Waiting for a Superman - The Flaming Lips

A samurai would rather die than surrender his sword. Courage and honor require him to fight until his final breath, never releasing the ivory hilt of the tempered steel blade. The katana is the soul of the samurai. It contains his essence, his will, his honor. To surrender his sword is to surrender himself, and no samurai would ever possess such weakness.

A shame I'm not samurai.

When the only blood staining your sword and your clothing is your own, the realization that it isn't warrior's blood is inevitable. No amount of bleeding will make it so.

Courage and honor are beautiful things.

Frou Frou is wrong. There is no beauty in the breakdown. I was a fool for believing there was. We are all allowed to be fools at times. It's part of life, except when foolishness demands your life as its price.

The power of dreams can be found in raindrops, in stars, in music, in a spoken word, in a single glance. But when dreams die, that power becomes a venom that slowly drains the color from the world. That which inhabits the beauties in life can so quickly destroy them.

To those of you with the strength of character to withstand such things, I offer a toast. May your strength never betray you, may your dreams always be worth dying for, and may the beauty of the world never leave your sight.

Tell everybody waiting for Superman
That they should try to hold on as best they can.
He hasn't dropped them,
Forgot them,
Or anything.
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift.
