas edison
could you invent a world for me
now all that's on the surface
are bloody arms and oil fields
could i turn this place upside down
and shake you and your fossils out? oh oh
should i come outside and run your cars
should i run your rockets to the stars
take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry and rhyme
you can't predict everything with newton like certainty why?
'cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high
and you soothe yourself with a sound you know
you tune out the hypnotic dance
perfect hexagon of the honeycomb
and you soothe yourself with the shapes you know
your word for me is fusion
but is real change an illusion
could i turn this place all upside down
and shake you and your fossils out
if i'm to run the future
you've got to let the old world go
could you invent a world for me
i need to hear a symphony oh oh

"you can't predict everything with newton like certainty why?
'cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high
and you soothe yourself with a sound you know

and you soothe yourself with the shapes you know"
is really just a different way of saying everything Ive explained above.
The last verse starts with "your word for me is fusion but is real change an illusion?" which asks if what we are doing is really even making anything any better.
To sum up my point I will use the last few lines.
"if i'm to run the future
you've got to let the old world go
could you invent a world for me
i need to hear a symphony oh oh "
She is saying that, at this rate, the future of humans and many other species is not very safe and we need to stop with out "old world" ways and become truly progressive by paying more attention to what nature tells us. The last two lines are a rhetorical call for us to stop being gods. Beauty is in nature.
I agree with TaLeNa824 ... after all they said it in an interview... and SK's lyrics ddon't always need to be analysed to death, I don't think, to get the song...
even if mostly I'm too dumb to really figure out what they're saying lolololol
I say "sleeter" btw
it's dance
it's music
it's literature
it's art
etc.
it's about how all those things are what make us human, and they are fairly abstract and not easy to explain scientifically. yet the process is wonderfully powerful. "a sonic push for energy exploding like the sun"
a great, great, song and some of corin tucker's best lyrics.
it's dance?
