Original research

I removed a section that appears to be original research by 72.219.139.50. the reference provided was just a link to the actual lyrics and not a review or other informational source on them. This was the section:

The lyrics and video for the song symbolize life's conflicts as games that can be won or lost, and although life's losses shouldn't bother the singer, they still do. It concludes with Patton breaking down over not being heard or understood. ^[1]

It's not original research, there's a source provided and the previous cite of the FAQ page elaborates on this. 72.219.139.50 (talk) 22:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dump

Until a direct use for them in the article is found I'm dumping these here as I collect them.

Patton, who has the attention span of a gnat, suddenly springs to his feet, and invites me to inspect a couple of new books he's acquired. The first, a pictorial collection of embalmed bodies lying in their states of grace, is titled Sleeping Beauty. An assassinated family, featured therein, is being considered for the sleeve of the next single, 'A Small Victory'.^[1]

“

It's totally different than any video we've ever done; 'A Small Victory' is pretty much of a dance song more than anything, it's the furthest we've ever taken that, so we had to have a visual to complement it.

“

We also wanted something very slick, something that looked really well-done, no tricks. The last video [Midlife Crisis] was beautiful looking but it had a weird photography style and a weird kind of color.

”

— Mike Bordin, ^[2]

“

Think of a Madonna video but see us in it instead. It doesn't make any sense, but at the same time it's perfect.
