Intelligence
Alan Rickman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every tiny bubble burst, on it's journey to the light
But the spark of creation will flicker again
Its a brand new era, about to begin
Now you've been caught with console, and left out in the cold
Evolution's been passing us by
With this potion in hand, we've been givin' the chance
Come join me and seize this opportunity
Alter your destiny
Once in a row will be enough to put you on top
Intelligence, sailing you away
Intelligence, have a visit today
We owe it all to Joe
One potion, one ocean
One ruler of it all
Its a vision i've seen
Its a world of your dreams
Its a pearl in the palm of your hand
With the power of speech, it is all within reach
We can swim to the promised land
Our promise is Joe
He'll be our guiding light
He's mister big-time
King of the crop
Lord of the krill
The prince of the whales
Intelligence, sailing you away
Intelligence, have a visit today
We owe it all to Joe
King of the crop
Lord of the krill
The prince of the whales
The song "Intelligence," performed by the late actor Alan Rickman, appears to be a tribute to a man named Joe who is presented as a visionary leader who can help humanity achieve greatness. The lyrics suggest that there was once a time when the world was bleak and hopeless, represented by "a lonely silence" with "not a spec of hope in sight." But now, "the spark of creation will flicker again," ushering in a "brand new era" where humanity can achieve its full potential.
Joe seems to hold the key to this transformation, promising to guide people to "the promised land" and providing them with a "potion" that will allow them to "seize this opportunity" and "alter [their] destiny." The repeated chorus of "Intelligence, sailing you away / Intelligence, have a visit today / We owe it all to Joe" reinforces the idea that Joe is a figure of utmost importance, perhaps even a savior.
However, the song's lyrics are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation. It's unclear who Joe is or what his "potion" entails, and the repeated references to sea creatures like krill and whales may be metaphorical or symbolic in some way. Nevertheless, the song creates a powerful sense of optimism and potential for the future.

I think instead of "Promise us, Joe,
You'll be our kinda' guy."
She says "You'll be our guided light" instead
Amy Utting
I finds to extremely ironic that this character talks about Potions and Severus Snape is a Potions Master...

Amy Utting that's not how irony works
Lunam D. Roger
"No it is not. That is not at all what irony is. Irony, noun: an event or state of affairs that turns out to be deliberately contrary to what one would expect and is often humorous as a result. Example: your leader is named Thinker, though he appears to be something of a dullard."
