Go To The Movie Lyrics


Akira The Don Go To The Movie

It's like what happens at the beginning of the story of Pinocchio is that Jepetto
Wishes on a star
So what Jepetto does is align himself with the metaphorical manifestation of the highest good he can conceptualize
He aims
At the star
For him the star is the possibility that he can take his creation
A puppet whose strings are being pulled by unseen forces
And have it transform into something that's autonomous and real
Well, that's a hell of an ambition
You know and we're wise enough to put that into a children's movie, but too foolish to understand what it means
It's such an interesting juxtaposition that we can both know that, and not know it at the same time

[Chorus]
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”

Well, people are complicated, right? We exist at different levels, and all the levels don't communicate with one another but the movie is a hypothesis, and the hypothesis is
There's no better pathway
To self-realization
And the ennoblement of being
Then to posit the highest good that you can conceive of and commit yourself to it
[Chorus]
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”

[Akira The Don]
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
You can go to the movie, you can watch it and it makes sense
But that doesn't mean that you can go home and think, “Well, I know what that meant.”
I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant
I know what that meant

There's no better pathway
To self-realization
And the ennoblement of being
Then to posit the highest good that you could conceive of, and commit yourself to it
(I know what that meant)
(I know what that meant)
(I know what that meant)
(I know what that meant)
And then you might also ask yourself, and this is definitely worth asking is
Do you really have anything better to do?
And if you don't, well, why would you do anything else?
