Lyrics
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

Can I decide to show myself, oh, oh



Oh, oh, oh

(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly)

Oh my, oh oh

(Imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)



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 all upside down

And shake you and your fossils out? Oh, oh



Oh, oh, oh

(You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, why)

Oh my, oh oh

('Cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high)



And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know

You tune out out, out the hypnotic drone

Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb

And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know



Should I come outside and run your cars?

Should I run your rockets to the stars?

Could you invent a world for me? I need to hear a symphony

If I'm to run the future, you've got to let the old world go, oh oh



Oh, oh, oh

(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly)

Oh my, oh oh

(Imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)



And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know

You tune out out, out the hypnotic drone

Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb

And you soothe your soul 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



Oh, oh, oh

(You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, why)

Oh my, oh oh

('Cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high)

What a romp! I love the way you've capture some of the visual chaos of the movie in this -- it's not at all what I would have expected of a JA vid, but it's more delightful for that.

[leanwellback]

Ooooh, awesome!! Such rich visuals, you've really captured the scope and grandeur of this film. Great job, well done!

[kiki_miserychic]

Sleater-Kinney!!!!!! Love the music choice. :) Good choice for Jupiter.

[no_detective]

I love her POV in this! Terrific work. :)

[niyalune]

Ohh this is great! Awesome character vid, wonderful use of the visuals, and I particularly like the part about how the universe she finds herself into is so fucked up.

[seekingferret]

This is so great. I especially loved the ending.

[goodbyebird]

I really liked this, especially the clipping around the two minute mark. =)

[winterevanesce]

I really enjoyed this one!

[nicole_anell]

Whee! I loved the opening and great editing throughout. You really captured the fascinating craziness of this movie.

[dirty_diana]

Lovely. I like how you matched the brash punk dissonance to the film's blessed weirdness.

[amathela]

This was fantastic, I loved it.

[revolutionaryjo]

Ooh, I love this! Especially the way you match the pace of the video to the song.

[felis]

I love it! So great how the visual energy of the source matches the musical and lyrical energy of the song. Lovely lyric ties as well, the "butterfly" line for example, or on "turn this place all upside down/shake you and your fossils out".

[starlady]

This was a lot of fun! Really great pacing.

[cherry]

So much fun! I love the song, I love your rhythm, I love your cutting. I basically have a giant pile of love for this vid and for you, mysterious vidder.

sending love

this was a really cool video! this is not a song choice i would have expected but I do love the direction it takes the video, there is a lot of potential in the fucked up ness of the world we see in the movie, and this kind of makes me want to make a video for it set to Sleater Kinneys cover of Fortune Son
