| In the song "succexy" sounds like she's saying "so so sexy"... what do you think this word is supposed to mean? Is it a combination of the words "success" and "sexy"? | |

| We were in denail that war was obsolete. The "homeland" here I'm assuming is the US and it's allies (Britain, etc.) They plan our enemies, (Iraq, Afganistan) and tell us what to fight. We are consumers who devour everything, "follow the pattern- the hemlines, the headlines action distraction,faster than fashion faster than fashion,faster than fashion". | |

| I believe metric has combine successful and sexy together to make the invasion of other nations seem successfully appealing. The song is about how propaganda and other forms of advertising have unfortunately turned war into entertainment. Video games movies and join the army commercials are obvious examples that this has happened. The song says people dont notice this is going on because all they do is talk sit and switch screens but behind all of this unintentional denial there is something potentially dangerous being planned by our government. | |

| The use of "sexy" has come to mirror that which used to be defined as "powerful." While it's true that sex can be used as power, the notion of sex equaling power is now a commonplace western truism. Seymore Hersh (A writer for the New Yorker) wrote in his report on the Special Forces landing in Afghanistan that the staged nature of the attacks made for exciting television footage, calling it "sexy stuff." What is sexy about guns? What is sexy about blood spilled over tactical targets and political leaders? The power which these images convey has been equated with the power sex holds over the same men (mostly) in peacetime. The disappointing underlying failure in this paradox is that the very mechanism by which our only information about wartime is conveyed (the media) is served by making this comparison. Inconstani hit the nail on the head; Sex sells. That which can be made sexy or associated with sex will draw the consumer to what could normally be regarded as morbid, disturbing and moraly corrupt. There are less damaging examples of this cultural simile in the advertising world. The Europeans spearheaded the sex sells movement but did (and does) so with a certain responsibility to it's patrons; the West, unfortunately, has shed it's intimidation of responsibility in this way and promotes (gamourizes) sex. The good-natured tongue-in-cheek nature is gone; sex is power. -Brian | |

| is that really what succexxy means? I'd always assumed it was some reference to the canadian gouvernment (metric is a canadian band) and those of you acquainted with canadian politics would know the prime minister lives on 24 Sussex Drive. but i guess not. | |

| In my opinion, this song is all about desensitization to what's going on around us. "Nothing could beat complete denial" - "All we do is talk, sit, switch screens, as the homeland plans enemies" - "Passive attraction, programmed reaction". It's like if you see a news story on a guy getting killed for the first time, you'll think Oh god that's horrible! But after seeing it 5, 10, 20 times over, you won't care so much, and soon it'll just be a common occurrence to see death, violence and tragedy on tv. You are being corrupted by CNN...o.o | |

| has anybody heard about the hemline theory? i think it's the inspiration for this song, the hemline theory is when hemlines went higher when the economy went higher (early twenties, early sixties), and hemlines went down when the economy went down (great depression late twenties) | |

| If you guys like Metric, listen to Laura Veirs! I swear she sounds exactly like Emily Haines of Metric! Especially listen to her Year of Meteors Album (samples are on her site: http://www.lauraveirs.com/laura/listen.html) | |
