Themes:

Lightheadness

Quotes:

Sweat stings, every new step brings an unending pain
Push on like the only pawn in the game
Train hard 'till you're bruised and scared and then train again
Hoping someday the pain will end
Knowing it won't be today
But I need to fight to be the best
I gotta train if I want it
Nothing ever changes without it
And I need to fight to be the best
Glory only comes to the winner
And I'm gonna be better...
Better...
Better!

Constellations
We're all fighting to find the truth
With determination
I'll fill the void between me and you
Looking up I will depart
I'll spread my wings so take my heart
To the constellations and make my dreams come true

But I'm not over you
This doesn't feel right
Could there be more than meets the eye

Quote:

1967 Parole Hearings Man: Ellis Boyd Redding, your files say you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated? 

Red: Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means. 

1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society... 

Red: I know what you think it means, sonny. To me, it's just a made up word. A politician's word, so young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie, and have a job. What do you really want to know? Am I sorry for what I did? 

1967 Parole Hearings Man: Well, are you?

Red: There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullsh█t word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a sh█t.

Theme:

Deflection Through Knowledge

Quote:

So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling; seen that. If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And look at you... I don't see an intelligent, confident man... I see a cocky, scared sh█tless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, and you ripped my f█cking life apart. You're an orphan right? You think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are, because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally... I don't give a sh█t about all that, because you know what, I can't learn anything from you, I can't read in some f█cking book. Unless you want to talk about you, who you are. Then I'm fascinated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that do you sport? You're terrified of what you might say. Your move, chief.

Quote:

  SOL 
  Listen to me. The Ancient 
  Japanese considered the Go 
  board to be a microcosm of 
  the universe. Although when 
  it is empty it appears to be 
  simple and ordered, in fact, 
  the possibilities of game play 
  are endless. They say that no 
  two Go games have ever been 
  alike. Just like snowflakes. 
  So, the Go board actually 
  represents an extremely complex 
  and chaotic universe. That is 
  the truth of our world, Max. 
  It can't be easily summed up 
  with math. There is no simple 
  pattern.
 
  MAX 
  But as a Go game 
  progresses, the possibilities 
  become smaller and smaller. 
  The board does take on order. 
  Soon, all moves are 
  predictable.

  SOL
  So?
 
  MAX
  So, maybe, even though we're not 
  sophisticated enough to be aware 
  of it, there is an underlying 
  order...a pattern, beneath every 
  Go game. Maybe that pattern is 
  like the pattern in the market, 
  in the Torah. The two sixteen 
  number.

  SOL 
  That is insanity, Max.
 
  MAX 
  Or maybe it's genius. I 
  have to get that number.

  SOL 
  Hold on, you have to slow 
  down. You're losing it, you
  have to take a breath. Listen 
  to yourself. You're connecting 
  a computer bug I had, a 
  computer bug you might have 
  had, and some religious 
  hogwash. If you want to find 
  the number two sixteen in the 
  world, you'll be able to pull 
  it out of anywhere. Two 
  hundred and sixteen steps 
  from your street comer to 
  your front door. Two hundred 
  and sixteen seconds you spend 
  riding on the elevator. When 
  your mind becomes obsessed 
  with anything, it will filter 
  everything else out and find 
  examples of that thing 
  everywhere. Three hundred and 
  twenty, four hundred and 
  fifty, twenty-three. 
  Whatever! You've chosen two 
  sixteen and you'll find it 
  everywhere in nature. But 
  Max, as soon as you discard 
  scientific rigor, you are no 
  longer a mathematician. You 
  become a numerologist. What 
  you need to do is take a 
  break from your research. You 
  need it. You deserve it 
  Here's a hundred dollars, I 
  want you to take it. If ,you 
  won't take it, borrow it. 
  Either way, take a break.
  Spend it however you like as 
  long as it falls in the 
  category of vacation. Real 
  world stuff, okay. No math.

 Max looks at his bands.

  SOL 
  Just try it. In a week 
  you'll laugh about this. 
  C'mon, Max. Think about it!
 
 Max gives a half nod.

We're stuck living like we're watching life in rewind
Never running low on time

Don't turn your back on me
Don't bury your head deep
Just cause you don't know what to say
Don't turn your back on me
Don't bury your head deep

That it kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting

Oh it beats you black and blue before you see it coming

Quote:

Little sparrow in the tree
If you could see the world like me
You would wonder why you even carry on...

And as you flutter down
Picking grubs out of the ground
I can't help but think my existence here is wrong--

Because I watch the trees brace themselves against the wind
I see the salmon as they struggle up the stream
And the winds clear the clouds as a brand new day begins
And I just notice everyday--

There's more of us, and less of you...
