“Information High” is a song from the soundtrack of the animation Macross Plus (1995).
Title: Information High Singer: Gabriela Robin. Lyrics: Dai & Ken=Go. Music: CMJK (Yoko Kanno?).
You know how to get eternal life
in the center of the lightening-speed waltz.
Feel your soul cut by a rusty knife
as you head for the self-destructive edge.
Our satori are just floating in the core
where we can spiritually go through the door.
We'll know how to get eternal life
while we catch the pulse from unknown satellites
If we get the transient facts,
then we feel the info high.
If we get the transient facts,
then we are really free
to fly high
in space.
We know how to get an internal high
in the center of the lightening-speed waltz.
See our soul struggling to survive,
As we head down for the self-destructive edge.
Sayonara to intrusive noise.
No more childish play and no more toys.
We know how to get eternal life
while we feel and sense mother nature's strong might.
If we get the transient facts,
then we feel the info high.
If we get the transient facts,
then we feel the info high.
If we get the transient facts,
then we feel the info high.
If we get the transient facts,
then we are really free
to fly high
in space.
The song is a supreme frenzy of dance beat. The lyrics is supreme in describing a state of info-technological frenzy.
This song, in the context of the movie, is sung by pop queen named Sharon Apple, who is actually a Artificial Intelligence program, projecting herself as a hologram.
The word Satori (悟) is a Japanese Buddhist term for enlightenment, literally means “understanding”.
