Lyrics
I had the dream again the one where I just started to ascend
I had a recurring dream where I begin to ascend.
And my vision grew much clearer
In the dream, my vision becomes clearer.
Then all the people and the buildings and the ground began to blend
People, buildings, and the ground blend together in the dream.
And I saw a set of numbers
I see a set of numbers during the dream.
I had the dream again the one where I was forced to take a train
Another dream involves being compelled to take a train from Chicago to Atlanta.
From Chicago to Atlanta
During the train journey, I must provide the current ETA at top speed.
And when we reached top speed I had to give the current ETA
I use a calculator to determine the ETA.
So I grabbed a calculator
The narrator emphasizes the numerical nature of existence, highlighting the idea of being a number.
Ooh I'm a number, you're a number. can't you see?
Cells are dividing, expressing the concept of multiplication and growth.
And my cells are all dividing
The narrator contemplates encountering a pyramid of cans in a store.
Ooh I'm a number, you're a number. can't you see?
The falling cans form a pattern, and the narrator seeks to understand its tangent.
And my race is multiplying
Speculation about the distant future and the potential for human advancement.
I walked into a store and bumped into a pyramid of cans
A playful reference to the mathematical constant pi (π).
And they fell into a pattern
Raising doubt about the nature of a circle, suggesting it might be a trick.
And when the clerk came out he pointed at the triangle he planned
An invitation to challenge and question concepts, adding to the list of comprehension.
And I had to know the tangent
Reiteration of the numerical constant pi (π).
I still think we have at least a million years to go until we reach the end
Expressing optimism about the odds and possibilities for betting.
Soon we'll overthrow the sky and use it for ourselves and all we comprehend
When numbers shape our world, we gain control and frolic with gods.
3.1415926 a work of fiction
A humorous mention of Fermat, a mathematician, possibly in a social context.
Ever think the circle is a trick?
Suggesting Fermat's excitement or intense conversation with other scholars.
Grab a pen ill add it to the list. of comprehension
Highlighting the importance of margins in mathematical work.
3.1415926
A call to continue the celebration or discussion with Fermat.
I still think the odds are good that you can make a bet on what will be the
The story concludes without a catastrophic event, and the narrator gains wealth.
Odds
The narrator finds amusement in the accumulation of wealth.
When the numbers shape our world, and we control the shape we'll frolic with
Blank lines, possibly for artistic or formatting purposes.
The gods
-Someone grab Fermat another drink to stop his shouting
-Ask him what the other scholars think.
-If your margins are the missing link, I'll buy you paper
-Someone grab Fermat another drink
-And so the story ends without the world collapsing on itself
-And my computer started flashing
-And when I checked the net I found that I accumulated wealth
-So I almost started laughing.
