Clayton Jokythur - Random Numbers [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: Numberphile's James Clewitt (Clayton)]
Everybody, I want you to clear your head for a moment and I want you to think of a random number from 1 to 10
Got it? Ok
(Hmmm, let me think... random aight? Fine, seven!)
45% of you are going to have said 7. Seven. Everybody says 7
Obviously you're not gonna choose 1 or 10 because that's not very random, right?
You're not gonna choose an even number, because they don't sound particularly random, either
And you're not gonna go for 5, because 5's in the middle. Hell, that's not random
So you probably want a prime number, so 9's out
3 is too small. 3 is like you're not trying. You haven't worked hard enough to get to it
So what are you left with? You're left with 7. So everybody chooses 7
So is there something innately random about the number 7?
No, of course not. That's ridiculous! There's nothing random about any number, right?
If I said to you, pick a random number, and you said 5, how do I know that's random?

Random numbers
Ra-Random numbers
Random numbers
Random fucking numbers!

[Verse 1]
Yeah, what is random?
What is fucking random?
Your mind can't make it
Your computer neither
Lots of ways to fake it
But are you a believer?
Yeah, I mean is it random that
I befriended someone like Matt?
Yeah, he's my fucking homie
We know we good, don't we?
Vice President of Claybell
Yeah, he's doing very well
So can that be random?
Ask to our fandom

[Hook]
Random numbers
Ra-Random numbers
Random numbers
Random fucking numbers!

[Verse 2]
Is it random or
Is it predetermined, life?
Is it bad luck when we have war?
Good luck meet your future wife?
Or is it all set?
Carved in stone since we're born
And we just sit and let
Time tell us how it is, then we celebrate or mourn
Totally impotent, hostages to destiny
Or can we try to change what is and will be?
Numbers, everywhere just
Numbers; war, love, lust
Numbers, behind all technology
Controlling our society
A number to tag you
To say you're just a regu-
Lar person, with some random digits
Telling you your life, oh it's
That and this, just deal with it
Whatever you do, it was meant; that's why you did it
Can we accept that?
Can we accept being at
A planet with life in it
If just a single minute
Of our history was not like it is
Maybe there'd be no life, no you, no your kids
Random events creating us
Embrace the random then cause
That's an alias for freedom
Random numbers, we need'um
