== [https://youtu.be/lFlcC8p8-nM Opening credits] - Run Lola Run ==
 
 
 
All the possibilities. Alive. voices. running. yes! Imperative YES. To the universe, "I exist."
 
 
 
"At the end of our exploring we shall not cease from exploration . . . and the end of all of our exploring will be to arrive where we started. . . and know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot<br />
 
<br />
 
"After the game is before the game" - Sepp Herberger<br />
 
<br />
 
"The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. That's a fact. everything else is pure theory. Off we go!"<br />

Could be a Flashback to how she meet None while going crazy. It didn't happen exactly like this way. and this is her own version of a "full moon".
 
 
 
I spoke to a man<br />Down at the tracks<br />And I ask him<br />How he don't go mad<br />He said 'Look here junior, don't you be so happy<br />And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad'<br />

She died of hypothermia by following a voice in to the cold.
 
 
 
I like so many of the lyrics...
 
 
 
"He stumbled in to faith/God this is all that there is" and with breathing pictures arising in his mind.
 
 
 
And tragic human condition that this character would be trying to tell people about as they marched down the same railroad tracks she stopped at.
 
 
 
They started off beneath the knowledge tree<br />
 
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences<br />
 
They marched along the railroad tracks<br />
 
And smiled real wide for the camera lenses<br />
 
They made it past the enemy lines<br />
 
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines<br />
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/tHAhnJbGy9M On The Radio] - Regina Spektor ==
 
 
 
Alma starting to wake up, learning how to do things, but this is also about her general temper in life even before she wakes.
 
 
 
This is how it works<br />
 
You're young until you're not<br />
 
You love until you don't<br />
 
You try until you can't<br />
 
You laugh until you cry<br />
 
You cry until you laugh<br />
 
And everyone must breathe<br />
 
Until their dying breath<br />
 
<br />
 
No, ''this'' is how it works<br />
 
You peer inside yourself<br />
 
You take the things you like<br />
 
And try to love the things you took<br />
 
And then you take that love you made<br />
 
And stick it into some<br />
 
Someone else's heart<br />
 
Pumping someone else's blood<br />
 
And walking arm in arm<br />
 
You hope it don't get harmed<br />
 
But even if it does<br />
 
You'll just do it all again<br />

Working hard, getting overwhelmed. This is like when a person is overdoing it without realizing it. They'll get more and more worn down and ultimately if a stressor happens they might spiral in to illness.
 
 
 
I feel the weight of a billion years<br />(but) I try to do it alright<br />Working hard, little delight<br />I forgot the sound<br /><br />(So bright/heavy/wild cannot mine/tame/name)<br />...I try to do it alright<br />
 
 
 
== [https://okgosandbox.org/more Upside Down & Inside Out] - Ok Go ==
 
 
 
Wake up time. It was confusing. It was giddy. It was frightening. It was glorious and colorful and full of joy. But maybe sometimes you'd want to vomit.
 
 
 
So when you met the new you<br />Were you scared?<br />Were you cold?<br />Were you kind?<br />Yeah when you met the new you<br />Did someone die inside?<br />
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-O0vHJzoFc Ghost] - Neutral Milk Hotel[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Aeroplane_Over_the_Sea#Lyrics] ==
 
 
 
Going crazy with agitation towards fate. feeling a mix of helplessness and power. (Jeff Magnum wrote this album while thinking of Ann Frank.)
 
 
 
Ghost, ghost I know you live within me<br />I feel you as you fly<br />In thunder clouds above the city<br />Into one that I love<br />
 
 
 
With all that was left within me<br />Until we tore in two<br />Now wings and rings and there's so many<br />Waiting here for you<br />
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/ppeZQ8inevE Running One] - Run Lola Run ==
 
 
 
edginess/agitation/energy going on. The kind that's building up from more and more stressors but which also digs up insight and productivity.
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/U1gaybkCgF0 Where Do I Begin] - The Chemical Brothers featuring Beth Orton ==
 
 
 
blissed out. not just magic, but life.
 
 
 
Where do I start<br />Where do I begin<br /><br />Where do I start<br />Where do I begin<br />
 
 
 
and reminds me of this, ...plus lots of sex.
 
 
 
''Try not to localize the mind anywhere, but let it fill up the whole body, let
 
it flow throughout the totality of your being. When this happens you use the
 
hands where they are needed, you use the legs or the eyes where theyare needed,
 
and no time or energy will go to waste.'' - Takuan
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/oHTFmJk7fH0 Green Grass of Tunnel] - Múm ==
 
 
 
More calming and acceptance. a relaxed letting go and gaining insight from
 
flocks... from static... from... existence.
 
 
 
Down from my ceiling<br />
 
Drips great noise.<br />...
 
 
 
And when I'm swimming in<br />
 
through a tunnel<br />
 
I shut my eyes.<br />
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTeZcHWHeW4 We're All in This Together] - Ben Lee ==

== [https://youtu.be/5R8EpAv4miA See Emily Play] - Pink floyd ==
 
 
 
Trying over and over and over to get something done. Sometimes in futility, but
 
with an unselfconsciousness earnestness and work.
 
 
 
Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh<br />
 
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />
 
<br />
 
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh<br />
 
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />
 
<br />
 
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh<br />
 
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)<br />
 
<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />

Trying over and over and over but in a state of relaxation and acceptance. with
 
voices in an imaginary but almost recognizable language.
 
([https://sigur-ros.co.uk/band/faq.php#07 hopelandic]).
 
 
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You're so low<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
(you're so)<br />
 
<br />
 
you sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You're so low<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You're so<br />

We didn't start this, but we're stuck with the consequences. Can we fight destiny? What do we
 
we choose?
 
 
 
fuck predestination.
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/MMEpaVL_WsU Eet] - Regina Spektor ==
 
 
 
This song? Again? That's what happens when you get a mind wipe.

so come out.<br />
 
you have been waiting long enough.<br />
 
you're done with all the talk talk talk with nothing on the table.<br />
 
it's time to come on out.<br />
 
there will be no sign from above.<br />
 
you'll only hear the knock knock knock of your own heart as signal.<br />
 
if you are afraid, come out.<br />
 
if you are awake, come out.<br />
 
come out and level up.<br />
 
 
 
begin again.<br />
 
dynamite the dam on the flow.<br />
 
your body feels the tock tock tock of time as it hammers.<br />
 
lord we are all cinders<br />
 
from a fire burning long ago,<br />
 
but here it is the knock knock knock of your own heart that matters.<br />
 
 
 
if you are afraid, come forth.<br />
 
if you are alone, come forth now.<br />
 
everybody here has loved and lost,<br />
 
so level up and love again.<br />
 
 
 
call it any name you need.<br />
 
call it your 2.0, your rebirth, whatever --<br />
 
so long as you can feel it all,<br />
 
so long as all your doors are flung wide.<br />
 
call it your day #1 in the rest of forever.<br />
 
 
 
if you are afraid, give more.<br />
 
if you are alive, give more now.<br />
 
everybody here has seams and scars.<br />
 
so what. level up.<br />
 
 
 
let your faith die.<br />
 
bring your wonder.<br />
 
yes, you are only one.<br />
 
no, it is not enough<br />
 
but if you lift your eyes, I am your brother.<br />
 
 
 
and this is all we need.<br />
 
and this is where we start.<br />
 
this is the day we greet.<br />
 
this is the day, no other.
